- Опубликовано: 16 окт 2024
- Ron Harper takes on the Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan in the season opener without the help of injured Brad Daugherty, Mark Price, Larry Nance and Chris Dudley. Even Harper himself is playing on a hyperextended knee. His boxscore-stuffing statline helps the Cavaliers to get to an overtime before falling a bit short due to Jordan's 54 points. November 3, 1989.
People just don't understand. This dude was the complete TRUTH before those damn injuries. He brilliantly reinvented himself then carved out a very respectable career. But damn, he had serious game. Hats off to Ron.
its called fundamentals.players today can't do that because they are athletes
What injuries did Harper get?
@@ChescoYT hyperextended knee and torn ACL
@@ChescoYT knee
Ron Harper was given Jordan the business. Underrated player with injuries.
I couldnt agree more!
I agree!
NO SLIGHT ON MJ
THAT WAS THE LEAGUE THAT
LE BRON NUTHUGGERS TRY AND DISCREDIT
PLUMBERS MY ASS
This is one of the reasons those 96-98 Bulls were so tough. Harper wasn't the offensive player he was by that time because of knee injuries but he was a hell of a defensive player. The Bulls had 4 great defenders in their starting lineup, MJ, Pip, Harp and Rodman. That's what made them so tough, one of the greatest defensive teams ever in NBA history.
longley and toni gave them length too...
Plus veteran centers during the years....Edwards, Parish Kleine
Don't forget Randy Brown
@@razkable And also Steve Kerr ,one of the best 3point shooters
ITS CALLED THEY ALL HAD FUNDAMENTALS
BELIEVE IT OR NOT THEM WHITE BOYS CENTERS BACK THEN
WOULD DESTROY THE NBA TODAY. I DONT WANN HERE ABOUT A 3 POINT LEAGUE BS
Nice. Some people don't even know how good and how aesthetically pleasing Ron Harper's game was before injuries slowed him down some. Those injuries hindered some of his potential but he still managed plenty of good seasons and a good overall career.
Agree, if wasn't for Ron's injuries, he would have gave MJ a run for his money.
+Hei C No but he would've made a great scoring sidekick for Michael. He was a better offensive player than Scottie.
Derrick Rose suffers the same fate as Ron Harper. Injuries slowed them down.
BasketballJones48021 II always thought he was as good or better than Jordan before he got injured job
Jon Bray You thought wrong.
Harper was a hell of a two way player and a star in his own right but he was never as good or better than Jordan.
If Harper never got injured he would have been 1 st ballot hall of fame
This is why CHICAGO wanted mr. Harper
And Kerr!
Prime Ron Harper was such a two-way machine.
First time I saw harp play I was 10 and his Miami of Ohio team came to Richmond, Kentucky to play Eastern Kentucky University. I remember my dad saying watch Harper he’s supposed to be really good. After that he was my favorite player and followed him religiously throughout his career. I remember grabbing #4 jersey in middle school and thought it was the coolest thing ever. Harp!!!!!
Watched that game against Maryland where he leaped over Bias for an And 1 dunk in the clutch.
"Gotta get those two guys on my team.... Nobody could beat us." :Michael Jordan
I remember Ron Harper in his caviler days. He used to give the bulls fits.
No he didn't. Had some nice games like this one, but Jordan outplayed him every game - including this one.😂

@@mackgreen No Jordan did not!. These were the Ball hoggin Jordan days. If Harper had the green light Jordan did, he would've gotten similar numbers.
@@JJDPROMEDIAPRODUCTION You're clearly in tRumpian supporter like denial. I laid out all of the games, probably viewed 90% of them and Jordan waxed Harper regularly. It really wasn't close.
@@mackgreen I see, you're a Millinial..I get it..
Ron was the only one that could play Jordan straight up. so give the boy some credit he wasn't afraid of Jordan. Ron held his own with Jordan. mike still the goat.
Jesse Forte Harper was as close to MJ as anybody who's ever played in the league.Very similiar games...ans he played D too.
Penny Hardaway did a pretty good job also.
MJ... OOTGOAT. He's on the NBA Mt. Rushmore, but there's a few above him yet.
@Adrian Flores Also Drexler,Dumars,Moncrief, Dennis Johnson,Blackman,Mullin, Miller,Grant Hill,Penny Hradaway,Alvin Robertson....so many great guards.
Yep, Jordan said Ron Harper was the toughest guy in the league for him to play against "Because I had to use a lot of energy on defense against Harper
Jordan hated going against Harper, lmao. Ohio ballers all day.
I hated it more.
Lmao!
