Michael Jordan buzzer beater: Bulls vs Hornets, 1997
Спорт
Fresh off recording the first-ever triple double in an All-Star game, Michael Jordan showed the Charlotte Hornets why he is the greatest player in the world.
Ironically enough, the Bulls' first opponent after the All-Star break was the Hornets, whose best player, Glen Rice, won MVP honors in the 1997 All-Star game.
Rice had a solid game against the Bulls, scoring 32 points on 9 of 17 shooting.
But as he always does, Michael Jordan put on the cape, scored 43 points and hit a game-winning three at the buzzer to give the Bulls a 103-100 win.
MJ hit 16 of 24 shots and made 10 of 14 free throws.
Scottie Pippen had a terrible game, offensively, scoring just five points on 2 of 13 shooting.

Eastern conference was so strong in 1997. Hornets were 54-28 and only were a 6th seed that year.
God damn, the enthusiasm Johnny Kerr had, the voice crack when he said "I can't believe it" gets me every time.

I've always thought he said you can't believe it as if he was talking to wayne laravee
Bulls on WGN with Johnny Redd Kerr were the best, it was a great time to be a Bulls fan in Chicago back in the 90's.

Kerr with Laravee on WGN or Kerr with Tom Dore on the local sportschannel were both excellent sportscast teams for the Bulls.......i actually did not care for the NBC games as Marv Albert and Bill Walton I felt were lightweights compared to those guys.....

@@80sNewWaveGeekI didn’t mind Marv and Bill but Matt Goukas could be a richard at times. But they were much better than Costas with anyone else. Costas is just one of those holier than thou types of guy who thinks he’s smarter and better than everyone else.

@edmondlau511 Marv was effective, though it seemed at times that the three of them (Marv, Matt, Bill) were just going through a by-the-numbers routine. I always thought the productions of the NBA telecasts on NBC were more effective than the sportscast teams.
That never gets old watching him do that to teams. The dream killer.
This was the 1 and only bulls game I've been to.. I was way up on the upper deck but had a great time.. what a game to be at having jordan nail a game winner. I was a huge bulls fan, still am but they are hard to watch. Sure miss those glory days
One of the reasons why Michael Jordan is the greatest nba player of all time and my most favorite!
My father took me to this game and he got the tickets for free from his meat supplier, watching the "Last Dance", has brought joy and remembrance of my time with my father. Also Seeing my all time favorite athlete in real life hitting a game winning shot is priceless! Also living in Toronto I am a raptors fan so was cool to see Dell Curry play in real life too!!
very cool best guy to ever step on a court very special and inspirational man he was
I was at this game. Jordan had that game winner, crowd exploded. It was my 1st bulls game.
This was like a perfect game battle. It just ended just like that. Smooooth. '96-98 bulls were the best team ever. I miss watching Bulls games on WGN too.
At this point MJ wasn't tryin to dunk on everyone or take the ball to the whole that much, but as you can see the fadeaway jumper became the new weapon. Also it's noticeable how even at his age (34) that MJ who was not as quick as he once was, of course not, still was quicker than his opponents!
hahahaha i love how shattered that Hornets bench guy looks
Ahhh. I miss the good old days. That was a great period of time.
i remember this game so vividly, i was 9. Those were the days
Michael Jordan... older, slower...but he still was finding ways to be best... First,.. mj was a fadeaway specialist from his debut.. and thats all.....thanks from Lithuania :)
Another great post, and anothr buzzer beater for Michael. The only player with the "love of the game clause in his contract."
These are the best videos on youtube. Often you'll see just highlights of certain players. These videos show the context of the game by giving highlights by both teams. Great work!
Thanks for this wonderful vid.
8:29 - Jud Buechler looks alot like Chuck Sherman from American Pie LoL.
MJ greatest of all time!🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
Hahaha! I'm sorry, mj is a heartbreaker really. Have the opposite team celebrate for a few minutes then shattered their hearts for the win!
very nice video mate appreciate it
Jordan...the best to ever do it!
i was at this game! feb 11th, 1997 i believe.
i was only 5 or 6 when this game was played but i remember this was back when a bulls game was an event..no one would be out driving (and this is on california ave) everyone was infront of a tv somewhere...it's too bad they don't play basketball like this anymore
great upload foremily23!! in this game mj's pace is a bit relaxed to me. maybe the hornets defense was relaxed too.. he made all the shots so effortlessly, like this is just a pick up game. the play on 5:31 is crazy. with only two dribble he cut right through into the lane for a potential dunk, that kind of efficiency set him apart. not that it is important but the final game winner looks like a 2pt to me, since his foot might touch the line.
The Great One
the hornets was like wtever dude, its mike!
at 5:31 i just love when he crosses the ball over and splits the defenders that he crosses it over so low and fast that the defenders cant even touch the ball and it just bounces right in front of him so it sets himself up for another move to the basket or a shot or pass its like another triple threat..mans a genius and wen he went to dunk if that was young jordan he woulda dunked on them all cuz u can see him take flight and hit a notch just a little higher than all the other players
Awesome video! 5:48 scared me LOL
Jordan's second 3 point buzzer beater winner, Kobe has 3 of his four 3 point game winning buzzer beater.
i would be happy to bench for the bulls. getting paid to watch the best player ever to play. nothing wrong with that.
thanks, foremily23 :)
Yes buzzer
Always amusing to see him clap after making this type of shots. "Hey I did good!"
Damn MJ game winner again and again
i miss when you actually had to remember the score of the game cuz the score wasnt showed all the time. now its on every single second.
dennis so strong! :D
this is REAL basketball here,best error of the game, The 90's!
yes.
wow look at 7:24 know that some impressive shooting
5:30 even though nothing happened it would've made a great poster.
8:25 i didnt know rob dyrdek played for the hornets o_O
@HIfinest The league minimum I think was 360,000 a year. I would take that to watch him play.
we dont see this buzzer much like the others they be showing from nj..nice 1

Jordan now technically "owns" the Hornets
Full version anywhere?

