I'll be 42 in July and am so glad I grew up in Indianapolis and we got WGN "Chicago's network" so I got to see most of their home games. Everyday b4 school, I'd look in the newspaper and if they were on tv that night I knew to be parked in front of the tv and not outside. I've watched hundreds of Bulls games and know that what I watched was the greatest. Jordan was unreal, kids just don't understand how good he was. U cannot compare him to players from today's WNBA 2 who launch 15 3's a night. Jordan could drop 50 on ya quick without a single 3 point attempt. Back when they actually played defense and were allowed to "hand check". I personally don't think we'll ever see another Mike. Best ever in my opinion.
Basketball is a team game. This video just proved it. We saw how unstoppable Jordan was in that game with 53 points and yet his team still loss. A star player doesn't need a great supporting cast just one that is good enough to compete for a title. When Michael Jordan got that type of supporting cast it was a wrap for the reest of the nba.
Jordan COMPLETELY transcended the game of basketball and constantly reinvented himself!!! He was beyond ahead of his time and inspired hundreds of millions and influenced countless generations of future NBA stars... There's a reason why Kobe patterned 99 percent of his game after Mike!
Of all the years MJ did'nt win MVP, this was the season he most deserved the MVP, 32.5ppg,8.0rpg,8.0apg, insane,that's damn near a triple double. Sometimes we can forget just how well rounded of a player MJ was because we get so damn caught up in the points and highlight reel moves. Man that dunk over Chambers and Gilliam(R.I.P) at 8:08, wow.
The old debate...Lebron has played more games yet Jordan still has almost 300 MORE offensive rebounds, that imo makes him just a good rebounder as him. MJ was a very underrated rebounder.
Honestly I feel like 1989 could be Jordan's absolute prime as a player. Normally I'd go with 1991 but there's something about him in 1989, he was making the most incredible moves and was moving smoother. Of course he did develop tendinitis in his knees in 1990 and then had to deal with ankle injuries. 1989 Jordan was still extremely springy
@@GoGetYourShinebox You can argue so many years for him because he was so amazing. I literally have seen like 5 or 6 years of his careers argued, and they were all amazing for different reasons. This year makes sense to me as well, but a lot do.
watch it in 0.25 speed. that's a force of nature! he's so high and powerful it's incredible. to know that these were his last points in the last minutes of the game in which he scored 53 points and still got power to make one of the most spectacular dunk you will ever see in the game is just amazing
i never see a player like that , mike is so great , he play so hard, in my life since his retired ,i will not see anymore a player like that , mike my life
@mnkhan2020 I'd add 2-3 years more that he should have takenn mvp awards. He was the most valuable player every season. The bulls were blessed to have him in their team. There will never be someone like Michael, for many many years, the least.
Look at how he fakes 3 defenders out at 6:11 with the shake towards the baseline lol. He gets them all going towards the baseline while he spins and fades towards the middle. Nice.
53 points, 14 boards, 8 assists... damn ... those stats right der are unreal! he woundn't have had to play another game, and still would've been the GOAT!
8:57… And yet the tv clowns always say Mike was just a scorer, didn’t pass, not a complete player, ball hog, etc. Saying Mike wasn’t a complete player is like saying Lebron lacks longevity.
I think that there's an argument for Jordan at his peak versus Olajuwon at his peak. They were both unstoppable offensively and for as good as Jordan was defensively, Olajuwon arguably constituted the best defensive player since Bill Russell. But at shooting guard? Forget it.
at 4:11 you can see in slow motion how great Jordan coordinates his body and the ball. The defender doesn`t dare to go for the block, cause the ball is moving too fast for his eyes!
Patrick Sobb - actually, it's more common than you think although very few actually can score 50 or 60. More like 40 something but teams lose - when one guy has to score that much, teams often lose.
It's obvious (from this showing at least) that the 'Suns have no idea how to guard him. They (the Bulls) might as well be playing against a high school varsity team.
Johnny "Red" Kerr was one of them. An old NBA player who was a Bulls announcer. He passed away in 2009. Born and died in Chicago. I know him from the hundreds of Bulls games I watched growing up as a kid.
There's a good case to be made for Olajuwon in 1993; he didn't possess a co-star like Pippen (remember that the Bulls won 55 games the next year without Jordan) and he dominated both ends of the court and the glass in leading Houston to 55 wins. Jordan amounted to a great defensive guard, but great defensive guards don't make the same defensive impact as elite defensive big men.
The bulls were trash back in the day. Mj had to score like crazy to keep them in the game. People forget how much he carried them. Scottie wasn't doing shit yet.
@@eddieanderson9399 i watched it again and everything looked fine to me, even slowed it down like you said, it looks like a gather step he hoped and didnt move his feet till he dribbled again after landing
@@MicroWave233 if u slowed it down to .25x then you'll notice. Otherwise ur watching a different play. Ur not allowed to shimmy ur feet three times or jump while ur dribbling unless maybe you lost the possession.. a step a step. The refs will probably never call it though cause they can't even comprehend wth he just did 🤣
@@eddieanderson9399 you are allowed to hop a bit or gather step as long as you are in the motion of dribbling, its in the nba official rules. Its when you pick up the dribble and stop dribbling then its considered an up and down thus a travel, like i said mj in this possession did a long pause with the ball before dribbling again, it looks like a travel if you are not used to seeing it but a lot of players take advantage of it, just look at Jason williams, he would do that hop gather alot when shooting.
That last dunk....damn
Nobody has ever done it better than Mr. Jordan
That last dunk was freak nasty.
That dunk was sick, on of the best i've ever seen from MJ!

how can you compare anyone to this guy? !? he was a machine!!
Honestly You can't It's unfair too in my opinion!
Exactly

You know the craziest thing about Him Tho. To be that Super Athletic but also be so Fundamentally Sound...That's really what made Him unstoppable!

