I always find it so interesting to watch Bulls games from the early 90s and listen to Doug Collins commentate on his former team and interview his former players so shortly after losing his head coaching job to his own assistant, he handled his firing from the Chicago Bulls in such a classy way, never let it jeopardize his announcing career and remained friends with Michael Jordan.

TRJ2241987 ....Haha. i always paid attention to that too. But i think with Doug being a former all-star player himself, he probably understood that it's a players league and figured "its the business, it is what it is"

Because he knew that the NBA is like all major sports leagues, they take care of those in the club. He could be classy because he knew he'd be taken care of.

Doug is a classy guy! Coached Jordan, Pippen, Horace Grant, Grant Hill, Grant Long, (That's a lot of Grants!!!) Joe Dumars, Allan Houston, Jerry Stackhouse, Andre Iguodala, and Jrue Holiday, just to name a few!

3:46 commentator "I don't see Michael Jordan being a guy who's playing when he's 36 or 37 years old, I don't think he'll enjoy the game..." Jordan seemed to enjoy himself more on the court when he was 40 than at any other time. He could still really play then, too...

First of all, that is Doug Collins speaking, and second of all, Doug ended up being 100% right, Michael retired when he was 35, and came back when he was 38. Exactly as Doug predicted, Michael did not play professional basketball when he was 36 or 37. It's actually incredible that he predicted that correctly.

bcjclj. This. Jordan didnt want to retire, but didnt want to be involved in another rebuilding process at his age. If front office could have worked something out with Phil and Scottie for a couple more years, MJ would have stayed.

You can’t compare this beauty with the traveling, flopping, bandwagon fest that passes for the NBA today. Spurs are outliers.

this version of jordan is the most passionate in terms of on court emotional display. i would say more so than the 84-90 version because he was at his hungriest state of wanting to win it all.

m Khan - I don't think so at all about the Oakley trade. Obviously Cartwright was an absolute mess but they needed his big body to compete against Ewing and all of the other centers in the league. That height difference makes a huge difference in overall weight and strength and Oakley was simply not big enough to not be muscled out of the paint by true bigs.

This is always an extremely funny take. People forget that before LeBron, it was almost a joke how much leeway the refs gave MJ. I remember in an interview Patrick Ewing was asked about a travel call and he said "I guess I just thought I was Michael Jordan for a second". They're both great players, shut the fuck up.

can't tell you how much I appreciate this channel. You're a historian benefitting humanity by uploading these videos.

He beat defenders while skin to skin in the air without effort at this age. It's like watching a movie, even it's just one game he played in that year. Wow. Now lanes are open and no one can touch you, air means freedom. How he could've shown this generation how to play with graceful and smooth moves like defenders do not exist.

I can beat you with my pure shooting, or my court vision, or my athleticism, or my post game, moving without the ball. Not to mention my defense is nonpareil, Just the most complete/Amazing player I've ever seen!

Jordan's mentality was different here at age 28. He wasn't just hitting jumpshots. He was also elevating to the rim because he still could. As he got older his game changed to where he would avoid attacking the rim and instead shoot a jumpshot.

this is prime jordan right here just a pleasure to watch ppl make it like the refs helped jordan out u can see from here this is not the case calling a couple of offensive fouls on him and rightfully so

Great channel. I never tire of watching MJ highlights. Thanks!

Dominating both ends

The Goat! So complete

I love seeing him point at Perdue after the great pass. That started at UNC and I wish more players did it.

i forget how good he really was. Thank goodness for youtube

Frank Brickowski. Now there's an old school sports name. Met up with MJ in the '96 Finals when he was with the Sonics. Matched up with Rodman, and Rodman got all up in his head lol.

Year 1 of the title and Mike was still hungry as ever in Year 6 title. Fucking love it!

There's something about Jordan's hands that its like they're magnetic towards the ball,thats why he's the greatest all-round defensive player ever as well.

Thank you!

Probably my favorite or 2nd favorite version of Mike was 1st 3 peat. Anything before he got too buttoned up

I wish the NBA channel ESPN Fox Sports channel and any other sports channel so Michael Jordan games every single day the goat

If you honestly think Jordan wouldn’t dominate in today league... your delusional

3:52 sort of foreshadowed his career

,and Alvin Robertson had great defense

He was incredible. Kids today dont even know

3:12 3 seconds...4 seconds...5 seconds...

His midrange is wet

What a pass at 3:25

Full Game Footage? Your next channel should be dedicated to Full-Length greatest games from Michael's career.

I've never said "Cash" on contested shots more in my life.

Was Frank Brickowski in that game ?

5:14 the funny irony of that souvenir line is that fans aren’t allowed to keep the balls 🤣

That's the Bulls former coach Doug Collins, and I agree that he had a smidge of hate in him at that point. As soon as he got axed for Phil Jackson the rest was history.

Might as well had been bringing a 🔪 to a 🔫-fight when playing the '91 & '92 bulls title teams. When youre better than every opponent at 4 of the 5 positions on the floor (never had a strong big man), it was gonna be a WRAP 65 out of 82 tries per year.

This is why people need to recognize that the 1st 3 rings was all MJ, then the 2nd 3peat was MJ and Pip - in this game here I'm 91' Pip was in single digit scoring...? Also funny and bizarrely, is Doug and co-commentator foretelling the end-score of this game and Doug foretelling MJ wouldn't play past age 35 and that turned out to be true - MJ retired a final time at age 35 (although 3 years later he came back for that brief stint at the Wiz). Lol, I still think MJ, the better he is, lost a bet, is why he played 2 years with Wiz.
