Chris Mullin (38pts) vs. Michael Jordan (40pts) (1991)

- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- Despite Jordan's best efforts to get a W in this one, you just can't win if you keep giving Chris Mullin opportunities to shoot, even if you're the early 90's Chicago Bulls playing at home. Chris Mullin leads his Warriors by scoring 38 points, while Michael counters with 40 (on 17/22 shooting!!!) and some highlight worthy moves. The version that is around on the internet of this game has the first eight minutes missing, so we don't see six of Chris's points and I suppose about the same amount of Jordan's. November 5, 1991.

Mullin was so smooth he scored so easy to the point where you wouldn't know he dropped 30 or 40 without checking the stat sheet
+Sylvel Lewis Bit of a left handed Gervin.
Real quiet 25+ points Mullin.
Mullin was on the dream team nuff said
Tonejack Boss Talk 💪🏽!! Undefeated and blowing people out by 30. I'm Wisconsin Lonnie and I approve this message ™
I don't understand how people think you would need to be athletic to score in the modern era. This is a clinic of Mullin using his defenders' (scottie and jordan) elite athleticism against them.
Exactly. It is like thinking J.R Smith is a better basketball player than John Stockton, because he is more athletic.
There were 3 teams my dad and I would watch in the early 90s. The Bulls (because of MJ), the Spurs David (my dad was in the navy and he loved David Robinson), and the Warriors (our hometown team). Its games like this that remind me of the great times!
Chris Mullen was not forgotten in his day, as he was included on 1992 Dream Team, the greatest team ever assembled.
4:35 Love that shit. Even the Bulls players on the bench gave Mullins his props for that move and shot.
In 5-10 years (if it hasn't happened already) you're going to have ignorant jackasses saying "Chris Mullin would just be a Kyle Korver/Mike Dunleavy catch-and-shoot role player today." Good thing there is video like this to show him carving up a great defensive team in an extremely physical era.
Trent Diamanti No doubt. Jordan has been retired a relatively short time and already some fools say he couldn't play with Lebron, Kobe, Durant. A few even questioned his athleticism, which is beyond absurd. Very short memories.
+Trent Diamanti And u will also have dumb asses to say he is not the best left handed players and will try to argue that James harden will be better
lol
+qwertyuiopASDFGHJ885 Hahaha! Hilarious!
Mullin is easily a star in todays league with all this spacing and guard oriented play
Mullen had the speed of a glacier and could jump like a Dachshund... But he was unstoppable!
Lol word!
All about that shooting and being a smart player ! I liked his way of ballin
Low key is a better demarcous
@Rap Lawyer I agreed, He played very intelligent & fundamentally sound sorta like Larry Bird.
Also the worst buzz cut of all time! & he’s still rocking it today.... now THATS commitment to a haircut.
Chris Mullin was a top-class player with class-act character.
+SuperGamer87 I say to some of these young bandwagon fans today:
If you're a Warriors fan who doesn't know Chris Mullin, then you're just no Warriors fan.
That Bay Area has long had a loyal fan base, even before Curry and his excellent team right now, and it's thanks to players like Chris Mullin who gave that franchise class and dignity.
+SuperGamer87 Those of us who watched through the hard years just enjoy this current run even more.
I was stationed in Alameda during RUN TMC. My supervisor had Warrior season tickets and gave me a few games. Chris Mullin was an assassin.
He was an alcoholic
Mullin was deadly.
4:55 I had to double comment. Mullin is such a class act. He was actually trying to catch Jordan to help break his fall.
Why Chris Mullin dont get His Respect ? One of the Top Shooters of the NBA ever Played !
He was. Solid overall player, too. Guys like Dantley and Vandeweghe, primarily just scored, but Mullin was a fine passer, decent defender, ok rebounder.
Rowdy Rell shut up soft boy
Rowdy Rell GS must retire the 17 Jersey paying respect for this MYTH!
Rowdy Rell
Well, he certainly was. His prime was also over by the time he was only around 30. Had some nagging injuries and was decent, but certainly not the go-to main man he was earlier.
The answer is obvious, he's white.
