i was born and raise in new york city. i live not too far from madison square garden and i love michael jordan. he's my favorite player and will always be. and i miss watching him killing the knicks. Especially at the garden.
This is 95-96 MJ...65% b-ball player 35% baseball player still. He didn’t get back into his full basketball body til late the next season. Then gave us an encore final season in Chicago the next year ‘98.
@3:03, The way he effortlessly and quickly faked Anthony Mason just dribbling with his left...making a great defender look like he's nothing. @ 3:17, fadeaway shot on a closed angle and over the backboard, making it look easy.@5:15, dribbling ability...effortlessly...
LOL I love lebron too and he puts on shows after basketball shows almost every time he comes to the garden But yeah man, lebron should've brought a championship to cleveland. He would've been much more respected and appreciated had he stayed with the cavaliers and done it for his home state. But hey a win is a win and he did earned the finals mvp award. He's the best baller right now.
All this LeBron crap going on now like Jordan never mattered in the GOAT conversation. Man this man could do it all. Kobe followed. LeBron's demeanor doesn't make him the GOAT, he's passive. Smart, passer, and strong. But no Fluid play to the game. CZcams MJ and Kobe's games (ALL) and you will see the difference than LBJ.
All that LeBron carp is from his delusional ass Fan-Boys. People who really knows the Game know wassup! Michael Jeffery Jordan is hands down the GREATEST basketball player I've ever seen. And I'll also go as far as calling him the greatest athlete of All-time as well.
Ridiculous lefty layup at 8:23. The speed with which he subtly changes directions there is crazy -- he's sorta facing sideways then knifes his body the other way to lay it up.
Probably just misspoke. Michael seemed larger than life at times, but I wouldn't mistake him for 7 feet. Would have been more accurate to say Jordan seemed 6-8 or 6-9 with his wingspan and jumping ability. Though by this game Jordan was no longer a high flyer.
The greatest I've ever seen play the game of basketball!

No...Kobes nowhere near MJ.
Never has been.
M.J. = G.O.A.T.
Jordan was praying John Starks would go up with him and try to block that dunk. Stark was dumb but he wasn't that dumb.
NBAGOATS
Damn right lol

I like it when MJ shake hands with Phil after a winning game
@8:08
Damn, how many times Jordan dunked on Ewing? Damn!!
Blow out game against the Knicks without Scottie Pippen...wow...
This is 95-96 MJ...65% b-ball player 35% baseball player still.
He didn’t get back into his full basketball body til late the next season.
Then gave us an encore final season in Chicago the next year ‘98.
mj scored at will♥ despite the odds.
Put This Game On NBA TV Hardwood Classic On TV
A real step back at 3:05

LOL! I love how the video is edited at 8:28 to make it seem like the Knicks color commentator is in awe of MJ's driving shifting layup at 8:23.
8:38 - 8:46 thats what LeChoke James need to do after the game is finish.
That dunk on 7:30 it is just so rare!! I don't remember that play!!

LOL That extra dribble MJ took at 7:51 threw Starks timing the fuck off.
Yes!! thank you for another video, foremily23!!
@jordanlover23 Yeah that is sick. I replayed that 10 times and still can't figure it out how he got throught the players and made layup.
Do you have this game in full? Would love a copy - thanks
The game winning play is impressive. At 3:55sh, the video shot from the side-lines is marginally just as impressive. John played nobly throughout.

Damn, I remember watching this game... I used to HATE Jeff Van Gundy SO much.
people think he's 7 feet he's only 6" what is walt talking about?
Aaron Gottfried was thinking the same lol. I'll give Walt the benefit of the doubt & presume he meant 6'6".

shake and bake.