🤦🏾♂️🤔😂😂😂😂🤣🤪
The Last Dance brought me here. Ron Harper was giving Jordan the business. I'm a Bulls Fan and I admit Ron Harper had game.
I was at this game rooting for the Cavaliers - He refused to let them lose and almost beat them himself
And years later Kerr and Harper would be on all three Bulls teams during their 2nd 3-peat lol
I started to watch NBA since Jordan’s baseball break. First knew Harper when he played with the bulls. Now learnt how good he was. He could be a star himself but willing to do all low profile works. Not easy to make the choice for a man. Thumbs’ up for him.
Sweet game, before the injuries. On the Bulls, he was the perfect complement to MJ and Scottie, esp on defense. Those three were all 6'6 and above, allowing for defensive rotations without compromise.
Whoa The Cavs had two future Bulls in their starting 5 in this game.
I put it this way if Ron didn't have his I injuries, the outcome would have been different, no doubt.
Jordan always had high regards for Ronny Harper. I remember the old guy in cleveland once told me Harper was Jordan-ish. We could see that here. It was too bad he had those injuries at the time when an ACL tear was almost a career ending; same with football at the time.
Ron Harper, Steve Kerr, and Michael Jordan all on the court at the same time. And they’re not in the same team.
Wouldve loved to keep all these 80s Cavs together. Harper, Kerr, Price, Ehlo, Nance, Daugherty, would've been sweet.
That was definitely a team
Kerr was a nobody. They had John "Hot Rod" Williams, who was a very good power forward.
Hot Rod
Wow. Those old Cavs are slept on.
Ron Harper would have been in the hall of fame if that knee injury never happen
P.S.
Ron Harper is a Hall of Famer or the Basketball Hall Of Fame should close down.
Truely a top notch player before the knee injuries.
2K, We need this ron Harper in myteam
RayDill 6061 YESSS.
Damn ron harper 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wow two future Bulls Kerr and Harper staring in Chicago stadium rare game for sure.
Ron Harper was so nasty prior to his knee reconstruction, he and Mike had more than 1 great dual. Mike respected his game so much, that he had a friendship with him that lasts to this day. That wasn't normal for Mike. That's how badd Ron Harper was!
The problem was that Ron's legs were to skinny! If he had stronger body he could have become a HoF in my opinion!
@@vdLeo-je6os That's not a rational statement. Go look at Reggie Miller. Or T-Mac. Or Kevin Garnett. The ACL injury really robbed him of that athleticism.
Wow. Great clip to see a young Harper and Kerr. The Cavs were good in those years.
And then he was traded a few days later for one of the biggest busts ever-- Danny Ferry.
This is a Ron Harper reel that gets blno love in video
steve kerr starting days
... with that MOP on his head ... a little bit of jealousy there.
Early in his career, Harper was called, "The Poor Mans" Michael Jordan.
Nice connent but why poor mans?
Cant believe he got traded for Danny Ferry a few games later 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Cavaliers fan I'll never forget that. Worst NBA trade in history
I'll bet cleveland management still regreting the trade that sent ron harper for danny ferry.. imagine in early 90s cavs would had harper guarding jordan better than craig ehlo, plus harper could scores 20+ ppg..
I'm told the reason was not basketball related why GM Wayne Embry dealt Harper. It was gift to the Central Division when Haper went out west..That's for sure.
@@JJDPROMEDIAPRODUCTION you made no sense
It was personal between the GM (Wayne Embry) and Harper.
@Tala Okoye Thanks Captain Obvious we got netflix too. I was speaking about this dude sort of enticing us that the reason harper was dealt was "personal". I thought he'll spill what he knew. Then he said something about harp being traded was a "gift to the central division". Like WTF dude, you didnt even say what that "personal" thing was.
@Tala Okoye Oh ok. You just spew out obvious things out of the blue that millions already know after watching "The Last Dance" Sorry my bad.
cavs should have never traded harper! wtf were they thinking?
They were thinking Danny Ferry would be the next Larry Bird, but the evidence was lacking.
Embry had an ill-advised notion that Harper was a risk due to outside influences, and overreacted. They were shaping up to be a true threat to the Bulls and the trade negated that.
Only outdone by the Bulls breaking up the MJ/Pippen Bulls.
Cavs were dumb as hell breaking up that team.
He was hitting the owners daughter.
@@hypokritis Really?
I think this is the game Steve Kerr was referring to during his Jordan story on Open Court.
96-2001 Ron Was Draggin that bad knee
harper was the closest player to MJ besides kobe RIP
Wow dude was going off. It's hard to remember young Harper cuz of the so noted Bulls dynasty.
Like holy crap tho 89 bulls gotta limit that transition and long outlet pass once before the last play lol.
