Michael Jordan's life-saving dunk from Space Jam gets a deep rewind
Vložit

- Everyone remembers Michael Jordan's arm-stretching dunk from the end of Space Jam. How could you not? It was the most important play of his career, since it saved him and the characters of Looney Tunes from lifetime imprisonment on Moron Mountain.
But do you remember everything behind that moment? Do you remember how Jordan's opponents, the Monstars, built their team? Do you remember how Jordan ended up in Tune World in the first place? Do you remember the unsung clutch hero of this event: Bill Murray?
This literally incredible play needs a deep rewind to be fully appreciated.

MESSAGE ON BEHALF OF SB NATION: we do not view Michael Jordan’s accomplishments as something to fool about. Other than his choice of jeans, we find nothing about him to goof on. This is a serious look at an event that changed the world - nay - the universe as we know it.
Also our actual April Fool's goof was when Seth pantsed Will in front of everyone and it absolutely killed. Y'all should've seen it. Ok love you bye!
SB Nation ok love you bye bye is Anamainiacs!!!
Why was their no collapse episode yesterday?
I love you too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SB Nation lol thank you
SB Nation I needed this
Why are people claiming this is an April Fools Joke? This is the moment MJ became the GOAT. He lead the greatest comeback in Sports History.
And saved the Looney Tunes from a true alien invasion.
Meanwhile, Lebron is still saving his career in Space Jam 2.
The Real Jay Stone but the man couldn’t save snoop dogg and his lakers
2016 finals?????
True
“Bill Murray saved MJ’s legacy” - Nick Wright
This is LeShannon's new counterargument
😂😂😂
Straight facts
This is an all time great YT comment
Bless you good sir
Michael Jordan one of the most dedicated actors of all time. He played 11 seasons in the nba and won 4 championships to prepare for this role.
Method acting 😂
That last shot by MJ should've been worth 3 points and resulted in The Tune Squad winning by 2. This lack of an additional point may not have seemed like a lot to the casual fan or players of the game, has a win is a win. However, it shifted millions of dollars in Vegas bets to the point my family lost our house due to our father taking the over
Life altering consequences, my dude.
That’s a really small under, it’s almost as if the sports bettors knew it was a movie
sounds like a you problem
It wasn't a three because, apart from betting his life, MJ bet his patrimony on under. That how he got enough money to purchase the Hornets. true story
Jordan's game winner was technically a 3 but he was only awarded 2 points, shady officiating by Mr. Martian indeed.
Yep if a move like that was actually possible it would be a 3
Fact. That dude was more corrupt than tim donaghy
@@mauriciosanchez9399 Hard to do but you're not wrong 😂

Thank you for treating this near-apocalyptic event with the seriousness it deserves. The media downplays it, the government covers it up, but we all know who saved us.

I don't think you can blame aliens for not having a solid grasp of NBA level talent. I think as far as the team goes the build was pretty decent for the era. You're looking at it from todays pace and space style of play which is just ridiculous.
In the mid 90s having Bradley fill the center spot and sliding Ewing and Barkley down to PF and SF respectively is a legit plan. With Jordan having a near 100% usage rate for this game, clogging the lane with tough bigs seems like a good strategy; MJ has never been the greatest 3pt shooter and it only really failed because Bugs got on a hot streak in the 2nd half, which they could've never have predicted.
Also they didn't scout Bill Murray because he wasn't included in the original roster and at the age of 44 with no track record of athletic talent, nobody knew he was an NBA ready distributor with exceptional court vision and handles. The Monstars just couldn't have planned for that.
Let's be honest as well, the refereeing in this game was so biased. Jordan literally crushes an opponents skull to make this dunk. In the replay you can clearly hear the cranium shattering as he stamps on his forehead... Different era I suppose though, things were tougher back then.
Ultimately, this game will forever be marred in controversy for the 'secret stuff' scandal. In all honesty, the Toon Squad lucked out being sandwiched in between the WWE steroid trials and the high point of the MLB steroid era in the late 90s. Fans had just had too much of it at this point and were apathetic to the whole process. Say what you will about David Stern but how he managed to sweep this under the rug, I will never know.
This comment needs more likes.