All time No.1 Shooter with left hand = C.mullin
He was beautiful and amazing
That 90-91 Warriors team was a beast one and stacked with HOF jump shooters! Hardaway, Richmond and Mullin make my mouth drool :D
Reminds me of an another Warriors team with names like Curry and Thompson in it! :D
Zamppa86 2016 warriors >>> 90's warriors
RUN TMC
In 94, they had C-Webb, Spree, Timmy, and Mullin
Mitch avg 3o for Sacramento
How did warriors ruin tmc is beyond on me almost as bad as their use of high draft picks
Chris Mullin might be the single most underrated player in NBA history.
Probably Moses Malone. But Mullin is up there.
@@raveouscarlias4479Moses Malone in his prime, like 1983, was simply GREAT!
No one is more underrated than Tom Chambers...
And people say Jordan played against plumbers during his era, and the talent level back then wasn't as good as it is today. Chris Mullen was a beast.
jj redik couldn't hold Mullins' jock
Chris Mullin had a fucking jumper out of this world. Most underrated player ever.
Chris Mullin one of my favorite players of the 90s multiple all star games,Dream Team Member etc very underrated player of his era
Man I miss Jordan. If I could go back to the 90s and had access to every game like we do today, I'd watch every Bulls game.
Man, Mullin gave Pippen the business that night.
whiteflash1323 Mullin was fukin awesome for about a 5-6 stretch
he'd be the 2nd best shooter today
whiteflash1323 one night come ob dude
whiteflash1323 Pippen hated guarding Mullin because he was so good moving off the ball. Scottie said Mullin knew just the right time to cut to the basket, killed him on those cuts.
+Dkouts57 Who would be better today? Mullin shot 51% for his career. Currry is shooting 47% career.
200mphz06 Curry is the best shooter
EVER!
Mullin shot 51%
but 16% of his FGA were 3pt shots
he shot 38.4% from 3pt
that is pretty damn good from a guy who had 5 elite years of scoring big PTS (25+)
But Curry is unbelievable
forget the eye test that he does it catch and shoot
AND off the dribble better than anyone EVER
with the BEST range ever
Curry is shooting 47% career
when 42.2% of his shots are 3pt shots
THAT IS ABSURD
he shoots 44.1% CAREER from 3pt range
THATS IS OUT OF THIS WORLD
for a guy who is the primary play maker of an offense
this isn't Steve Kerr getting open looks off Jordan doubles
Nor a guy coming off 2 -3 screens to free up for jumpers like other greats, Miller, Pretovic, Allen, Mullin
this is a whole other level
and NO ONE in history has reached the levels Curry has
in my opinion
another 3-4 years at his current level
25ppg -8ast-2stls
( and he plays great D, you just dont notice it because the offense overshadows it)/
43% from 3pt
with 270 3pt shots made!!!
will DOUBLE 3pt records for season leading the league and consecutive seasons
Will have the top 5 seasons with 3pt shots made in a season ALL TO HIMSELF
90% FT
MVP candidate
may win another won
Team will compete for a ring
may win another one
when its all done
you will be looking at a resume in MY OPINION that will say
2nd best PG EVER!
surpasses Isiah to me
Notice Mullin always set himself up for the 15-20 foot jumper rather than go backwards for the 3, which he still would have been wide open for.
That mid-range jumper was a high percentage shot. Just cash money when he created/found space for it. It is a lost art these days.
prime mullin was another great guard-forward mj play against...mullin before injuries was unbeleivable...he score 38 vs prime pippen,one of the best defenders ever!
Chris Mullin was like if Luka Doncic is an off-the-ball player. Slow but super crafty. Both have super high bball IQ.
I'd much rather watch Mullin than Jordan, but that's just me. Mullin certainly wasn't a world class athlete and that's the real beauty of it!
always wished the Knicks bought Mullin home at the end of his career...if only for just 1 season. NYC is a pro sports town where they rarely ever pay attention to college ball in any sport. The one and only time that changed in my lifetime was during Mullin's run at St. Johns when the Big East was king. He turned this city on its ear and they loved him.
What a team (mid 80s Redmen). Mullin, Bill Wennington, Walter Berry, Mark Jackson, Willie Glass, etc. The only time I ever payed attentin to college ball... which was cool b/c it got me extra hyped about SJU nemesis Patrick Ewing.
