4-20-1986 - Eastern Conf. Round 1 Game 2 - After playing only 18 regular season games in the 1985 - 1986 season because of a foot injury, Michael Jordan shows just how well he recovered by torching the Celtics for 63 pts in a double OT loss.
This number (63) set the record for most individual points scored in a playoff game that still stands today.
What's amazing about this feat is that Jordan scored 63 against what is thought by many to be one of the greatest teams to be ever assembled.
After the game Larry Bird quoted "I didn't think anyone was capable of doing what Michael has done to us." "He is the most exciting, awesome player in the game today. I think it's just God disguised as Michael Jordan."

this is so inspiring. the 86 celtics were one of the greatest teams of all time. larry was at his peak.
and mj didn't give a fuck.
MJ also didn't beat that Bird team!
bird is a joke to mj
as a year old rookie
neither did Bird
They won against the Bulls though. LMAO. Larry didn't give a fuck either.
That move on Bird, classic.
Man, the Celtics players look SO frustrated during this game. Infuriating that ONE player can give a team this much trouble.
+drlee2 ahahahahahahahahahah
lol he didn't give the Celtics any trouble. they got swept.
T0PSECRET noone says the 80s were physical, they always say 90s😂😂
@Jay Thompson Michael Jordan killed the whole team Jay! I mean look at the video.
@T0PSECRET you crazy that team could be any team today.
I remember watching this and thinking to myself “this guy is scary” they literally put every guy on the team on him and still couldn’t stop him
Time flies my friend
Bulls came short though.
"Well, we're playing the Boston Celtics, Pat."
Curtis Wogan - I was hoping someone else caught that lol. I love that he corrected him. "Well, Pat, if the leprechaun at center court didn't tip you off, we're playing the Celtics." Ha ha ha.
Pat was on coke again and talking dirty before the game....
That was funny
Checked him lol
How do you screw that up. So much green! 😂
The absolute swagger Young MJ had to dribble down to the wing and go through his legs twice and then nail a jumper in Larry birds face is absolutly amazing.
The greatest basketball player Ever. Period.....
Young Jordan definitely challenged himself when he stated before the game "I don't think one man could beat the Celtics"
@Fred Garvin GET A JOB!!!!!! How many times you gonna post this IDIOTIC comment????? WHO ELSE WAS GOING TO SCORE???????????
“...but let’s give it a try anyway.” 😜
@Fred Garvin That's how you see it? Jordan scored 63 on nearly 54% from the field. The entire Bulls team(minus Jordan) shot less than 44% in this series. To call the Bulls a crappy team would be an understatement.
@Fred Garvin No. The Bulls lost and the Celtics prevailed. This isn't a 1v1 matchup. The 86 Celtics was one of the best teams ever,while the Bulls was nothing but a lottery franchise. The better team won.
Jordan: I don't think one man can beat the Celtics
Also Jordan: I took that personally
Even with all the videos on the internet. People really forget how GOOD Michael Jordan was. He was the Best! He was the first to do what he did and he will probably be the last as the years go by. It’s like he was from a different planet. GOAT
Yeah, he really was THAT GOOD and THAT AMAZING. Not an exaggeration at all. I mean he was so good that we're underestimating him if anything.
That Chicago warm-up shirt with the oversized NBA logo is Fire!
This was like 2 eras clashing in one arena, crazy time warp of different brands of basketball.
6 HOF in that game but only 1 in red.
John Nootens This is why Michael is the greatest.
John Nootens scottie pippen too is a hof
Anibal Perez Scottie Pippen is not even in the NBA at this point..lol.
Anibal Perez 😂😂😂
@@anibalperez5995 just shut up. Jesus...
My favorite MJ performance ever!
@Michael Shackelford hey, I said MY favorite
The game 2 against Portland in the NBA FINALS in 1992 when he hit 6 3 pointers in the first half.
As Larry Legend said , “he’s God playing basketball “. To this day there hasn’t been any player like this. It’s no wonder his sneakers still are the best seller worldwide. Thank goodness for RUclips.
Basically his rookie yr coming off his only real injury....scores 63 on one of the best teams ever! 🤦🏼♂️ 🐐
Raymond Briones during this time they had the third best win loss record in nba history lmfao imagine going 67-15 and people still dont give you credit just bc u dont have the same opinion on mj that almost everyone else does
Raymond Briones the ‘86 Celtics that won the title that year DEFINITELY is and considered one of the best teams ever! Where u sleeping cuz?
Jamal Greasy kudos but NO! 96 Bulls r d 🐐!
