True, but too sad that is career ended shortly. I mean his best years.

8:32 is exactly why Jordan is the greatest player of all time. This is a regular season game at the start of the season. He goes after the best player on the opposing team without worrying if he gets humiliated. He has 5 championships up until this point! And still doesn’t feel “too cool” to guard someone at maximum effort. Totally different mentality than guys today.

I was a big fan of Finley when he was at Wisconsin. I always thought he had a little bit of Mj' s style of game.

The body, conditioning Jordan had at 35 has been unmatched. Not too bulk, wide, still agile, not huff-in and puffin, quick jump throw down. Can glide and oh yeah the silkiest wet jumper, the likes which is unparalleled.

Sorry kid, all you have is clips on video but you trolls talking shit have no idea how much more aggressive the NBA was nack then to today. Today you fart and get a tech, now go watch a Justin Beeber concert or Lady Gaga 😚

man 'o man jordan's defense was crazy gotta respect the hustle

Finley can ball Jordan showed why he GOAT though

Those MJ fadeaway jumpers are just ridiculously good!

I remember watching this live as a kid and I hard time falling asleep that night. This was pre KZread and DVR, so I could never rewatch the highlights. I went to a friends house whose dad has season tickets that year, and as a thank you gift for being a season ticket holder, the Mavs gave a copy of that game on VHS. I almost stole it but I didn’t, and I’ve regretted that I didn’t take that copy of the game everyday since...until now. Thank you, KZread.

WHAT a game. The intensity and competition from both teams. These are the games where you really don't care who ends up winning, it was so good. I haven't seen anything like this in the past 12 years from the NBA. They need to make MJ (or Joe Dumars or Isiah Thomas) commissioner or the guy who devises the rules, cause these damns lax players of today are getting too much of a free ride. Heck, I ain't a fan, but even Kobe should be commissioner. I'm sick and tired of watching scrimmage games pretending to be regular season, playoff and finals games.

I watched the Finley Jordan one and one to three. I can honestly say Jordan likes Finley and saw him grow up and this was a game from a Chicago kid who watched a legend as he grew up to be a NBA player himself. Nothing but respect and truly honor there.

Had a chance to watch Finley play in high school. He was a beast then....

Jordan's Bulls were so great, that beating them any time of the year, was like a championship victory. They should have made rings just for that occasion. 💍🤣

I remember this game lol. I was 10yrs old

I remember watching this game in Dallas at home with Bob Ortegal and Jim Durham calling the Mavs TV broadcast....I was jumping up and down in my room.. to the point that my mom ran into my room asking what happened... we were the worst franchise in all of sports in the 90s. And these victories were few far between. I remember us being back at my mom's house in 2011 when my mavs won the title... jumping up and down again. True MFFL!! We mavs have come a long way. #lukalegendtime

Dude, the Michaels were on fire that day. I know everyone's mom was watching this.

I remember this game. I was a biggest fan of Michael Jordan but when Mavs won I was so happy.

I was there but my friend wanted to leave early because he had to wake up early. We could have sat in the 2nd row at half court after everyone left. I was so mad at him for that. Never leave early because you never know what will happen.

Oh my, that's Don Nelson, miss that awesome guy. Finley played like Mike, pretty mature play and good fundamental for the young gun. I remember Finley was Mavs' franchise player before Nash and Dirk came along and the Big 3 Days with Finley, Nash and Dirk.

I hated Pippen in '98 dude lost control of his personal issues regarding his contract. He felt he didn't have to play 100% for being underpaid.

The Mavs' first win over the Bulls (with MJ) since December 22nd, 1987.

MF played against MJ 1 on 1 in highschool when MF had his Jerry Curl and he was taking to MJ but of course he didn't win. It's footage of it out there but don't know if it's on the tube. I saw it on TV when I was living in Chicago. I always thought MF was very underrated. You never hear his name when people are talking basketball. Nothing but NBA ballers come from Chicago and Maywood, IL.

Finley was bringing it to Jordan. But notice how Finley kept his composure and didn't get too caught up in a scoring battle trying to out duel Jordan. Finley kept passing the ball to his teammates and that's what ultimately got Dallas the win!

These highlights are fucking amazing!

Finley was a bad mother "trucker" I used to play with him on Sega dream cast his dunks were out of this world..

That was a great game. Finley was really brining it.

Finely started his rookie year off with the Phoenix Suns. The dumbest move made by the Suns was when they traded off Finely and A.C. Green to Dallas

Finley plays like sprewell...

I remember this game. These were the Mavs dark days right before Mark Cuban bought the team.

Love the 90s do need a whole but of dribbling to score

I remember this just like yesterday, I was still in highshcool back then. As a Bulls fans I thought Bulls not gonna won that year, I mean Bulls in 96 and 97 was so tough to beat and in this game they got beat by Maverick which was not a good team that time. Ah that 4th quarter..

I like Finely when he was with the Suns he flourish with the Mavs tho

Bro the defense against Jordan. Like they really tried to stop him.

I never thought Michael Finley was this good back in the day! But I would still choose Jordan if it's winning time!