Miss those days. St. Johns obviously my favorite but the entire Big East was amazing.
Mullin could've had 55 if he would take a 3 lol
Don Nelson pictured at the end. He was a coach who was ahead of his time.
Loved learning much later on how much MJ respected Mullin.
They were two time Olympic champions together as well.
Oh my goodness, just 0:11 into the video and we get to see Bill Cartwright's ugly freethrow form already. Lmao.
He shooting freethrows in the NBA. You shooting freethrows in your dreams
What that's a beautiful stroke lol
It ain't pretty, but he was 77% career from the line.
Maybe Shaq and Wilt should have tried the straight-arm approach.
Chris Mullin is underrated. The point is that he was not a kind of player who shows power and agressiviness like the Dream Team teammates; who dunks like, for exemple, Scottie Pippen, a player of the same position. He was one of the best shooters ever.
Mario elie, vincent askew, tyrone hill, Sharunas... fond memories. Mullin was the shooter on the dream team... second to Bird. Chris was that good. Rod Higgins and MJ were really good friends too.
GREAT upload, love watching old school MJ games, and seeing Mully in his prime brought a smile to my face :)
mullin my favorite basketball player all time
DJ Anthony My 2nd Fav after Larry Bird!
Mullin would be amazing today with the 3 pointer being more emphasized and it being a more half court game so his passing would shine. Imagine a prime Manu Ginobli but just better at everything.
David Huang Mullin would be big time in today's game, no question. He is a super underrated player that I like watching. But there is no way he would be better at everything than prime Manu Ginobili, sorry. He never was.
+David Huang That's a good comparison, but I would argue that Manu was/is a bit more athletic and a better driver to the basket, while Mullin was a better shooter.
+Trent Diamanti I agree with you about what Manu was better than Mullin but Mullin was more than a better shooter then Manu. He was a better passer and had greator court awareness.
+Trent Diamanti nah i think manu is better defensive and has more killer instinct
+David Huang Well, Manu was a superior athlete at any time in his career. But Mullin was a decent athlete and terrific player. Different styles.
One of the few times we've seen someone come close to matching a prime Jordan point for point in a game. I got to admit I've slept on Mullins.
Athleticism is a great tool to have in your bag. But the great thing about basketball is if you master the fundamentals (and are in shape) you can compete and succeed against the high flyers regardless.
Peak Mullin was the epitome of this.
Peak MJ was the epitome of both.
Mullin,awesome shooter!
Definitely Mullin was my favorite player. His way of shooting was my goal actually.
Qué jugadorazo era Mullin!! No por nada fue Dream Team. Me encantaba su estilo.
Christ, Mullin had a sweet jumper.
I just love how so many people are using the comment section to hate on Jordan and Pippen who were champions.
Bill Cartwright's freethrow form is majestic.
He had a funky shot
On this night back in 1991 the Golden State Warriors may have beaten the Chicago Bulls at Chicago Stadium, but what you have to realize is Michael Jordan won the one on one battle, Michael Jordan got 40 points and Chris Mullin only got 38 points. In Basketball it's what you accomplish one on one that counts.
Cos of this game and what Mullins did to the Lakers in the playoffs is a big reason why Jordan & magic picked him for Barcelona
Growing up on the east coast I didn't get to see Mullin play that much. But man was he fun to watch whenever I was up late enough to see the late game on TNT. We were mainly exposed to MJ, Larry, Chuck, Ewing and Dominique which definitely wasn't a bad thing. But it would've been that much better had we got to see Run TMC, Clyde the Glide, and especially the Lake Show as much as the east teams.
Now I live on the west coast and even though I can see most of the games now, basketball just hasn't been nearly as fun as in the 90's. But at least the Nuggets are making the league fun to watch again.
Mullin = G.O.A.T.
That GSW team had prime Chris Mullin, prime Tim Hardaway, prime Mitch Ritchmond, prime Sarunas Marculionis! Man oh man, you could take that team, bring it in todays' pace and space game, and they'd need zero days of adaptation to lit motherfuckers up.