ITSALLAGAME Dennis Rodman played for both Detroit and the Bulls on their championship teams. A few days after the Bulls won in 1996, Rodman said in an interview that the Pistons teams would have easily beat that (supposed) “greatest team” that won in 96.
Btw, those 80s teams consistently crushed the souls of those Pistons teams until the Celtics finally broke down like an old hoopty in 1988.
And yes, the 1986 Celtics is the greatest team ever assembled. How many other teams sported five Hall of Famers and the only non Hall of Famer (Ainge) made a few All Star games?
@Jamal Greasy you think the 86 celtics is the best team ever... hahahahahahaah
Unreal. You know he is going to have the ball in his hands and they still couldn't stop him. The definition of greatness right here
People forget he practically missed the whole 85-86 season. Can you imagine how many more points he would have finished his career with if he didn't miss that season along with taking off for baseball?
And if he didn’t retire in 1998 to 2001, that is the only thing lebron has over MJ which is longevity, but MJ had a higher peak.
@@westbrookthegoat576 Micheal Jordan is probably legitamtely a psychopath.
Noah Buchl fax
And came out of highschool like LeBron
@@fredfells209 Jordan wanted to go to college. LeBron didn't. Jordan has an NCAA Championship in his resume. LeBron James will NEVER EVER know what that experience is about
Announcers said MJ had the jump shot ability of Jerry West with the drive ability of Julius Erving... HA!.. sheesh
After this game, a reporter asked Larry Bird what he thought of Jordan's performance. Bird replied: "That wasn't Michael Jordan. That was GOD disguised as Michael Jordan."
Well bird know who the GODZ are..😂😂
Danny Ainge got torched as a Celtic and as Sun by MJ in the playoffs.
And a Trail Blazer
MJs performance..amazing against that legendary Celtics team...imagine if he had a better bulls team
Never thought I’d hear “McHale” and “poor defence” in the same line
Kevin Mchale super great two way basketball player
5:40 look how the opposing bench reacts. MJ was truly greatness
Even the Celtics coach mentioned that he looked at the Celtics bench and asked the players to come off the bench and guard Michael Jordan. No one wanted to come off the bench. Jordan intimidated the Celtics bench
This game is forever legendary
A young MJ in his prime is still the best basketball player to ever live.
Couldn’t agree more
I know you made this comment seven years ago, but LeBron would eat these players up
@@briendunphyii8799 Lmao are you fucking kidding me lebron would never be able to do what Jordan did here. Lebron has no art about his game, it's just bulldoze to the rim and force everyone to stand on the 3 pt line
@@randyrhoads9153 Lebron would EAT in this era. The degenerates gaurding Jordan here are such a joke. this is some of the worst defense I have ever seen.
@@isaiahlamont748 Lmao seriously? Lebron would hard fouled ONCE and start rolling on the floor crying. Lebron is a fucking pussy.
The shoes bro 🔥🔥🔥😭it all makes sense now
keep in mind everyone this was MJs 2nd season in the league … he already made a statement just in 2 seasons: season 1 carried the bulls to playoff as a rookie couldve potentially walked away with both MVP and roy, season 2 once again takes bulls to playoff and scored the most pts ever inna post season game…
and there's still fools out there to put players next to his name… imma knick fan and I will tell y'all this much no one has ever slaughtered my Knicks as much as this man did… and that one of the best knick teams ever assembled and this man slaughtered them like some fresh meat …
Just like Larry Bird said "it wasn't Michael Jordan , it was GOD disguised as Michael Jordan"

Still til this day an NBA Playoffs Record.
Who here after watching thelastdance documentary
Steven Nguyen me
Steven Nguyen I came here just to look for this post lol smh

Trying to sync the LL Cool J "I'm Bad" to these highlights
I'm sorry I know Jordan can make defenders look bad but this was the #1 defense in a 20× more physical era? These white guys are slow as fuck. Part of Michaels domination was being the first Alien these guys had ever dealt with and it has slowly evolved where now there's about 20plus guys today would seem like athletic aliens back then. So this OP hypothetical he would average 50 today shit needs to stop.
I like how towards the end of the game they were trying to figure out what to do with the ball and this man grabbed the ball and bounced one time looked at it and realized this the Michael Jordan was just playing with. His eyes lit up and bounced the hard the second time with excitement 🏆
The Greatest Ever. Period.......
I remember this game like it was yesterday....Sunday afternoon spring of 86... one helllllllllluva a summer THANK YOU LORD FOR BIRTHING ME OLDSCHOOL HS CLASS OF 85 ✌🙏💪
That was awesome at 1:50 against Bird. He dribbled between his legs 3 times, got a little space and swished the jumper.
