Michael Jordan vs. Isiah Thomas | True Highlights (Offense, Defense, Missed Shots, etc)

Спорт

The Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls had one of the greatest rivalries in sports history during the Michael Jordan and Isiah Thomas years.
The year is 1989, and it is the Eastern Conference Finals. Isiah Thomas and his Pistons have yet to win an NBA championship, but have made the NBA Finals previously (the year before). The Bulls, led by Jordan, are looking for make their first finals during the Jordan-era. Detroit is up 3-2 in the series and the Lakers are waiting for the winner. Detroit is attempting to close out the series on the road in Chicago Stadium.
This video will showcase two legendary guards -- Jordan and Thomas -- going at it in game 6 of the 1989 ECF. All of their highlights (not just their made field goals) will be showcased in this thorough highlight video.
Enjoy!

    The Pistons were the nastiest team in team competitions ever. How MJ made it through that era and still be alive was pure will, courage, and determination. He was punished and murdered every night when he went up against the Pistons, and he still gave them respect and never deterred or anything like wanting to quit. That's what made him the 🐐 of all times. No players ever had to go through anything like it.

    Thomas always had the more loaded team, even in the year he got swept by Bulls, so I don't blame Jordan for losing to Pistons a lot. In 88, Pistons had Thomas, Dumas and Dantly, 3HOFers. In 89 & 90, Dantly was gone but Aguirre joined and Rodman matured into DPOY and became an all star. All Jordan had during those years was an under-development Pippen. Once Pippen matured in 90s, there's no looking back. In 91 Bulls with only 2 HOFers in Jordan & Pippen swept Pistons w/ 3 HOFers in Thomas, Dumas and Rodman. And there goes the myth that Jordan never beat a super loaded team.

    Yes Jordan is the ultimate goal but nobody could beat Thomas and the Bad Boys in their prime. Up until 91 they looked a lot better than this on the court against the Bulls. Just saying picking clips doesn't show the the whole game even though you stayed Fair on both ends, it was way more lopsided in real life up until the 91 series. Detroit who got robbed of a three-peat by the Lakers in 88 we're unstoppable for those years.

The nba changed the rules about flagrant/tossing players out fairly easily for this at the end of their run, this is the real reason the pistons walked off the court with time on the clock vs bulls, it was basically protest against a softer and softer more and more pro offense nba, and it appears they were right bc the nba today is boring as hell...and just look at "migraine headache pippen" showing his cards early in career LoLz

It is unfortunate that Scottie never came back from that so early accidental elbow hit in the forehead by Laimbeer. Scottie decided not to comeback but rather played nintendo games in the locker room. And this game, is the first of the back to back championships of the well known, "bad boy's " of Detroit.

It made it even more enjoyable to watch him because he was just 6’1”, and putting people on skates both big & small!!

And you're commenting on a clip from '89, in which he averaged 8.0 assists that year vs 3.4 turnovers, which is one of the best assist to turnover ratios for a 2 guard in NBA history. The more people try and trash on Jordan, the farther they drift into the fact-free zone to do it. 3.4 turnovers that year and he's a "turnover machine." Hate to break it to you but Isiah averaged 3.7 that year, which makes your post even more ridiculous.

Michael Jordan himself said , he had to change . He lifted weights & he started passing to teammates and trusting them more when he would get double teamed. Instead on diving into the lane with 3 people in his way. He learned with the triangle 🔺️ offense that gave him better passing lanes . To let his teammates be more effective with passes put of the lane. Like when Paxon , Kerr, Armstrong hit key wide open shoots. He needed a LeBron to learn from . He would have taught him quicker.