Mullin wit the perfect swishes. It makes a consistent sound every time
Killed with run tmc on 2k12. Thanks 4 posting pimp!
I'm not a Warriors fan, but I agree. That trade made the Golden State Warriors a joke of the National Basketball Association, as well as letting C-Webb go, J-Rich go and many others.
Either one of these teams would win at least 70 games in today's league.
Love the old school guys in this video like Sarûnas Marciulonis and Vincent Askew!!
pip and jordan hated guarding Sarunas!
People also tend to forget that the Larry Bird's, Chris Mullin's, and Jerry West's of yesteryear would slow as hell, non-athletic, and weak even back then and they still dominated the court. People like Kyle Korver, Dunleavy, name any white guy people have a problem with, etc. are not in the same boat since they don't command a scorer's mentality like team's require in one or two people.
what a great shot style mullin had. art.
Oh chris mullin... he of the shocking haircut, beautiful jumper, bird like basketball IQ, & rocked the euro step waaay before it was recognised... partly coz of his pace, I know, but he was brilliant.
Oh & why did bill cartwright ever attempt fade away shots from any distance?.. that airball was embarrassing.
You know what respect is when the greatest of all time doesn't even look to check if Mullin's shot went in and just manages to go back to his offensive court as soon as Mullin starts his jumpshot at 0:04.
I never put any credibility into statements like, "Players back then couldn't do it today since everyone is faster, bigger, stronger..." or "If you put players today back then they would dominate". That's like pitting our armed forces against army of 6,000 years ago. It's a dumb argument. For instance, if people nowadays were put back in time, they would have the same body structures as people of yesteryear. Lebron James would not be 6'8" 265 lbs 20 years ago. Michael Jordan would not be 6'6" 215 lbs today. Who knows what players of yesteryear would be like today? Chamberlain was a beast, but what if he grew up with today's nutrition and had today's fitness and weight training routines? My Lord, it'd be devastating. Likewise, would Shaq have been 7'2 300+ lbs 50 years ago alongside Russell? That's a joke if you think that. So the argument that players ranging across different eras would be dominated by other eras is a very weak and ignorant one.
That's a Great point man 👍🏻
People are laughable. Training regimens and nutrition? Do you really think the 90's was the Flintstones era? They had both great nutrition and training regimens but players did not have to individually follow them as it was not the team's job just as it really isn't in today's NBA. The major differences between then and today other than today's greater focus on weight training, are the rule changes and the foul interpretations of today. Today's game has so much more spacing as you can't stand in the middle on defense - in conjunction with the elimination of hand checking and physical defense, it's become an open court game. Teams now have more options in terms of drafting as you can fill up teams with smaller, interchangeable guards. It's the game that's different, not the players.
Your ignorant cause there will never be another Michael Jordan, Bo Jackson Mike Tyson, Barry Sanders, Randy Moss oh and ETC. Your a millenial that dont know talent and natural born athletes with abilities not all of us have your one of those jealous punks cause you didnt live in the great era
The Bulls were a great defensive team but they lose Mullin over and over somehow. He's one speed slow, yet oddly seems just a bit ahead. A pure lefty and always deceptive for some reason. Unnaturally deft and executes under pressure in traffic. Absolutely automatic if left free. Jordan was his spectacular self but this was not his night.
+Will Walsh Was not his night? Look at 3:18 again. Maybe the Bulls didn't play good enough that night, or the Warriors were really loaded or both. But to say someone has a "bad night" when he scores 40 points is a bit of a stretch, isn't it? It's not only his fault that they lost the game.
jazztom86 I guess he meant defensively
Just meant that his team lost. If the kids I coach look great and lose to a less talented team I don't like it when they are happy with themselves, much less suggest it was their teammates fault or that there was nothing else they could do. I'd want to bench a kid who did that after scoring 40. I'll guarantee Michael wasn't happy about this home loss, so that's two of us.
In the next game they played that season, the Bulls beat the Warriors. You can't win every game. It seems like you are low key trying to hate on Jordan for some reason.
Why don't you mention some of the losses that the Warriors had that season? Have you forgotten that in this season, the Bulls defeated the Trailblazers for the championship? Remember this same year, the Bulls beat the Warriors 112-108 in Oakland. Jordan hater and I am sure you are a non-black person.
