I was at this game. Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time.

the game winning shot was crazy...he was blocked by seikaly and still made the shot...unbeliavable!

MJ, he makes these guys look like high school. Simply amazing

MJ 40pts 11rbs 6ast just another day@the office...

MJ knowledge and understanding of the game coupled with his athleticism and competitive drive make him unguardable

Jay Scribe Bob Knight broke it down as basketball skills, basketball iq, athleticism and competitiveness and said jordan was upper echelon in each category and it's why he is the greatest. Basically the same thing you're pointing out only is Bob Knight. Lol

If you didn't grow up on MJ , I really feel sorry that u missed out on the definition of greatness!!

If you watch this game and Jordan's entire career, it is quite obvious that Steph Curry would have absolutely NO CHANCE of guarding Michael Jordan one on one. Jordan is 6'6" and Curry 6'3" with Jordan 15-20 pounds heavier of all muscle. Jordan would light his ass up as Curry would have NO CHANCE of stopping him when Jordan post up and shoots the fade away. Then Curry would overplay him and get up on him, and Jordan would fake and go around him to the hole. Then Jordan would face the hoop and Curry would stay back a little and Jordan would bury the 3 or any outside jumper. If Curry tried to get up on him with Jordan facing the hoop, MJ would drive around him and take it to the hoop again. Now, am I saying Michael Jordan would stop Steph Curry? Absolutely not! Nobody can! But MJ would at least contest and even deny Curry a small percentage of the time. Meanwhile, Curry would again have NO CHANCE of stopping Michael Jordan's arsenal of different shots... especially his post up fade away jumper. Jordan... 3 inches taller and 15-20 pounds more muscle means NO CHANCE for Curry! And I didn't even mention Jordan's incredible mental IQ and wisdom for the game of basketball when he would outsmart so many players as well.

and people say MJ never played zone when 90% of this video is against zone defense

The GOAT. No question

That was funny stuff. It seems he does whatever he wants during the last minute of each game.

Another masterpiece by Jordan. Just about every one of his games was a mini masterpiece, a thing of beauty.

smith lovy Yes MJ did have stinkers just like any other player has had and he did have some tough games against the Pistons in the late 80's. That being said I also remember MJ scorching the Pistons for 61 & 59 points on Detroit's home floor in wins, I also remember MJ averaging over 32 points per game for his career against Detroit, but you probably don't remember that part haha.

smith lovy - who doesn't miss game winners? But his percentage for shots in the last 24 seconds or less to tie or win is 50% - far beyond anybody else in the NBA. It's laughable when people make bombastic statements as if not making every single shot means he sucks. What is most notable is when he was on the highest stage in the Finals, he didn't miss them. And FYI, in all those 80's games against the Pistons and everyone else, he still played incredibly well even if he missed a rare game winner. Just go check his averages against Detroit.

Michael Jordan is unquestionably the greatest player of all time. If you are a MJ fan or a true basketball fan, you can't miss "MICHAEL JORDAN: THE LEGEND OF THE GREATEST (Final Version)": 5 hours and 5 minutes in honor of his greatness. Link: MICHAEL JORDAN: THE LEGEND OF THE GREATEST (Final Version)

Even todays NBA no one can guard him.

I know its been some years since Jordan played but I still shake my head at the things he was able to do. That shot over Siekaly at 7:21 was just nuts. Its looks like he was stopped but Jordan was able to hang and get that shot off against good defense. Just amayzing.

Lol. MJ talking to the bench. Does what he said he would do. Beat the centre get the rebound and score. Natural born winner most likely to a fault.

WOW!!! 1:57... his MOST UNDERRATED move!!!

You can't stop mike wearing his air concords. Good game

i know this team well- as it was my childhood team- we all thought they would do well- but the players all hated each other- and the coaches- webber was traded away- then we drafted joe smith- but at the core- tim hardaway and spree well fought daily over whose team it was - while mullin was aging and unable to do much. he had a resurgence later in indiana though. but on paper- the team was an all star team we all thought preseason.

bruh I just picked a random team to watch Jordan play against and ended up on this one holy shit this might be his most slept on performance he's ever had

jordan was ferocious- fighting for a rebound and talking shit in garbage time to the bench. only mj would do that.

