@@hunterjordan4327 your response was the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen or read, you obviously did not watch him play, he won six championships, basically by himself in the clutch, and he never had a good center call. He did have Pippin, but that’s about it go back and watch every fourth quarter of every playoff game, and you might change your mind, peace and love, Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time, and it’s not even close, PS, one of the best defenders of all time
@@AlonsoRulesYeah, but this ovation would’ve gone on for god knows how long, had they not given him the Mic. He also had a similar ovation in DC for his last game there.
I remember PA announcer Ray Clay got fired for introducing Jordan that way. Wound up being the public address announcer for the WNBA's Chicago Sky, how the mighty have fallen.
@@rockvilleraven what really? Man's introducing the best bull ever, the man that put all his sweat and blood in that club and he's getting fired for letting him have a final moment in chicago? World's messed up
rockvilleraven It was not Clay doing that introduction, it was Steve Scott. Clay was fired in may the year before. But Clay insisted he got fired because management took offense to him saying that Jordan's first return as an opponent deserved a special introduction. So yeah management sucked.
I respect ur opinion but I only agree with 1/3 of ur statement. Many Olympic gold medalists in my eyes are better athletes...examples are Michael Phelps, usain bolt, some could make an argument that Cristiano ronaldo is the greatest athlete of all-time considering he is complete as far as his devision of athletics go. Also he was extremely popular but I don't think he's the the most popular.
Bryan F Nascimento He's the most popular. It used to be between him and Tiger Woods, but Tiger lost that with his scandals and fall off. Phelps might be one of the best but not more popular neither is Bolt.
I can agree with that. Ali, maybe Babe Ruth too. Maradona and Pele worldwide but I bet half the USA don't even know who they are. Heck I didn't even know about their legends until a few years ago cuz Im not that into Soccer/Football.
I didn't think that I would actually watch a clip of more than three minutes standing ovation ... three times back to back to back..MJ is what made me love and play basketball..Love you MJ thanks for making my childhood full of happy memories..
it brings a tear to my eye seeing that ewing cheered with might at jordan....knowing that he won 6 titles while pat won naught...... knowing that their rivalry went as far back as school days amongst them......thats pat showing class as usual
isn't amazing how mj all these years still continues to connect to us? he has this unimaginable and unexplained connection to people that makes us cry, laugh with him..and that is why for me..im 24..i have a very happy childhood..one main thing is because michael was still playing the game..and he gave me memories to cherish forever! he loves the game so much and gave his heart out day in and night..not just for chicago but for all of us around the globe! but chicago is the lucky one!
I was hopping Kobe would've gotten a reception this night but it wasn't even close. lol. Watching this video always makes me type emotional. This is true respect for a legend.
I was lucky enough to buy tickets for the game from one of the sidewalk scalpers. Paid $500 for a pair of lower level but high up lower level. It was amazing the ovation he received. Favorite player by a country mile.
ya know,im 30 years old,but I get emotional because I grew up watching MJ.when you grow up and you look up to someone and then you finally grasp the fact that your witnessing the greatest basketball player of all time,its hard not to get emotional.a standing ovation like that is amazing to see as a fan!pro sports has lost its luster since players like him retired.
this actually made me emotional...by far the greatest player ever..he is the reason i have spent 19 of my years playing basketball and wearing number 23..
Grew up watching the bulls. I born in chicago, raised in the burbs of chicago, and glad we showed our proper apprecation of this talent we had the priveledge to experience for so many seasons. Greatest of all time.
When you boo your home team for interrupting the applause of an opposing player that's when you know you're the goat...that ovation would've lasted longer than the game if mj didn't nip it in the bud....and lets not forget the only sports figure in history to have his banner up at an opposing arena's team where he never even played for Miami.
I was at that game. I was in Chicago for two weeks and bought a single ticket. It was Jalen Rose bobble head night night sponsored by Sears. I still have that bobble head to this day. The intro was incredible. I got goosebumps even up in the nose bleed section.
Iam there that moment there a lot people screaming and crying. We never see another NBA player in the next generation like him. His just simply amazing. Thank for making the NBA become know when you still playing. Thanks
I am 47 years old Korean.I grew up watching Michael Jordan play in '93-98.At that time, there were a lot of people in parks and gyms who wanted to play basketball during school lunch or after school.Jordan's popularity at the time was beyond imagination, and Jordan came out as a regular in sports maintenance.It was Haeun who watched Jordan's game in my life.
This is honestly unreal. This just magnifies Jordan's impact on both the NBA and the city of Chicago. I honestly can't think of a player today who would get this type of a standing O.
Its simple to explain why MJ is having this kind of Ovation and Respect to all fans out there and believer and many more. Bcuz MJ is the Original you notice that like Kobe/lebron and etc is trying to be like Michael Jordan but even you do better than original keep it in mind that you cant be the same as the original. So We miss you MJ in the hard court of Basketball but as far as i see your the Father of all the next era to you hahaha you did it very well MJ thanks for the moves you share to all of us.
Number moment in sports history. Only in a city like Chicago only a play like mj. How many times in the history of any sport has anyone away or at home had a 3 min plus standing ovation after being aunnoced. Gives me chills. Undoubtly the most beautiful moment in sports. Really defines his career and like they were saying how much he meant to chicago.
@@hitman321100 kareem was tall, destroyed by wilt chamberlain, and stacked his stats with almost unblockable skyhook and that's all he could offer to the basketball world how pathetically boring
lol man i still get chills during the player intro's. you know you're the greatest ever, when you step into an arena as a visitor and still get an introduction as if you're on the home team.
So glad that I grew up watching the best basketball player ever hands down! I don't care what people say he is the goat if you didn't watch him play back then then you have no idea! O ya when y'all kids get Jordan's I've been getting them before they were retro we got them not because it was the it thing we got them because Jordan wore them and saw what he did we all wanted to be like him on the playground (basketball) do your home work teens
He could shoot 3s just didnt need to scored from every way inaginable. Made them when it counted 97 flu game sealed it with a 3. Best sg rebounder ever avg 6 a game. Great passer was in the triangle yhat didnt get easy assits like todays game. Enough said
+darockk there's no doubt that MJ was the better player. He's the greatest player of all time, so obviously he's better than Kobe. It's just sad that Kobe didn't get this kind of ovation when he gave the Lakers their greatest period since the Magic era.
For those of you who were curious about that 122-9 home record. He meant that was Jordan's home record in the United Center, which was opened in 1994. Michael played a total of 1072 regular season basketball games but only 131 in the united center.
Kobe is gonna cry when its his turn to retire in the lakers home! Guaranteed! Kobe loves bball more than anyone ever , respect to MJ. He didnt like losing lol
Michael Jordan was to Da Bulls that Walter Payton was to Da Bears...though Bear fans never had to see Sweetness wear another team's uniform. After all these years, still brings tears to the eyes seeing MJ's final introduction in Chi-town. Wish more players were like him.
I feel lucky I got watch this man play basketball. I never seen no Athlete play every game, like it was their last. Jordan the most competitive player I ever saw, and the best leader I ever seen, in sports!
How many of you agree that when Kobe and Lebron retires their fans will try to outdo this applause, strictly on the basis of this video and just to say they cheered longer. That's why they are soo lame. lol Jordan sets the standard, everyone else just copies.
No ovation could be long enough to pay respect to what MJ did for the Bulls. G.O.A.T.
I like Mike, but that’s the stupidest thing I ever heard.
@@hunterjordan4327 your response was the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen or read, you obviously did not watch him play, he won six championships, basically by himself in the clutch, and he never had a good center call.

