That steal at 1:35 was so quick, so unexpected. MJ saw that pass coming a mile away. And his acceleration is unbelievable; It's like the reel was sped up.

SPMJ, another thank you! and the "to please the MJ thrived in the isolation era crowd"

I've always loved that between the legs then crossover and the pass at 1:27. It just flows so well, and Jordan looks like he's moonwalking with how he jukes him and backs up at the same time lol. The pass is incredible too. That was essentially Tim Hardaway's killer crossover combo move. I have to say that this is an...err.."interesting" choice of music for the video. ;) I love this song, though.

Great upload - very rare. The combo of shots at the 2:45 mark only MJ could even attempt. The run around Muggsy at 3:05 like he wasn't there - no one ever used the baseline like Mike. Just too athletic and too skilled for everyone for the rest of time.

This track perfectly follows the game!

Gotta love the isolation era of basketball!!!

Very true. Jordan did a few semi-new school crossovers in his career, but he never carried the ball as badly as, say, Iverson or Kobe. It just wasn't in the consciousness of the game back then like all the And-1 stuff is now. Two that I remember specifically were on Joe Dumars in the '90 playoffs where he just scrapes him like 6 feet to the right and sticks the resulting wide open J, and on John Starks in '92 or '93.

Yes. Is the first game played in the history of this two team.

i was at this game, stadium went nuts on the rambis tip

MJ's speed is as fast as panther. the best

that cross over move at1:28 is quite rare for mj. it does look more fancy than his usual one, but still efficient.

3:44 ...was that fast forward turned on? amaizing speed and ball control!! Go MJ!

Nowadays that dunk at 37 seconds would have been replayed from 7 different angles. An amazing play, with Jordan jumping OUT SIDEWAYS from the baseline and jamming over two players. But back then it was considered so ordinary for Jordan that they didn't bother to replay it lol.

Share the GOAT.

@SPMJ Oh alright, I see. Thanks for your response.

damn, MJ just blew by mugsy at 3:07. that's how quick MJ was.

holy crap i love the background song. i just recognized the tune right when the guy started singing. what is the song?

And you're right about the fact that Jordan didn't need all of these fancy dribbing maneuvers to get past defenders. Imagine if he had modern handles? It wouldn't be fair.

"I could have made a 5 minute video on that alone. " So,please make it.

Understand that "And one" crossovers back in the day would have been considered carries, seeing is Jordan grew up in the 70's, he learned to dribble without carrying the ball. With his quicks as well, never needed to dribble juke all day, (ala kobe bryant) to go by a defender.

This was the first time the Hornets played the Bulls.

The dunk @ 1:39. Just look at where he took off from and then where he landed. Ridiculous.

Hard enough being an expansion team but now you gotta stop a guy who averages 35 a game

@SPMJ Hey man, can I get the title of this track?

prime MJ = lightning fast

1:25: ohhhh.

its from december 23 1988

Was this the first time the Bulls lost to the Hornets?

yea cant agree more. those juke dribble are digusting to look at compare to this, and yea i was thinking about t. and i still think that the way jordan handle the ball back then is way more efficient than the 'modern handling', which is timeless, and in a way, more modern than these new dribble style consider how long lasting it is gonna be. i wouldnt like him as much if he had dribbled the ball like these modern and1 shit.

The track song on here is super gay to this video.