Yeah, except that the Monstars chose their targets before they knew that MJ was going to be involved on the game. So, their plan working on some level was just random chance more than good planning.
Brilliant.
This is the comment I needed.
@@CSLucasEpic Exactly, the aliens didn't even NEED elite NBA talent to beat the Toons, since this was before they recruited (kidnapped) MJ onto their side, so any NBA talent should have been enough. I.............just realized we are both taking this video way too seriously. lmao
So that’s why the Rockets won those two titles. The Monstars didn’t touch Hakeem. 😂😂😂
He finally became the best
I heard they took John Starx powers during game 7
@@forzaacmilan36 too soon
Monstars: *throw tweety into a wall*

"You're all washed up, baldy!"
@@mileshammond6055 baldy!!
The spanish version of just this part was more epic for me because they called themselves the nightmare team. Just sounded cooler.
11:17 "On the surface Marvin seems like he'd be an impartial official. He is after all both space alien and loony tune". Huh, I never considered that before. Maybe the writers of "Space Jam" should get more credit for the script.
You didn’t get that? I realized that joke years ago, but every time I explain it everyone looks at me like I am explaining some sort of secret.
MJ himself said it best during his Hall of Fame induction speech: “Despite all of my NBA accomplishments, my biggest one will always be Space Jam.”
I mean come on that shot... only MJ could do something like that
Anthony Baratta lebron is about to do something like that
@@jiwangill1055 Lebron may do "something like what MJ did", but he will always be 2nd fiddle to MJ.
The only reason why they are making Space Jam 2 is to secure Lebron's legacy, which fell short, especially for someone labeling themselves "The GOAT".
All these fools thinking SB nation didn't intentionally upload this video three days late.
"shady officiating by an individual with a checkered past" LOL
“Yosemite Sam exploited Toon World’s archaic Stand Your Ground laws”

Hold on.... Elmer Fudd was also in on that too
He would be perfect for Florida.

The most underrated part of this movie is at the end when Shawn Bradley tells Michael Jordan "He probably doesn't even have it anymore" about MJ's basketball talents when he was still set on not playing NBA basketball anymore. Without that moment in history MJ never returns to play basketball and the Bulls never endure their second 3-peat.
Shawn Bradley contributed more to NBA history than the average eye can see

