The first game of the 1992 playoffs. This was Miami's first playoff experience and they were determined to make some noise. They started the game with a lot of energy and looked very promising. But that was until Jordan decided to take over. It was total domination.
After three quarters Jordan had 42/8/6 with some steals and a block. The Bulls having a comfortable lead, he shot only three times in the final quarter. Finished with 46/11/9/3stl/1 blk on 21/34 shooting. Went to the line only 4 times.
Hoops has the third game of this series where Jordan scores 56 in Miami.
Post game notes & quotes
========================
CHICAGO (AP) -- These are the playoffs, also known as Michael Jordan time.
"I told you this is what I've been waiting for. I've been excited all week. This is fun time," Jordan said Friday night after scoring 46 points as Chicago began defense of its NBA championship with a 113-94 victory over Miami.
Showing no ill effects from the back spasms that bothered him earlier in the week, Jordan scored 15 points in the second quarter when the Bulls went ahead to stay, and 15 more in the third quarter when they pulled away to an 87-73 lead. Jordan also had 11 rebounds and nine assists.
"He was keyed up, this is his special time of the season," coach Phil Jackson said. "He was anxious to get started and he made a great statement."
Jackson blamed the Bulls' slow start on being "very nervous -- no, very anxious."
"The suspense of the playoffs was laboring in the back of our minds. We tried to do too much too quickly in the first quarter," Jackson said.
"I have no complaints, I wasn't displeased," Miami coach Kevin Loughery said. "We just didn't score. That's a great defensive club."
As for Jordan, Loughery said, "He's got several levels at which he can play. It's another level which he rises to for the playoffs."
Will Perdue scored 16 points, 14 in the second half, Horace Grant had 15 and Scottie Pippen 11 for Chicago. Steve Smith led Miami with 19, Glen Rice had 17, Brian Shaw 15 and Rony Seikaly 14 before fouling out in the final period.
It was a close game in the first half before the Bulls began pulling away.
The Heat led most of the first quarter. Smith gave Miami a 7-4 lead on a three-point play and the Heat gradually pulled ahead 20-14.
The Bulls went on a 10-3 run with Jordan scoring eight points to take a 24-23 lead but Smith scored the final four points to put Miami ahead 27- 24 at the end of the quarter.
A three-point play by Pippen and a basket by Jordan put Chicago ahead 29-27 but two 3-pointers by Keith Askins gave the Heat a 35-31 lead.
There were three lead changes and six ties in the second quarter, the last at 43-43. Then Jordan struck for two quick scores and came back with a three-point play for a 50- 45 lead on the way to a 60-53 advantage at the half.
The Heat came within five of the lead early in the second half before Jordan scored five straight for a 67-57 lead, and the Heat couldn't recover.
OH my GOD.... Just the quickness and perfection in his play, that is what seperates him from the rest of us!
I love the way mj speaks in interviews... with such grace and intelligence... a characteristic that most nba players seem to lack today
Ok grandpa
I agree! Jordan had great parents .
This might be the best Jordan. This guy was unstoppable on both ends in almost every facet of the game. Absolutely absurd.
This is clearly prime MJ you didn't want no part's of this guy!
THIS Jordan can beat ANYBODY! Insane quickness, skill, court awareness, inside game, outside game, power, agility, and style to boot. G.O.A.T!
Lebron is playing in a soft era，he is not as good as MJ. I will say Lebron is top5 all time, but today's league has changed a lot of rules(Such as Handcheck forbidden, No forearm contact, Defensive three second rules ETC) to support SF SG and provide them more space to drive to the rim doing dunks or layups.
And that's why you can see today's perimeter players attacking rim more often, not only for Lebron.
and today's league does not have super centers or PFs so that it possibly makes Lebron easier to drive under the rim and dunk. IF MJ plays in today's league, he will have more dunks and layups with no doubt.
We all see that when Lebron played against 38-aged Tim Duncan in 2014 final, his driving powerness is not as strong as before. Lebron takes the advantage of this era that there is no good big men inside to defend under the basket.
So, no question Lebron is top 5 of all time in terms of individual ability , but his ability is not as supreme as Jordan.
+Chengyan Ruan Today's rules protect guards SF and help them to attack the rim, that is why you see today's dunks and layups are more often.
The former NBA president Stu Jackson also have admitted the fact that rules changed to help outside players to attack the rim and this makes today‘s game looks better to attract more audiences globally.
+Wis Dom If you know the rules' differences between today's league and league in 90s, you will understand that Lebron is not as good as MJ.
