- Dirk Nowitzki is an old man. He taught Karl-Anothony Towns a lesson or two last season with a vintage 29 point performance last season. Towns might very well be the best player in the game in a few seasons, but like many future hall of famers, he had no answer for Nowitzki. The very same thing could be said about Michael Jordan. On a Sunday afternoon in 2003, Dirk gave Jordan and the Wizards bucket after bucket on national television in a really fun overtime game. Both Dirk and Jordan played an absurd 52 minutes in the game, which happened to be a trend for Dirk under Don Nelson.
Steve Nash chipped in with some clutch baskets in overtime to finally put the Wizards away. It's always fun to watch old Nash and Nowitzki game and remember how potent they really were. At one point in the broadcast Bill Walton wonders aloud why Nowitzki is the best player on the best team in the league but nowhere to be found in the MVP conversation. Walton is also a gem in this video.

40 year old Jordan dueling evenly against a young Prime Dirk….simply, wow. He really is the greatest of all-time.
Lol Dirk was not on his prime during that time. What are you talking about?
@@apryllemelodysuyo2072 well he was never better in his prime than prime mj 😂
Two of the best midrange players ever. Such a beautiful part of the game.
Crazy to see the GOAT playing against MJ
You smoking crack?
Lebron isn't playing
Are all of u high. Lebron isn’t the goat and Kawhi and Dirk definitely aren’t
Mj the goat💀 not dirk
two of the greatest midrange jumpshots in history
i keep forgetting he actually played against MJ. probably only a handful of players left in the current nba who did that.
There are a lot of veterans in the league actually lol
He dropped 50 on the USA team in 96 lmao
E MJ was there but I meant to say the 98 team
Pedro Gamez doubt it
Now only Vince Carter :((
40 year old MJ going toe to toe with 2 MVPs in their primes Nash and Nowitzki. Crazy
They were too young back then dude .
He played all 82 games in 02-03 season! Averaged 20 ppg at age 40!
@@Criglet7 and how many years did he quit?
@@apryllemelodysuyo2072 Exactly. He took 3 years off and still averaged as much as Garnett. If he didn't hurt his knee I think he could have put up 23-25 ppg maybe.
Jordan guarding dirk late in a close game.. at age 40. Crazy
Jeez Jordan was playing this intense at age 40 !!!
He is just the GOAT! No doubt! If someone doubts it, he should be blinded😂🤦🏻♂️
People don’t realize how good 38-40 year old MJ was before getting injured
I consider Nash one of the best ball handlers in my book and too see Jordan just sneak in at 6:33 amd just slap it away is insanely amazing! It’s like a lightning strike. You can’t even see him do it!
Mj moves so beautiful.
Such a high level of basketball
You dont see this anymore
incredible how strong Jordan played even with 40 years of age
MJ picked Stackhouse and released Hamilton was big mistake.
What about taking Kwame Brown over Pau Gasol?
Bronsexuals - Jordan cant play in a zone defense. dropped 30 againsts Dirk, Nash and Finlay 🤣
This just showed what a fierce defender MJ was. Strip, steal, blocks - Old man doing the basics unlike LeOverated who choosed to shoot 3's instead
My favourite 2 players! GOAT!!
Michael Jordan Makes History 3:18
man I love this version of the mavs they were so fun to watch
G.o.a.t in action.
manu naey Yeah and Michael Jordan too
4:32 would be a flagrant foul in today's NBA. He made no attempt at the ball, he just shoved him in the back while he was in the air.
My 2 favorite player of all time
If these mavs would have been able to D up elite teams they would've been special
Jordan was a Mid range assassin that managed to be a scoring machine by rarely taking three pointers.
The wizards late game offense bugged tf out of me. Great duel though
Video description forgot to mention that Michael Jordan was 40 years old at the time of this game, and "old man" Dirk was actually a young 24 years old. Also, MJ slightly outplayed the much younger Dirk.