MJ almost single handedly beat this team in the playoffs scoring 63 points and only being a couple of years into the NBA. Unbelievable!
Jordan is the only player I have ever seen where players on other teams admitted that they were Jordan fans. They were actually all in awe. Thankful I got to live in the era when he first entered the league. People who weren’t even Basketball 🏀Thankful I got to live in the era when he first entered the league. People who weren’t even basketball fans suddenly became basketball fans just to watch him. It was something new every time he came down the court and you knew it was going to be incredible.
Man, that 80s defense was just soooooo ruthless I can not believe Jordan could even walk after this game. The fact that he ONLY shot 21 free throws is just unreal. And don't even get me started what amazing athletes were guarding Jordan, no one else to ever walk the earth could ever play as Jordan did against these freaks of nature!
1:51 What the hell is this commentator talking about? Jordan's off hand is accurate like a GOD!
he was the king of basketball
+daniel mchale correction God of basketball
This was the game where Larry Legend commented on an interview that "God disguised himself as Michael Jordan"
Is*
Player of the game at the losing team.. GOAT
the greatest of all time!
Incredible he did this in those 1s does shoes are highly uncomfortable
Chris Williams lmfao they have no arch support and they’re basically casual shoes nowadays lmao they hurt my feet like shit after walking an hour in them lmao i can’t imagine playing a full nba game in them but mike did
I have been saying this to my friends. He even talked about wearing them vs. the Knicks when he came back after his first retirement and his feet were bleeding. He said he was having such a good game he didn’t want to take them off. But they are definitely not made for an uptempo basketball game.
MJ is by far the best
I'm a big kobe fan but seeing michael play, damnn. .he is so good, no one can match his skills and leadership, he is the greatest of all time, but you have to atleast put kobe besides him.
Honestly in my opinion shooting guard wise
Micheal 1.
Kobe 2.
Micheal had better teams around him then Kobe did later in his career and during his prime. Micheal had a better inside game but Kobe throughout his career was a way better shooter.
@K1dCharlemagne alright you hit me with facts I respect it.
@@Realscience1922 Im not sure if I'd put Kobe right next to MJ considering there's many other amazing players like Chamberlain, Kareem and that. But honestly, I think LeBron is an all around better player than Kobe.
9:51 Haha. John Paxson when he was sporting a moustache.
Looking Reemsish.
Missed the entire season..Didn't gain weight (Zion Williamson)....Came back & lit Boston up....Also that move against bird...For you amateurs...That was surreal.......Simply the best basketball player..Ever....
Harden, Durant, late Kobe aint the scorer Mike waa. An unguardable specimen. The Greatest.
I remember this season. He had an injury and was allowed 7 minutes per half during the season. Them explodes for 49 and 63 points at the start of the playoffs. What a guy!
Share, the GOAT.
Jordan knew how to use his vertical so well, it impresses me every time I see it. These days you'll see 50 dudes with that vert, but none of them can finish like that.
63 points against 4 Hall of Famer in Playoffs, he's a God
To think mj missed most of that regular season that year.. Management didn't want him to come back that year, and he drops 63 on the chaps of that year, 49 the game before, and was a rebound or a assist shy of a triple double in game 3.. Just remarkable.. Did anyone notice the ice man George gervin on the bulls bench towards the end of video? 4got he was a bull for a minute...
Even over here in England if you ask someone who's never played basketball to name a famous player, they'll come up with Jordan, people can aspire to be the next MJ, but no-one will aspire to be them. He is the greatest, unquestionably.
Jordan did this primarily against Dennis Johnson, a 9-time All Defensive team member. And the Celtics were not only the eventual champs, but the NBA's No.3 defensive team (only .4 of a point behind the No.1 team)
Tell me straight up that what we saw was good defense. It was fucking bad, james harden would average 30 in a quarter against these fools
@@markpagtama7954 Not likely since refs in the 80s would call him out for his blatant travelling. You cannot touch a player in today's NBA and it was by design for more offense. Consider this: Donovan Mitchell of the league leading Jazz posted two 50 point games in the 2020 playoffs putting him in the likes of Jordan and Chamberlain. In 2019, Mitchell led Team USA to SEVENTH place, and lost to teams with ZERO NBA players. Why? Because FIBA ball is more physical than today's NBA. Kemba Walker complained about it.
@@markpagtama7954 This is one of the greatest defensive teams of all time, your view is skewed by the fact that this was Jordan at his peak speed. He is 23 years old here and is the fastest he ever was. Derrick Rose at his peak made defenses look like statues.