Sigh . . . watching Billy Owens get picked makes me realize I'm still mad at Nelson for trading Mitch Richmond to get him.
So short-sighted. I'm still not quite over them giving up on Run TMC after just two years.
Nice edit of this game. The version already on youtube didn't show Jordan's crazy block attempt/foul, Mullin's great pass at 5:48,and a couple of other plays.
solid editing on this my man
Two greats playing great!
Damn, never knew Mullins game was that clean
The game that secured Mullins spot in the Dream Team
He led the Dream Team in scoring in at least one of their games.
That Golden State team was fun to watch, explosive offense
Golden state warriors were just as good as Chicago, but they've never gone to the NBA finals. That's puzzling.
Defense, perhaps? Or lack of.
+Thu Nguyen They are quite ahead of the time. Playing triangle small ball game with their vaunted TMC, spreading the floor, etc. Unfortunately they are unable to backing in up with their defense (no capable big guys). Plus, the TMC were broke up too soon.
Remember, they are playing in the era where big guys reign supreme inside the paint, not outside the paint, like today games. Also, isolation play is the name of the game
No D
You see the respect from MJ on the very first play. He just goes off to play the next offense.
People will say no one can stop Michael Jordan but in this game Bulls couldn't stop Chris Mullin either!
3:20....MJ is the best ....
@4:31 watch that move on Pippen and the Bulls bench goes nuts. He was better than Jordan here
Chris should've had his last named changed to "Money" because his shot was nothing but bank!
3:50... Tim tries to do the UTEP two-step against MJ... MJ was an unwilling partner to his dance... denied! LOL!
Against the Bulls in their homecourt, against Pippen with help help defense and he still scored 38 pts and win.
4:54 is one of the funniest Jordan plays ever he really wanted to smack the shit out of Mullins shot
Mullins is proof that u don't have to be fast, u just have to change speeds and get the defense reacting to u. But On defense it does help to be quick.
@5:59 so simple. Great move.
I still don't get Chris Mullin, he was so slow yet he gets in there and get the shots in. It's crazy, it's like he going to get blocked but he doesn't.
well look at duncan pretty much the same but he was a power foward and he dominated for a while
Mullin was the first curry
"I still don't get Chris Mullin, he was so slow yet he gets in there and get the shots in" ... Eye fakes, head fakes, arm fakes, leg fakes, use the defender's teammates as picks ... plus a solid "no elbow swing" jumper ... it all adds up to un-guardable.
he hesitates in the air and changes hands..hes smart even tho he slow
Watching Tim Hardaway drain that contested three was euphoric.
What a contrast between the beautiful sweet jumper of Mullins vs Ugly Rainbow brick by Cartwright.
Jeez, this play-by-play announcer makes me appreciate legends like Chick Hearn all the more. Here's this guy's idea of describing a play: "Michael." Here's another example of one of his calls: "Michael." Let's round this out with another typical call from him: "Michael."
Growing up I Queens he was my favorite whiteboy on the court.
4:32 The bench reaction says it all. 🤣
I miss the 90s...
3:18 SWEET move
Great era.
It's Mullin... there is no "S" in his last name
Prime Mullin was a beast
Jordan could guard Lebron. Lebron couldn't guard Jordan. Jordan could score, and play defense. If Lebron focused on Defense, he wouldn't be scoring. Debate over.
deceptively slow, good call from the commentator, i had never looked at mullin like this b4, but it makes sense
Were these announcers Chicago based cus it seemed like it?
Nothing like 90s basketball
Just wish the entire game was shown!!
This GoldenState team in the 90's with Mullin Hardaway Hill etc was a good team but not a championship team. Any night they could beat any team though.
Sprewell too
Mitch richmond can't forget that scoring machine
My idol chris mullin
it was.........not anymore but I did saw it (not entirely) like 3 months ago
Golden State been had shooters
That golden state team was playing small ball before it’s time
Do you think it was easy to a basketball player to score 38 points at Chicago Stadium and his team defeat that Bulls team that had a great defense???
Mullin jumper is wet on 2k19
amazing