Never know Harper was a teammate of Steve Kerr back in the day!
Why would Cleveland trade this man? Was he a bad teammate? Did he seek a trade? I can't think of a sound reason why they would send this guy away nearly a couple weeks after this game and this performance. He was literally one of the few players that could hold his own against young, prime MJ on BOTH sides of the court.
It was do to alleged gang activities back then..
@@jaysonadams4962You’re probably not too far off, but I read that it was due to Harper being friends with certain drug dealers in the area that were under investigation or had already been indicted. The owner basically demanded for Harper to be traded because of this issue. Lenny Wilkens tried to talk him out of it but the owner gave the order to get him out of there. One of the most underrated bad trades maybe in NBA history smh
Jordan said Harper was the toughest player for him to play against
He was cooking Mike
$JayBravo$ Yup.
He was. Only problem was MJ was cooking him more. Jordan had 54 in this game lol
Facts but he was cooking Mike
Truth
Too bad the bulls won
Harper was ballin.
The serious injury that he had, is that an ACL? Like Derrick Rose and Kobe...
Jordan thinkin i could make something happen if we get harper and kerr
Im trying to find the dunk Harper had over Dr J. Dr J said thats when he knew it was time for him to retire.
Crazy watching mj getting a abused yet people say LeBron wouldn't have a chance does anyone think he Harper is a better player than Bron even tho Harper was no joke dude was a baller
Jordan didnt get abused by a 5'10 player in the finals
This is why I laugh when they say the warriors would have rand threw the bulls but people really forget about Harper and how good his offense and defense was. He would have gave steph a run for his money
Hold up hold up....hold the hell up did i see mike on :20 do the euro back in 90🤔
Kerr and Harper vs their future teammates
Jordan on Jordan. 🤷🏽♂️
well said!
I wonder if Phil nd MJ remembered this game ( Harper nd Kerr) would join the bulls a season later ...
what this was almost decade earlier lol
They not only remembered this game, but many, many other games where Harp gave MJ and the Bulls everything they could handle! He wasn't half the guy he was during this game when he started playing for the Bulls, but his bball savvy and determination helped the Bulls 3peat again.
THAT YOUNG HEALTHY RON HARPER USE TO GIVE MJ AND THE BULLS THE BUSINESS!!
His post game diminished Jordan.

Overlooks that Jordan dropped 54 on him!
Overlooks that Ron Harper was playing a hyperextended knee injury and later tore his ACL and the Cleveland Cavs don't have all stars Mark Price, Brad Daughtery & Larry Nance lol😂😂😂 Mainstream Media creates fans who only see one side of the story especially since the media only marketed and over marketed Jordan😂😂😂
You must be another one of those Ohio homers. I provided the scoring numbers for all of their games played before they were teammates show me where he gave Chicago fits. Harper was good but he was no Jordan. Don't give me no lame excuses about his knee being injured.
@@mackgreen It says in the description box that he was playing with a hyperextended knee lol. Readers are leaders lol. I admit tho Jordan and David Stern was a great team. Pure scripted entertainment at it's finest.
@@realmusicentertainmentcompany That was that particular game. Harper didn't always have an injured knee against the Bulls and as the scoring comparison I provided in another response, Jordan regularly washed Harper.

guys dont fight like this on defense anymore man
Ron... Do some pike pushups to roll push ups... Do some dip bar walk and turns... Do some walk on hands... Reverse planks... Like your driving and parking... Do some jumps... using a pole... to get height... Do some practice kicks using a pool ball... Leg in then kick... Jumping... 1 v 1... Do some euro steps and spins and double spins around the corners of the house... Turn the basket... All corner shot... Use the board... Keep it low... 3 moves... Behind the back... Back thru the legs... 1... 2... Cross... 1 v 1... Trick shots... Step back in a corner... Go back up from corner...
You could hear the entire city of Chicago groan whenever Ron Haper came to town. Ron Harper gave MJ all he could handle.
If Ron Harper didn't get injured, the Bulls don't make it out of the East 6 times.
Dumbest thing the Cavs did was break up that team. I was happy they did, but it was dumb as hell.
Breakaway foul on Cartwright????????
The Cavaliers' relevance ended the day they traded this man. Worst trade in NBA history.
poor man's Michael Jordan
E. 126th/Kinsman! John Adam's High School! Still remember when they traded Harp for danny ferry...SMDH!!!
105 and St clairin the house
mj got owned by ron harper
Uh, 36 points is awesome, until you compare it to 54 and the win.
+satatay23 That's because Ehlo was guarding him
He forgot that he just watched a video that only showed Harper makes vs Jordan misses.