@@turtleislandlac1490 lol. The greatest defensive era is the early 2000s. 80s players can barely move
@@turtleislandlac1490 lebron would demolish that era. Everyone was a mismatch.
To fans and the media if the Bulls won the series it would've been considered the upset of the century. To Micheal this would simply be the playoffs.
Unforgettable game…
At 2:37, you can see the expression on Celtics guard Dennis Johnson's face while he was tasked to defend Michael Jordan. He was probably thinking: "This is going to be a long night. How in the world could I stop this guy?"
As great a defender Johnson was, Jordan was blowing past him the entire game.
Man....his fundamentals were just perfect. 63 pts and not one of those shots was he really off balanced. No wasted dribbles, or movement, from MJ. Every jumper he is perfectly squared to the rim. No wonder he shot in the 54% range. If he played in this era he would have extended his range. Lebron is bigger and stronger but Jordan was a way better player. I don't think it's close, especially down the stretch of games.
Incredible.
He scored 49 pts in the first game?? Like wtf. Wow. GOAT !!!
I think this was the 63 Pt game, which is still the playoffs record to date
One of micheal Jordan's greatest games.period.sept2020.
Golden era of NBA. Even the music
Greatest Ever
:34 "It's going to be a 5-man game"... lol joke, I'm scoring 63...
Who else agrees with me that Jordan's 63 points against the Celtics is a lot bet than Kobe's 81 points against a weak ass Raptors team
Agree, this was against the greatest team of all time in the playoffs, very competitive game and on the road. Kobe was against the worst team in the league, a meaningless regular season game and in a blowout game.
Unquestionable.
Kobe's was against the worst team in the league and Jordan's was against the best team in the league in the playoffs.
I mean 81 point is still impressive Kobe didn’t have that great of a team either
The raptors played way better defense than this
For all the idiots saying the defense wasn’t that tough and he was getting easy baskets please explain these:
1:00
1:29
1:41
4:15
5:14
5:39
6:00
6:35
6:49
7:02
9:43
10:21
Thank you. MJ makes it "look" easy but I guarantee it is not
Easy 1 on 1s the whole game because of the rules.
The defense wasnt that tough. Bron would bully every player on this team. Kobe Shaq same thing. Look close lol it's just nobody spacing the floor so it's no room in the paint. Still not hella contact tho 😂
Scoob T here is your bully LeBitch 😂 ruclips.net/video/4fSlLdXNzPw/видео.html
@@ryucaro bron would mop the floor with these dudes.
Lebron doesn't even compare
Yeah he does. Lebron is jordan and dominque in one body. Your destiny? To receive the living water. What is that? Ask Jesus. Peace. If you ask for this before bed and hope for a dream you will begin to enter realms and eternal life, heaven itself, God starts to come in dreams.... the bible says it. Numbers 12:6, Amos 3:7, 2 Corinthians 12:1. Just ask for the living water from Jesus at nights key*** hope for it and want a dream from Him to give it to you there... alone. you cant find this in no church.. peace.
Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for
a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water." John 4:10
John 16:24 "ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full."
I seen Jesus a lot. Read the New Testament asking for the living water and hope for it and wait for dreams. Its not long, 200 pages. Before a week or two is up, Jesus comes in dreams, sometimes sooner if you are asking with a lot of faith. But if you just keep doing it, he will come sooner or later, usually sooner.
peace.
JesusgavemeHolySpiri What does Jesus have to do with Lebron? And Lebron does not have ANY of Jordan in him, and Dominique was a TRUE dunker.
***** "What does Jesus have to do with Lebron?", I'm gonna be laughing at that one all day LMAOOOOOO!
TheKingOfRuckus Lmao, I tell you, the crazy things you see on the internet...
JesusgavemeHolySpiri LEBRON IS A COWARD,HE LEAVE EVERYTIME WHEN HE LOST
MJ legend!!!!
The ✌🏻 🐐 on ☝🏻floor!