Multiple takes
Seth is that good. People crap on...pretty much every producer who isn't Jon Bois, but this dude is legit and this video proves it.
I wish we could see more behind the scenes footage of this incredible game in the last dance documentary.
I heard Jordan and Bugs had a falling out so that's why he didn't want to talk about it during the interviews
Brett Knepper rumours have it that he took it personally and that was the exact motivation he needed for the second three peat.
@@brettknepper974 Not really. They kept in touch via MCI, although then MCI was absorbed into WorldCom and the company went belly up...
"Pepe Lepieux flummoxed the defense with his stinky ass" is the best single sentence ever spoken in an SB Nation video
...But a couple things pushed him away from his baseball career. One was the looming major league baseball strike. The other was while golfing with his buddies Larry Bird and Bill Murray, he was lassoed by Yosemite Sam and tortured by looney tunes characters.
*Yeah I can see how that could interrupt a career*
Cole Straughn 😂🤣
This was my favorite line of the whole thing. Brilliantly executed.
I love the focus on how The Monsters did not think about forming a good team.
"MJ loves a bet"- This is SB's Mr. Holland's Opus
The 62-18 lead the monstarz gave up should be a “collapse” episode or a “the worst” episode
Jokes aside, Collapse is for teams who fall down over a period of several years (and usually have yet to fully recover). The Worst implies something fundamentally awful about the event, and while those who reject Space Jam's cult-classic status might believe it qualifies, that is a matter of debate. This is a choke, and Rewinder is probably the format best suited for such an event.
The 9 points given up in zero game time elapsed flies under the radar
The Monstars went from almost winning it all to fading into obscurity all in one game. Sounds like a pretty massive collapse.
I'd love to see a COLLAPSE on Spanish soccer team Alavés. A team that went from a Europa League final appearance to dropping to 2nd, coming back to the 1st division, then dropping to 2nd and even 2nd B in less than 10 years. They needed 6 years to come back but they're on 1st division once again.
Also, they almost won that freaking Europa League final, they lost against Liverpool because of an unlucky own goal in extra time. From the 2nd biggest match in European club soccer to playing a regional league (2ª B in Spain is divided into 4 individual groups, with teams only playing against their "neighbors") dominated by stadiums with less than 10k seats, some with under 4k.
1995 Suns vs Knicks. Very important game for the 1995 playoffs and chase for number 1 seed.
2019 Suns vs Knicks. Very important game for the 2019 chase for a number 1 pick in the draft.
Oh how the mighty have fallen.
neither of them won lol
2021 suns vs knicks. Both good teams again
@@giagonzalez489 Yes, ma'am. That's a change i can believe in (but only in the Suns case).
This is why Jordan is GOAT. He saved the world from aliens with Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Taz, Tweety Bird, and Bill Murray as his teammates.
And NEWMAN
I saw this on my recommended multiple times and was skeptical. I stand corrected. I watched the whole thing. It was fantastic.
John Lehman thats exactly how I felt. Thought it was gonna be stupid. Instead it was spectacular.
Honestly the most chilling moment in sports history
The monstars blew a kinda one sided it isn't-18 lead
Seriously. Kinda makes the Falcons choke job look reasonable.
Kinda one sided isn't it-18*
Facts
8:30
"The Monstars got cocky"
...That's all you had to say. _Y'all know how MJ takes things personal._
“That’s all he needed.”
8:50 was KD against the Warriors in the WCF.
Robert Williams and then he came to the Warriors cause if you’re options are beat the best or join the best....you might as well just be smart.
Underrated comment bro😂😂. Nailed it
Bruuuh 😄😄😄💀
Accurate 🤣
Why is everyone even saying “Is tHiS aN ApRil FoOlz??” Who cares, this is the greatest moment in sports
To be fair the monstars didn't have great scouting because they weren't from this world
True I was thinking they probably just went for the easy pickings.
It was actually a brilliant little detail that they didn't scout Jordan because he was technically a baseball player at the time. All they did was scout the current players.
You thought NBA analysts were clueless? Wrong! They're paid to disseminate the wildest predictions based on one game performances so any aliens watching pick the most dysfunctional squad and the loonies preserve their freedom again.
They asked Mel Kiper who to pick
Seth playing this so straight just makes me love him even more 😍
“Yosemite Sam exploited Tune World’s archaic stand your ground laws...”
I’m extremely happy they touched upon this part. Tune World has never had a mass shooting nor had anyone technically “die” from a gunshot, so that’s why their gun laws are equivalent to the Wild West’s. If this game took place on the Earth’s surface, there’s no doubt that Sam would have been immediately arrested and that the Tunes Squad would have been disqualified. Excellent research!
Late April fool's or not, I still greatly love this.
AProblemSituation this is no April fools joke, this moment is when Jordan became a legend
I figured it was a late April Fools video.
AProblemSituation it’s more like a joke video than a April fools joke video
Was this supposed to be uploaded on April Fool’s Day?
this is no joke... ;P
HolyShitBabyJesusIsOnFire likely a copyright hold that screwed the release WB is known for that kind of crap
IMHO it works better by NOT uploading on April Fool's.
it was actually supposed to be uploaded this Saturday but we finished early so posted it today. not sure why you'd associate a serious work of art with a day meant for goofs but whatever