That shot at the 7:21 mark is just vintage MJ, the body control and hangtime on that amazing running fadeaway shot was just insane, to this day i'm still trying to figure out how the hell he made that shot, let alone even get it off.

oh man, michael didn't punk out the big man for the warriors for the tap in did he?? only mj

@jedipudu You also got to take in account that MJ played in a tougher era. Remeber the "MJ Rules". Teams use to pound on him like he was ground meat. Kobe played in the softer (fan friendly) era. MJ in his prime in Kobe era is unfair.

Pure greatness

Type in MJ 40 point games in KZread & you have enough games for life

If the Monstars had watched this video, they would have never come to Earth!!

God he would fucking destroy the league today.

My favorite Jordan's

Chicago Bulls 99 @ Golden State Warriors 95 (02-07-1996) Jordan 40 Points

While everyone is talking about MJ, I'll just quietly mentioned that 96 Warriors isn't a bad team, it's only four points. They had Joe Smith, Latrell Sprewell, Chris Mullin, Tim Hardaway and Rony Seikaly. Each franchise players at different points of their careers.

I was at that game. I was a hard-core MJ fan, I idolized that guy.

5:35 guess who learned that move from MJ.

and he called it to. telling the warriors bench he was gonna get the ball.

Y is the move he did @1:55 not on a HL? Well its gettin ready 2b. I haven't seen a move like that in 15yrs

Agreed, i need to get the 'Concords' & 'Breds' this year, and i will, haha.

how awesome would HD back then be.......

That is pure confidence to openly talk trash the opposing teams bench, to grab a offensive rebound off a free throw against a PF/centre who is 6"10 and score. Scary thing is, he had this type of audacity through out his career. Most well know is when MJ dunked on Stockton the Jazz bench abused MJ telling him to dunk on someone bigger, so next he dunked a facial on there tallest guy 7"3 eaton!

What Michael Jordan said at the bench at 7:53 ??

That's because nobody else has the skill to take a shot like that.

that g.s team was loaded! latrell, mullin, hardaway and a young smith... too bad it didnt click

@hoovinc You have to consider kobe also has four more years of nba wear on his body than MJ did. I still believe MJ to be the most gifted overall athlete to ever play in the league. At the same time kobe's peak years have been shortened by the extended number of games he has played in his career. It will be interesting to see how Lebrons body holds up over the years.

simplygu - ur dreaming. MJ was the greatest perimeter defender of all time - top 5 if you disagree. Yes MJ would defensively torture Curry. If they played in the 90's rules, MJ would literally smother Curry with hands and forearm on Curry's body. Even in today's NBA, it may be impossible to totally stop anybody including Curry, but MJ would still make Curry's life miserable.

No chemistry between Hardaway and Sprewell. That team missed the playoffs.

It looks draymond is already playing with the warriors,just not with curry or klay

..jordan was the same age as Kobe now during this year. Yet, he moved faster, more athletic and dominant than any player in the court/league-- that reverse move at 2min mark is already a vintage move. Anybody argues that kobe is better in any year...is plain idiot. Kobe can shoot..but nowhere near the atheltic ability mike had at this point in his career. Sorry to bring up kobe's name--just for his delusional fans.

Let's go Golden State Warriors

I think Michael Jordan just MIGHT be a little bit better than JR Smith. lol!

@ChiToNYc Way to many people make that argument. The league is softer yes, but there is no way that makes up for a difference of 4 years in the nba. The real wear and tear on your body comes from running up and down the court and launching your body into the air with all your might. I think a prime MJ in any era is unfair. I wasn't comparing the two [because that is stupid]. My point was, Kobe would be more athletic if he had less years in the league on his body like MJ did.

Islam spreewell is a great player or was To be a super star Out of the gate. But The head coach for The warriors I believe that his name was Mooney. He took it upon himself to nip these Future stars with headgames when he was able too, and if not wage war on them. George Karl Interned under him. We all know what happened between Mooney and spreewell. But Shawn Kemp should Have seen the exact same thing happening to him with head coach George Karl, partly To keep their salaries low, stay in The playoffs, without adding to the roster stars like Vince Carter, or Barkley and bring Home a title. But instead destroying kemps reputation on An off the court Ahlafirmy Bey Islam

Latrell "Cant live on a 6 mill a year" Sprewell is the JACKAZZZZES of all time