MJ's highlights are so awesome to watch man, it's so funny seeing a player with modern era levels of speed play in this era, he's simply the second greatest player of all time, no question
10:26...the closest Tommy Heinsohn has come to giving a Boston opponent a Tommy Point.
so hard to do on 2k11
jordan did it with no supporting cast. lebron has bosh and wade. ur watching the most dominating single player ever in the game. jordan took a game over from beginning to end. and when it came playoff time he was unbeatable. i witnessed it live.
lebron led a garbage team to finals, what the fuck do u mean? and Jordan had better supporting cast when he took the rings than Lebron..common Jordan had Pippen and the best rebounder in the nba Rodman, Bosh and Wade are just good players, Lebron leads Miami and he is the best that plays today, like it or not
***** LeBron had one of the best defending (possibly the best, considering what they accomplished with him dragging them down for 40 minutes every night), rebounding, and shooting casts in the NBA from 06-07 to 09-10. He was outperformed multiple times in the postseason that year by Gibson of all people, including the elimination game against Detroit (in which LeBron shot 27%). They nearly beat San Antonio multiple times when LeBron was one of the worst players on the court. The Cavs carried LeBron just as much as he carried them.
cavs? he never won it all on the cavs. wtf does that mean? when did i mention the cavs? i said bosh and wade didnt i? Lebron never won a championship with cleveland. jordan was better. face the facts.
pippen was good not great. lebron had more help with the heat. this is my point.
you are idiot or you are trolling? lebron this year had almost no help than Wade, just shut up you are a lebron hater without a reason face the facts now idiot
Wow the defense was so intense 🤥
legend
JORDAN KEEP FIGHTING,UNLIKE LEBRON PAD STATS IN GARBAGE TIME,NO IMPACT IN THE GAME,THAT'S THE DIFFERENT TWO PLAYERS
oden52dof YEAH FINALLY SOMEONE SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT!
oden52dof YOU DEFINITELY SAID IT RIGHT! JORDAN IS THE GREATEST BASKETBALL PLAYER! NOBODY COULD COME CLOSE!
No saying Bron better Than Jordan but Go watch lebron against Pistons. Your comment so unfair
@@bensex11 No it’s not
Damn that guy Jordan was way to smooth and agile. Goat.
1:39 will always be a thing of beauty
Pretty incredible considering the 86 Celtics are an actual god squad
He was spot on that one man couldn’t beat the Celtics.
Holy shit, the other players all look like old men compared to him. That dunk at the baseline was just insane.
PINGPONGROCKSBRAH no shit lol
PINGPONGROCKSBRAH all he played was unathletic bums that's why
Steph Curry The G.O.A.T that 86 Celtics team is considered by many to be one of the best teams ever. Ok bum?
Renegade Musik it’s because the dude was matched up with centers 1v1. Dude never played a zone so a 1v1 vs someone slower ain’t that hard
So Bulls won the game?
Celtics won this game, why? Because of bad NBA rule at the time. Just a then plain stupid rule. Jordan was fouled on a three point attempt late in game. But guess what? Only got two free throws because that was the stupid NBA rule at the time. Bulls should have won game if Jordan would have had 3 attempts instead of 2 and made all 3. Check it out.
Will Thompson that's true, but he wouldn't have gotten the record if they won so there's that
He should hav made da first one they would hav one
@@imaupts4l393 He did make both of them so what are you talking about?
even so the Celtics would have won the series so it wouldn’t matter anyway
The thing about this people don't understand.
The celtics forced Jordan to make all those points. This is a strategy used by a lot of veteran teams. Of course, no ones seen someone with Michael Jordan's athleticism or stamina either. But the strategy still worked. Even breaking scoring records with God out there lacing up his sneakers couldn't overcome the Celtics' strategy. Its quite astonishing what a group of slow, boring, smelly nerds can accomplish by just using their brain more than the next guy.
Jordan learned a lot here... ended up playing very similar to Larry Bird's style ball in his twilight years for the second 3 peat.
GOAT!
Jordan the best ever!!! Chi Town !!!
I'm 32 and I still want to grow to be like Jordan
Even Jordan was compared to other players, kinda cool how a legacy can be born
Crouse game 2 was on WBBM-TV Channel 2 in 1986
and that's why we celebrate 4/20
I was about 5 minutes into the video and I thought that was the whole highlight for the game. I didn’t realize it was only the second quarter. That’s how many highlights are in this video
Mike was paid off the coldest player ever!! The really need to change the NBA logo to Jordan.
@10:26 that record still holds up to this day!
The Bulls would have won in regulation if they gave him three free throws. I wonder why you didn't get three free throws for fouls on three-point shots in those days.
Whose here after watching last dance👀
He also had 2 blocks!
I like how they call something “long-range” when it’s still a 2-pointer.
If a comment contains Le'Bron's name in the same sentence as Jordan's name, it loses all credibility. There is absolutely no comparing these two players to one another. Jordan will always be the best all around player the NBA has ever seen. Period!!!
WHY THAT SHOT IS SO MEMORABLE AT 1:41
🐐🐐🐐