Jordan deserves every second of that standing ovation!!
This got to be the longest standing ovation ever.I think the fans coulda went forever if the lights didn't shut. What a true legend.
the same sh@t, bro
Beat me to it lol
Maurice Rocket Richard had a long ovation in the 90's
@@AlonsoRulesYeah, but this ovation would’ve gone on for god knows how long, had they not given him the Mic.
He also had a similar ovation in DC for his last game there.
This gesture itself give me a spine chills.. In NBA history, there can only be Michael Jordan...
i love how the fans boo'd when the lights turned off cuz they weren't done cheering for MJ just yet.

AirCanada1J5 jordan is recognize world wide plus he has his own brand of shoes many cannot do that
AirCanada1J5 Ever heard of Muhammad Ali ? He's the only one who matches with Jordan in terms of popularity (all along with Maradona and Pele)
I can agree with that. Ali, maybe Babe Ruth too. Maradona and Pele worldwide but I bet half the USA don't even know who they are. Heck I didn't even know about their legends until a few years ago cuz Im not that into Soccer/Football.
After all the excitement, the entertainment, the joy, the wins he gave those fans, the ovation is well deserved. Greatest ever!
Wow, they booed when the lights went off to intro their own team! Amazing!
MJ greatest ever
This is why Chicago is the greatest sports city on Earth. Simply put, the greatest fans you'll ever find. Very well done ovation and well deserved.
Every city would cheer like that if they had Jordan to cheer for!
Disagree
Should I bet a thousand now that you're from Chicago? lol :)
Codeman Crawford Considering how they packed the stadiums to the brim despite the fact that the Bulls blew ass back then, I'd say it doesn't matter.
Best fans in the world? I guess that's why the Cubs haven't won in over a century
Never seen a standing ovation like this...Never seen a basket ball player like this either.
Bobby Kennedy - 1964 DNC - 22 minutes
This puts the biggest smile on my face. Growing up as a Bulls fan, watching MJ and collecting basketball cards are some of my best chilhood memories.
He was embarrassed by the ovation but he knew it wouldn't stop that guy gave every inch of his soul to the bulls..
Man I remember watching this game originally, I've never seen an ovation like this, it was just unreal.
well said, MJ was the greatest and still is by far
"Unreal", that the best word to qualify him
I'm still watching this in 2024. Every year I'm watching this. Goat is MJ and MJ is goat.
The greatest of all time period.
Jordan isn’t just the best in basketball, he is one of the most famous persons, if he isn’t the most in sports history.
Michael Jordan will forever be the greatest basketball player to ever live.
I didn't think that I would actually watch a clip of more than three minutes standing ovation ... three times back to back to back..MJ is what made me love and play basketball..Love you MJ thanks for making my childhood full of happy memories..
The fans would still be clapping to this day if they didn't turn off the lights. Quite simply, the greatest player we will ever see
What a bunch of classy fans those Bulls fans were, and still are. Amazing experience. I'll always be proud to be a Chicago Bulls fan.
there's something in my eye

This shows just how much he meant to the game and the city.
He received standing ovations every game this season.
Name one other player in anything.
He gave it all everytime he plays for others to see and for the first timers. He deserved it.

One of the ONLY times you will EVER see an opposing team not only applaud a player from the visiting team, but give them an ovation.
The opposing team is the bulls…..
Three minutes of applause for the King.
It is something that can never experience firsthand the silly Lebron James.
i remember this watching this game when i was 8 at the united center. i wish i was older back then so i could appreciate it so much more
Longest standing ovation ever!

Michael Jordan: The Greatest Player of ALL Time. No one can prove to me any different. Thanks for the memories MJ
Difference between Michael and Lebum, Michael didn't choose to leave Chicago, they let him go.
Not necessarily true. Jordan had grown tired of the theatrics behind the scenes.