MJ - 14/26 54% shooting, 30 pts, 9 reb, 3 asst, 2 stl
Dirk - 11/23 48% shooting, 29 pts, 10 reb, 2 asst, 1 stl
twobigjets pretty sure MJ is supposed to do that he's supposedly the best player ever but couldn't take the wizards to not even one playoff game like come on now he's supposed to be the best player ever
No star could have taken that Wizards team to the playoffs. But aside from that, no hall of famer has ever won 6 Finals MVPs, or 3 Finals MVPs in a row. MJ did both, and he did the latter twice. Who can compete with that fact?
twobigjets but MJ was more experienced
twobigjets also kinda weird how now that dirk is 40, he does this to younger stars like this every day
I hear ya. I think many great players from one era can adjust well to new eras but few have excellent star staying power like Duncan, Dirk, the Mailman, and Jordan..
An old, beaten down MJ still had no quiet in him at this point in his career. We would have seen someone else shoulders drop to the ground and cursing the refs. Allegedly.
Passing of the torch BIRD - Jordan - DIRK - LUKA
That was awesome!
Not here to ride MJ's jock. But MJ switched on to Dirk halfway through the game and I only saw Dirk scoring on MJ on 2 baskets max....maybe the guards are giving the ball to Dirk (gotta watch the whole game) but MJ did sort of have an answer for Dirk (making the Mavs guard hesitant to give Dirk the ball). Or perhaps Don Nelson thinks that it is more advantageous to let Nash take Lue.
In conclusion, there's too much things that we have to watch the full game to understand but to say MJ has no answer for Dirk in this game is not valid
Absolutely mj has no chance at guarding dirk one on one. In his prime or at 40 yrs old. Nothing against mj obviously but it’s a obvious mismatch.
@@tgc281 agreed, those two shots he made on Jordan were probably the only two times Jordan guarded him. Even prime Jordan would have no answer for a prime, 7 foot Dirk Nowitzki. No one did, and that is a big mismatch.
@@shammycat3538 I disagree! Jordan was a great defender and Blocker for a shooting guard
@@courtneywhite6036 have you never watched Dirk play?
Can you post the whole game ? Why just highlights ? Grateful for them none the less
3:46 😮
Stackhouse bum ass cost them that game, he fucked up that fast break and it was the difference between going into overtime and losing and winning in regulation. smh It was still a good game.
And then Stack was a big part of the Mavs finals run in 06 where they got robbed.
6:10 would you still call it "Jordanesque" if it was Jordan himself took the shot?
Kobesque
Yeah if Messi did a typical Messi thing id say thats so Messiesque. It there trademark moves that make it that “esque”.
Lol the commentator called it that cause jordan has perfected that midrange shot at that point of his career. Countless times you have seen him pull up the same way and drain it in clutch situations. It was just showing respect to him
Dirk 😭😭
MJ coulda played 2 more seasons if he wanted to honestly. Probably saw Kobe dominating and bron coming into the league and was like f that I’m done 😂
Jordan in his prime has done the last shot and Dallas have lost that game earlier. But Jordan plays in his prime at Chicago.
Bro really played against MJ bron and Kobe
Why would Juan Dixion take the last shot of the game 👎👎😩
“At the top of his game, Jordan was the leagues BEST rebounder” “No he wasn’t” 😂😂
Dirk is 3-0 all time against MJ. 😎
Dirk and the Mavericks smashed the Wizards
Dickson should had give the ball to MJ
What is this “defense” chant?
Shawn Bradley was the definition of trash
Very disappointing year for jordan, only averaging 20 points a game and all do to knee surgery the previous year and the 8 week set back of broken ribs in 2001 that slowed jordan down in the 2001-2002 season and then those two setbacks carried over to the 2003 season. But the knee surgery was the worst and the number one reason why I hate knee surgery because of what it did to jordan. It was the only surgery he had in his entire nba career and it fucked him up bad. At least his knee surgery was at the end of his career with wizards and not closer to his prime.
JJ barea 6:58 :)
Amazing game! #MFFL
Wizard is better than chicago team
林口林志洋
loool yes of course old MJ has no answer for Dirk here -.- but yes def an excellent performance from both
xdachinamanx dirk had the better team.. but old 40yr mj was on they ass they had no answer for him sad...