+Chengyan Ruan But that what makes me not praise Lebron. The fact that he DOES play in a softer NBA era but still isn't as dominating means he doesn't make my top 5. But I'm old school, I know for a fact he would get shut defensively a lot back then. He would still score, but he would have to rely heavily on his outside perimeter shot and free throws. So he would still be a talented player, but no where near as great as he is today.
This and MJ's 55 Vs. the Suns are likely my favorite MJ performances. This one in particular with his athleticism and intensity still blows my mind.
Haha I love how they explain how Jordan get's open so much in this game. This is the standard in today's game. Imagine this version of MJ against that. He would destroy everything.
+triklops That's a fact!
Quite the opposite
Illegal defense rule = easier path to the basket
all you can say is WOW and WOW Jordan was the greatest ever, never be another MJ. love watching all these vintage Jordan videos
WOW that dunk over Ronny was unreal. He was attack attack attack the whole game to the hoop later opened up his master mid range jumper. Just unreal you can watch these games and not say hes the greatest of all time.
this is one those games where he could have passed his own 63 playoffs records but the heat didn't respond to the challenge.
unbelievably crazy performance by jordan!
Michael Jordan is one of my favorite players ever I hated him growing up but as I got older I became to love him long live the GOAT
About Jordan and Pippen: "The dobermans are being sent out to go to work!" Nuff said....
This is what the people who keep posting about how Lebron is better than MJ need to take a look at. They're suffering from short term memories.
MJ all the way! Luck FeBron!!!
Some real ferocious dunks in that one
Look at this 8th seed: Rice, Shaw, Seikaly, Steve Smith, Long....not too shabby.
The level of talent in that in era was insane.
Megadrive That's right every team was a elite. The problem was you had to go through the Greatest athlete/Basketball player of All-time!
GÖ-TV right
This was back when the NBA was good and every playoff series was worth price of admission. Modern era NBA is just blah. I dont even watch. Its just a bunch of overpaid, uncommitted, Twitter finger, player GM, over-hyped, over-marketed, wannabe celebs running around shooting uncontested 3s.
@@meg-k-waldren THANK YOU
The footwork on the spin and pass at 0:30 is DISGUSTING. Great move.
I haven't watched this game for a good 2 years. Props on the upload man, thanks again. Doing a wonderful job.
When I see Lebron James play, I see great ability, force, and skill. When I see Jordan play I am witnessing an artist. Lebron does not have that greatness, he is not even that fun to watch
J F at all, perfectly said
These are the best highlights from one player in one game that I have ever seen. If this is not Michael in his athletic prime, it is close to. What a spectacle. The speed, quickness, strength, and jumping ability displayed within are of a quality I had not previously witnessed.
His .497 career field goal average is by far one of his most impressive stats.
D Mo it should be 52%fg for a career if it wasn’t for those damn Wizards years after a 3 years absence
Smh 🤦🏾♂️
Thanks for posting this. I lost my vhs copy of this game.
i had to do a 2 month report on MJ today and all i said was, "Jordan is a beast and he is the King of the NBA" and its true, this guy has nothing but talent and nothing but heart and love for his team, if you want the def. of a NBA player just look at Jordan. im not trying to be a die hard fan or anything but you cant take away anything someone else "earned." by the way i got a A on my report :)
G.O.A.T!!! Greatest of all time. No questions!
LOL the dunk at min 2:58 is the most beastly dunk I ever seen, even for MJ. I mean it defines the term "hammering it down".
ppl forget just how ridiculous MJ was in the playoffs much less the regular season, once the playoffs begin jordan puts up astronomical numbers, this near trip/dub is exactly what im talking about
😂🤣😂 that dunk on Siekaly just never gets old. Poor Siekaly.
Jordan was unstoppable.
Lebron you're great. i know you feel like you're the Greatest After the Warriors 73.. But Facts over feelings bro.. This #23 in his prime years was better than you..
The sheer fact the Warriors won 73 on Lebron's watch proves he aint no damn greatest. Lebron hasnt even dominated his own era - Duncan 4 💍, Curry 3 💍, Kobe 2 💍, Kawahi 2 💍, JJ Barera 1 💍, Paul Pierce 1 💍... all on Lebron's watch. Imo only trolls think Lebron is the GOAT.
@@meg-k-waldren I agree MJ is the GOAT but that's the worse argument, the Warriors were in the opposite conference so they only played 2x that year. Even if they won those 2 games that's still 71. You're also counting rings won from since LeBron's 2nd year (which you got wrong too Duncan 3 not 4). If you did that you could say Magic & Kareem 3, Isiah 2, Bird 1, Olajuwon 1, Shaq & Kobe 1, Duncan 1.
yea i agree with Bullsrepeat jordan after he retired with the bulls was shooting 51.5% from the field to make more than 50% of ur shots as a guard is unheard of especially considering how many shots he took adn the constant double and triple teams he faced and all the pressure game ending situations he was put in and converted he was the best ever no doubt amazing at every facet of the game
filled with so many monster jams by Jordan ... great stuff !
damn that dunk at 5:55 was pretty amazing.