This is probably the best researched rewinder. Job well done.
Now, this is the *important stuff* thank you so much SB Nation
Deleted Scene of the Last Dance: MJ: When the Monstars called me Chicken, Baldy, and folded me into a ball, I took that personally. Also, John Stockon was a Falk client along with Mourning and Dikembe.
I remember watching this game when I was younger, truly and incredible moment in sports history, glad you made a video on it! Awesome job!
bra i still got it on vhs and show my sons it yearly....they didnt know bill murray was not only funny but can actually hoop and helped jordan defeat the monstars

Love the Steven Crowder reference @Insolent Crow.
According to Basketball-Reference. The Nuggets and Jazz played a game three days after the Suns/Knicks game. The nerdlucks really missed out here since they could have stolen the talents of Malone, Stockton, and Mutombo at once. Mutombo was at his peak in 1995.
with Falk as Stockton and Mutombo's agent, that could have been realistic too
This was the best episode of The Last Dance
Never clicked on a video faster than this one.
now i know why duke lost.
RJ Barrett and Zion's talents were stolen for space jam 2
big Chungs is the true star and he will carry them to the finals
As any farker will tell you, Duke lost because Duke sucks.
They wouldn't steal college players skills. Moron. Guess we know where you work.... moron mountain
This is one of the best videos I've ever seen in my life.
To people who think this is an April Fools joke, it was released on April 4th
“Yosemite sam exploited tuneworlds’ archaic stand your ground laws”. ROFL 🤣
Adam Ausaw that killed me bro 😂😂😂
I bout died laughing at this one
Stand your ground seems pretty reasonable. If a man pulls a gun on you and your daughter and you decide to pull your gun and kill him first. You should not be held responsible, you should be given a medal. If stand your ground is used on unarmed people (no sharp tool or gun) then yes its overused, but that's not what it is about.
Kept a straight face, uploaded 3 days after April fools, impressive.
I remember seeing this game live. I had chills.
This is a treat for the real fans bc it hits way harder after watching a bunch of normal rewinds
Who else watched the entire video like you haven't seen Space Jam over 100 times
Why is everyone on SB Nation about this being late for April Fools? This is the single greatest moment in sports, what are you talking about?
"it's almost as if that super agent we saw before represents all of these players and orchestrated their inclusion."
[looks at camera]
seriously, good job keeping a straight face thru this. that may be the most impressive part.
Finally, you give us insight on an actual *important* event
This is the earliest i've ever been in a "SB Nation" video!
I hate it too when videos uploading lag and upload 3 days later....
this is why I manually upload.
Looks like SBN needs to upgrade from their 56k modem.
yikes buddy
This is the greatest rewind I’ve ever seen ..and I’m a true Sports fan ! Thanks for making every 90’s baby smile 😊
The way that you combine real events with the events of the movie is just *chef’s kiss*
You mean the documentary
"To understand Charles Barkley's convulsions after getting his talents sapped by the Monstars, we need to do a Deep Rewind."
This might be the greatest thing that I've ever seen.
You have no idea how much I needed this right now.
"Friends, this is why you need a strong union..."
LeBron James would've just passed the ball to Murray.

Best work yet. Best video yet. Cannot be topped. Never make another video again, you have done it. You have reached the peak of excellence. Everything after this cannot compare to this beautiful work of art. 10/10 - "Will watch again."
This is the greatest. Thanks for making this video.

With a strong enough magnet, frogs have been known to float in mid-air.

This might be the first SB Nation video in the Jon Bois era to not have the comment section spammed with people begging for Jon Bois. I would like to thank SB Nation for giving this epic dunk the credit it deserves, and for bringing me back to beloved movie from my childhood. Well done!

Such a dark moment in history that could have turned out terrible for all of humanity...thank you for reminding us all of how Jordan isn't just a great basketball player, he defeated aliens who might have come for us all after the toons were conquered. God bless Michael Jordan
They could have saved a lot of money on animation and just replace the Monstars with the Bad Boy Pistons. Maybe they just didn't want MJ to get hurt