Sloan Jackson They won only because Price, Nance, and Daugherty missed game 1 of the series in that 1989 playoff series. And as for the 88 playoff series the Bulls had help from the referees.
Domini478 It's the truth. Those three players missed the first game of that of that series. And after the trade of Harper the next season, they were never able to stop Jordan.
For some dumb reason they thought Craig Ehlo could guard him but we Cavs fans knew better. Hell, He did most of his damage to the Cavs when Ehlo was guarding him.
similar to kobe vs iggy, (physique wise)
I would take MJ, this version of Ron harper, pip, Dennis Rodman and luc Longley vs joker, draymond, LeBron, klay and steph. Give me mike in 7.
Before the injuries, Ron would give Jordan that work...
Lies. I provided their head to head matchups, pre and post injury, in the comments. Not too much work being given when you actually look at it objectively. Ron was very good, but the blatant denialism shows you folks Jordan hate. Probably because he waxed your teams.
gs FANS AKA SOMECALL FANS said they better then the 72 and 10 bulls AND WOULD BE EM when this guy PLAYED a MAJOR ROLL ON THAT TEAM
i ment BET EM

@@chichosantana1622 Except harper has 5 rings and Rose has none
wait, 89? but there is bj armstrong
Damn Harper was giving MJ the business
@Hasse Jr: Jordan gave him 54pts so who really got the business?
Better than DWade
I bet mj had fiddy
hammertime fiddy fo to be eggsact
This shows the world that Jordan was far from great he was on the same lvl as any other player but you put all these good players together you will always win not saying Jordan was a bum but he wouldnt have one these rings with out these guys he hand pick these players kerr too kerr was balling too look at the high lights look at pippen highlight when Jordan left the NBA he was avg 30+ so put Jordan there that 65+ together that's just them 2 players why you think Kobe pick up haper
Kerr and harper were not on the bulls team in their first threepeat
Consider THIS: Ron Harper was their third scoring option.
He was a superior athlete and player than MJ.
Just unfortunate injuries.
you can't be serious? lol you do know that MJ had 54 points that game right? lol
Harper was very good but he was no Jordan.
This proves the Jordan bulls were stacked. Harper, Rodman, pippen with kukoc off the bench. Both the east and west were weak. That is why Jordan isn’t the goat.
Erase this comment pls...its very ignorant...penny and shaq orlando magic and ewing, sprewell, johnson, houston and starks new york knicks are all weak??? Even 1998 lakers with 4 allstars, like shaq, kobe, van exel and jones are weak??? If those teams are weak then what do u call with that 2011 mavericks that beat lebron superteam??? That team is the oldest team to win championship and they had many midget players
Lol you’re stupid.
1) The lakers never faced bulls in the finals. Kobe wasn’t good enough yet and they got swept by the UTAH
2. Penny and Shaq is 2 players. I give you 3D is a nice role player.
3. Sprewell was in golden state until Jordan retired. That tells me you weren’t actually watching much 90s basketball 🤦🏻♂️
4). The Knicks were 1 main star. Johnson isn’t a scorer. Alan Houston was good but he doesn’t compare to Scottie, Rodman, Kukoc, and Harper as the next 4 best players.
5. Lebron made it to the finals against the Mavs which was the same team that swept Kobe championship Lakers. They were pretty good and were able to play zone defense. Somthing Jordan took advantage of as he didn’t play against zone defense.
@@shiningkingpretty much which team they ever faced in the finals or playoffs from 95-98 can match up with their 5 best players in Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Kukoc, and Harper. You won’t be able to name one and it’s not even close.
This is what Harper did in his previous season. So it makes sense why the bulls were very good at defense. Harper was the 5th best player for the bulls so he can just focus playing defense with his 6’5” frame.
“In 1993-94, his fourth full season with the Clippers and eighth in the NBA, he played and started in 75 games, averaging 20.1 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 4.6 assists and 1.9 steals.[10] On March 11, 1994, he tallied a triple-double with 26 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists along with six steals in a win over the Dallas Mavericks. Two nights later, he came within one assist of duplicating the feat, with 39 points, 11 rebounds, nine assists plus another six steals in a win over the Golden State Warriors.[18]”
The guy can steal the ball 6 times while scoring a 40 point triple double. A 40 point game in that era is harder because the 90s was the slowest pace and lowest scoring era.
Them old school highlight tapes was weak as hell 😂😂 no real flashiness 😂 just set shots, a pass to a layup
@J.B Cooper mid??? 😂😂 you sound dumb that’s what the game is made of now that’s what sell tickets what makes the people tune in. They use to go crazy off a 1 hand tomahawk back in the day imagine how’d they react to James Harden step back making a nigga touch the earth….