3:17 " LOOK AT THE FORCE OF THAT BALL" hahaha
03:23 GSW commentator: "Michael, shoves it down on Ronny Seikley's head!!!!!!! Oh my goodness!!!!! Are you kidding me!!??!? With the right hand spike!!"
Bulls had TWO superstars, don't forget that Scottie Pippen is one of the greatest Small Forwards ever.
05:54 huge reason why Jordan is the greatest. He traveled there, but did it SO quick where the official's couldn't even catch it. that's how you know you're the G.O.A.T.!
Great game on the Bulls way to win a 2nd championship. I love the way Pippen ended the 1st half and especially how the Bulls showed that they were the elite team
The Bulls Fans loved Will Purdue!
i don't think i'll see another guy like this as long as i'm alive. and i'm 26. i love basketball, but it's not at the level as this man played.
Look how many dunks he had. Crazy
this is one of the spectacularest Jordan playoff game... 46 pts 11 rebs and 9 asistt 23-34 shooting...thats GREAT!!!
What's crazy is this wasn't even his best game of the series. He went nuclear in game 3.
Damn i swear Michael Jordan wuz puttin up some numbers when he wuz in his prime
This was Michael Jordan in his prime and this may be his greatest game ever because he almost has triple double.
11 rebs & 9 assists to go along with 46 pts? Wow.. Young NBA players should watch more MJ games. On 06:15 MJ even rewarded Perdue with passing after Will ran the floor in a fastbreak. Great vid. Keep it coming, man
Jordan was ill he turned it up 1000x more in the playoffs which is rare to see in any sport
This was a pretty decent Heat team. Steve Smith, Ron sikley, glen rice
Jeez... So much highlights in one game...
And he had a hurt back. that block.. ridiculous
(cont)i dont know how many time people say that he is so graceful, i guess it is a combination of speed and control and style. he never overdid anything. smooth and coherent.
"GET OUT OF MY WAY! OH MY LORD!"
haha classic. MJ has the commentator going crazy haha.
One thing I noticed about this video is the fact that MJ had ALOT of spring in his legs! The majority of his points seemed to come off of drives to the basket. Just look at some of his dunks and the explosive lift that he had going to the rim...
Damn Michael makes it look sooo easy... If he was playing now where the defender couldn't even touch you now..... He would score 50 a night......G.O.A.T.
mj your the best ever jeff gall
The announcer said the Heat weren't intimidated? Well they clearly were thankful they were wearing dark shorts in the first two games alone!
This is the only time I've ever seen that monster jam over Seikaly from the normal game angle. I have this game on DVD, but I guess it was from a different network, because once that halfcourt set starts, the camera switches to a behind the back view like on the replay of it shown here, but at normal speed. The ground he covers and how quickly he covers it is amazing. One quick step and BAM, gone.
Great stuff. I think that this might've been MJ's true prime, when his outside game was hovering near where it would ultimately get to in 95-98, but his athleticism was still near its peak.
oh my sweet mother jesus that dunk.
(cont)finally finished it. the number of dunks are ridiclous..miami must have been collaspsing fast later on.again, thank you for this video.
IS... the he IS the greatest ever.
Nice post, dude. Jordan destroyed Miami in that series, altough the Heat were happy just to be in the playoffs. Never had a chance.
Hi
he's always been ready to play and dominate
I was there! Still have my ticket stub that is signed by Shawon Dunston who was sitting behind me!!
i cant help to put in comment before finishing the whole clip, but the dunk on 1:35 is just sweet. he was running the fast break, and taking off with all the momentum and he pumped his the balls and spreaded his legs, looks like he was gonna stuff it hard but instead he just put it down with out hanging onto the rim.
LOOK AT THE FORCE ON THAT BALL!!!!
Jordan is really the boss the best player ever,kobe ,lebron and wade are his succession.
thank you very much,man, fo posting this video without those RIDICULOUS songs
i wish i could give you more than one thumbs up. these are my thoughts exactly!
We hear a lot are saying todays game is faster, players are faster, etc..then my brother who is an anti-jordan during the 90's was with me watching btv last night, jordan was in it, we saw that dunk and he said, nah...its still the same, he is the best! (thats coming from my brother who despises mj because he is one of those "jordan all the time, give others a chance & chooses the opposite team &loses all the time in the finals,lol) then he admitted, mj is just too good out there!