JORDAN FOR THE WIN . . . YEAH!!!!
@jonnieos Jordan didn't leave the Bulls in 88 to go join Magic and the Lakers or Bird and the Celtics. LeBron has already put a big asterisk next to his championship IF he ever wins one.

@VvFrostyvV compare? whoa i don't need to compare mj to kobe or lebron. What i'm talking was about stats and what happened right now.. kobe and lebron are good players mostly i like kobe now because he immitate all moves of mj and he did in a good way. We have our own opinion, difference view and knowledge about the game. Put your best comment and i will respect it.
You mean like how Kobe had Artest, Gasol, and Bynum and still lost to Dalla and then the Thunder? Or maybe you mean the time when Kobe had Malone, Payon, Shaq, Horry, and still lost foolishly to the Pistons?
@thenintendogamer 1st of all, BJ & Horace were NEVER All Stars while playing "with" MJ...only in '94. And Kukoc also was NEVER an All Star in CHI, so I don't know where U got that from kiddo...SMH
@mrmacross I think that Jordan leaned off of Bogues because he was playing his odds a bit. Although Bogues had some success that year from beyond the arc, historically, Bogues was not a good 3-pt shooter. That time, it didn't work for Mike.
beacause he is really sure that he can shoot it
6.54 Anthony Mason's first career 3 pointer.
whats the beginning song?
sho nuff
Nothing but net.!
43-6, that's just rediculous.
fuking hell the hornets were awesome, bring back the charlotte hornets
@jonnieos im just a nubie...but 1 thing that i know that pippen in 87 is 'unknown'(not superstar) so if jordan is lebron....i know for sure that he must find another team to find a good teamate! but he choose to still in bulls n rise a relationship with pippen,know each other,share knowledge n time together until pippen is 1 of the best basketball player with jordan. and finnaly bulls make it. so for me lebron is good player who find a teammate to 'make it',but jordan 'make' a teammate peace.
@ForEmily23 Wrong, teams win championships. You think MJ won his 6 rings without other hall of famers in Pippen, Rodman or coach Phil Jackson? Not to mention a slew of other All-Stars on those teams like BJ Armstrong, Horace Grant, Kukoc and role-players like Levingston and Longley.
Hard to believe this was merely a regular season game. Oh how fans were treated to great basketball back then. Today's NBA is just so dull and attending game is more about the food, the half-time show and buying merch before the game. The actual game itself is pretty much garbage.
Why would you go help on Mason knowing they needed a 3 to tie? Glad they won tho.
Ya i think james will get atleast 3 in the end. When hes a free agent one of these years hewill end up going to a steller team and win one with him heading it. If hes smart he will take partial contracts, but who does that ;) If i really cared about winning i would make my organization get people in there in atleast 4 years or see ya
@KHAN388991 Nothing.
Just like Zach lavine
would u rather have me or jordan

@ForEmily23.. yup your absolutely right. where is lebron now? two straight winning the mvp award but end up eliminated and never reach the finals..If your a leader don't tell that you have injured elbow just play your game and do your best, in game 5 lebron got only 15pts 0-4 fgs in the first half then finish with 3-14 gfs.Forget about lebron and kobe they are good players but not close, not even close..There is only one king and he wear no. 23 that's michael jordan..
MJ scores 40+ AND hits the game-winner...seems like business as usual to me. haha. did you see how the bench reacted? it was almost like they were used to that sort of thing happening...
Even the b-class teams were great.
What the fuck does that have to do with anything? The Pistons had 4 All-Stars on their team and and Dallas had 3. Horry was never an All Star and Bynum wasn't an Allstar till last season, and Artest was an All Star just 1 season.
What would Be if 1998 Jordan version will play versus 1988 Jordan verson ???? I know...I would be THE BEST VERSUS THE BEST!!!!!
@veronicaisl i know jordan is the greatest but dont compare him to kobe and lebron just keep him outta there for a moment....if there was no such thing as jordan who would be the best player now

You really can't because without Jordan kobe not the same player so by default lebron would be the best.
the next player to jordan is kobe.. and he is still far
great ending to the game. haha take that hornets!
@Tr0jans4L1f3 nope im better
@Taffykill Kobe had the most dominant player since jordan, shaq, on his team to win his first 3 championships (shaq won all of those finals mvps). Kobe had gasol, odom, bynum, and artest who is a defensive specialist to win his next 2. Bird had mchale, parrish, and dennis johnson, Magic had kareem and worthy. Are you guna put an asterisk next to their names? It doesnt matter who he plays with because lebron has become the leader and playmaker for the heat. He has wade and an overrated bosh.
@Tr0jans4L1f3 dude no....if james can shape up his attitude and actually win a championship then MAYBE ill consider him 3rd best....but kobe has to be second best...his numbers r up there NEXT to jordans and he has hit more buzzer beaters than mostly every1 in the NBA except jordan