Predicted the future at 1:28. Announcer said, "Is he six for six?"
Chicago Bulls fans were spoiled to Mike.
you hot damn right. Lol
8:05 Look at Tom Chambers get up high to try to block Jordan but Jordan from another planet, dude was so high in the air
8:06 his hand is at the top of the white rectangle!
HOLY COW in the last minutes after 40mins+
i never see a player like that , mike is so great , he play so hard, in my life since his retired ,i will not see anymore a player like that , mike my life

Nobody like Mike to put on a show! He was so spectacular! Even today man, if I want to see a show I just have to watch these old videos lol!
it really is absurd how quick and effective that spin was.
the dunk at the end is unreal
The player of the league! nice touch there.
Even in defeat...... DAY-UMMM!!! What a show.
Look at how he fakes 3 defenders out at 6:11 with the shake towards the baseline lol. He gets them all going towards the baseline while he spins and fades towards the middle. Nice.
Kept putting this dude in on defense like he was gonna do something...still scored 53
Michael Pate Right! 😂😂😂
7:30 - 7:33
LOL. You can tell just from that point that he was workin HARD
It's almost as if he had some sort of condition. His energy and sustained power output is completely abnormal. And I'm totally serious.
He was a total psycho that became psychotic about a good sport
Look at his season average, 35 PPG on 54% from the field.
Jordan would utterly destroy the NBA as it is now. That dunk at 8:30... CRAZY... JUST CRAZY!!
Big time stats when stats were legit.
You can see the under the basket angle of that dunk on Come Fly With Me - the 1990 version, near the end of the video.
They should just eliminate the three point line. This brand of basketball is way more interesting.
Amen to that
WTF at 8:07 Owned
53 points, 14 boards, 8 assists... damn ... those stats right der are unreal! he woundn't have had to play another game, and still would've been the GOAT!
This has to be one of MJs greatest games ever. Too bad they lost but statistically has to be up there with his best.
MAAAAAN! That LAST dunk, bro! MJ with a straight up DOUBLE posterize jam, LOL! MAN!
Jordan as always, spectacular.
And they SAY he DIDN'T PASS? It UNFORTUNATELY WAS, THEY COULDN'T HIT?
Note the lack of irritating music during the game. You could actually hear the sneakers squeak.
Goat
MJ is probably the most prolific scorer of all time 🏀
Damn the rest of the team had 54 tho. Smh
good work
8:57… And yet the tv clowns always say Mike was just a scorer, didn’t pass, not a complete player, ball hog, etc.

But at shooting guard? Forget it.
phoenix were bad ass back in the day tom chambers kevin johnson and jeff hornacek
LA swept 'em.
And then in 1990, the Suns knocked LA out. The Suns were just starting to get good in 1989.
at 4:11 you can see in slow motion how great Jordan coordinates his body and the ball. The defender doesn`t dare to go for the block, cause the ball is moving too fast for his eyes!
DAMN STRAIGHT!
Great game by the greatest player but they still lost. How often do you see a guy get 50+ in a losing team? He did it in Boston in 86 too with 63.
Patrick Sobb Mike had a few 50's and 60's in losing efforts.
Patrick Sobb - actually, it's more common than you think although very few actually can score 50 or 60. More like 40 something but teams lose - when one guy has to score that much, teams often lose.
Good Evening? Chicago Bull's,... God BLESS tonight,...we love you ALL guys,... 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀👊👊👊👊👊👊❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝👍👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪💪
Rip Armon Gilliam
wats the second free throw from 6:02? he made the three point play? wtf?
"They may beat us as a team but imma let dese niggaz...UH muthafuckas!" That had to be what was going through his head DAMN that was sick!!!!
"He is 6 for 6"....foreshadowing
Looks like by now he has gained some muscle and developed his mature shooting style. Think he lost a little bit of his incredibly stylish athleticism
Jim Durham and Johnny 'Red' Kerr.
This is when MEN played basketball!
TR Dunn @ 1:47 sure looks like Terry Norris. *that's a boxing reference.
Season stats at 1:58..... you would swear Jordan was 8 feet tall....
It's obvious (from this showing at least) that the 'Suns have no idea how to guard him. They (the Bulls) might as well be playing against a high school varsity team.
Suns won this game.
@@evergreenthunder lol..I was thinking this reading his comment..
5:20 lmaoo
Jordan with hair jumper slightly different than jumper with bald head.
who are the commentators?

Lol look at that defense
Only person that is close is Kobe Bryant
2 assists why of a triple double

I dont think it is, its a gather step, and mj was still dribbling the ball, he just took a long pause to the next dribble