Thanks again Starks 23 for the great upload. Great game!
pippen is a career 16 point per game scorer who averaged over 20 4 times. Only twice while playing with MJ. Rodman was a rebounder and defender. All Kerr could do was shoot open threes. He could not create his own shot and couldn't guard his lunch. Wade over 25 a game most of his career Bosh over 20 and 9 a night. and Dwight, Pau, Metta, Nash, Jamison lol all former all-stars. you sound silly...
Great game, i remember watchin a tape with this game..1992 he still had some explosive dunks, not like the 80's but he still had it
You are correct. They never lost in the first round in either championship run.
@Intramorph 100% agree with you!!! nba used to be the NO BOYS ALLOWED league. A foul back then was a freaking foul, now anything is a foul. a 40 point game by a player back then made front page news, now 40 points is almost expected from someone every night because anyone could score 40 point in a game. even pippen was quoted saying that "he's surprise that no one averages 40 point a game" the way the rules are nowadays.
DOMINATION!
Dominant
Simply the best
GOAT!
MJ averaged 45 pts 9.7 RB and 6.7 ass in this series, insane
While attempting no 3 pointers
"it was a lot easier for superstars to score back then"
Spoken like a 17 year old who doesn't know anything about the NBA pre-Kobe/LeBron/Wade. I'm sure dunking as you're smacked in the face is a lot easier than scoring in a league where you're not even allowed to check the offensive player. I wish a team like the old Knicks or Pistons existed today to show these current Prima Donnas what earning your points against a REAL defense means. Today's NBA is nothing more than watered down leftovers.
It's like he's playing against a bunch of high schoolers.
9:20 commentator using the word "swagger" before it was cool. LOL
the dunk at 4:00 is insane
The Heat had no presence in the middle, and Michael absolutely abused them at the basket. That wasn't even fair.
thats all it took to win a championship, one great player with a good cast of support who knew their role. These days you have three stars (Miami) on one team, but they cant win jack!! Bulls had one great player and won "SIX" NBA titles!!! So, tell me what method worked better?
No star player today would come out the game with that stat line needing 1 more assist for triple double. Which goes to show how much stat chasing guys do today
Exactly!
not a surprise how everyone has thier own different tapes of mj games.
Why don't they do Post-Game Wrap Ups like they did here, where they bring the Player of The Game to the commentators' desk and talk, as opposed to just having a sideline reporter do it like they do today? Jordan looked so calm and relaxed here. But then again, idk. Maybe he looked that way because his team won that game by almost 20 points, lol! Not to mention he was feeling it with a modest, 46-pt performance by his standards.
sorry let me refraze that IS the greatest ever, lol. Scottie Pippen was so underated, the one two punch, simply the greatest
I came here for 3:24. Nobody debate me.
+degeneration2xtreme If you look closely, that is the whole Miami team closing in on him. LOL!
" buT JorDaN NeVeR PlAyEd AgAiNsT A DoUbLe TeAm" LOL
LOL Grant shaking his head @ 3:37
horace grant was a beast !
the title of this video should just be Jordan highlights
@IsraelDecoy Right back at ya Buddy! ;)
46 pts 11 rbs 8 dunks !
9 assists
MJ in this rookie season had 28.2 PPG at 51% ... Kobe Never had this, ... But PEOPLE .. KOBE ISN'T FOULT THAT HE IS COMPARED WITH JORDAN... KOBE JUST WANT BE LIKE KOBE... MJ THE BEST!!!
no it wasn't. i could see MJ struggling at times to even get a shot off but still score his points using intelligence on the court. I doubt the players today would be able to hang in there with Joe Dummars and Anthony Mason and Charles Oakley. They would have become better players.. but not at the level of MJ.. Its unbelievable.. in the past the kinda of defense...
actually the Spurs plan worked.
He shot poorly in Game 1,2 &3.
Game 4 he scored 12 pts with 4 Jumpers when the game was decided thanks to Wade.
he was horrid in games 5 &6.
and game 7 he shot 52%
Wow, 52% on wide open shots. I'm "impressed!"
MJ comes out of game early 1 assist away from triple double. *Lebron would've forced the triple double like the stat chaser and force he is.* Championships matter and how you win them matter. Stat-padding and superteaming imo is a disgrace and insult to the game. The only reason its tolerated now is cause the NBA is now a corporation no longer a sport.
Gee...maybe THAT'S why he was nicknamed Air Jordan.
suks i never got to see reggie and MJ play..
