Marv Alpert's, "From Downtown!" Used to have me on the edge of my seat. This is when the NBA ruled the airwaves. I don't think it will ever be the same again.
MJ's toughest playoff series averaging 30.2/8.0/2.3 shooting just under 40%. Out of 51 career playoff series, that was his "worst" statistically. Not too bad lol
@@NotAnAstronaut2k Or there's the series right before the heat ECF which was the '97 ECSF vs ATL where he averaged 26.6/10.2/5.2 with 2.0 SPG and 1.4 BPG shooting 46% from the field taking out ATL in 5. That's the other "worst" statistical performance MJ had out of his 51 playoff series appearances. I'm not sure which one is considered lower, but both series performances are phenomenal In any era, and those are his worst lol. Obviously pointing out how Michael was so far above everyone, especially when the postseason came around.
2 mins of these are much more engaging than full games of today's 3 point contest league lol smh. so sad tbh cuz i loved watching pure basketball ever since.. it's not the same anymore
The game Jordan burned his legs out on the golf course the day before (plus some night life activities maybe?), couldn't make a shot for 3 quarters, still turned it on in the 4th and almost won it...built different
I've been wanting the NBA to return to NBC for decades. HOWEVER, (still optimistic it doesn't happen) I don't want the NBA to leave TNT. ESPN has enough sports, they can do without the NBA. TNT does the NBA better justice than ESPN, in my opinion.
Killer crossover! 3:50, Tim Hardaway always forgotten in the all time great PG's.. what couldve been if he stayed healthy throughout his career, he was special early on
I love listening to these modern day kids try to discredit MJ on social media saying he never went left or used left lmao. I watched him do it 100 times in the video. 😂
Facts... Jordan AND Pippen were amazing with their left, they were so fluid that sometimes you'd only notice on the replay that they finished with their left on a dunk or layup... Jordan even took left handed free throws in games for FUN!

I honestly couldn't say the last Heat game I attended was 2003 to see MJ play one last time with the Wizards, I know around that time the league had the Heat paint their yellow lower level seats a different color because the lack of attendance was so visible. The old arena was such a great place to watch a basketball game the upper level hung over the lower level so the front row uppers had better views than the back aisles in the lower bowl and it was loud, also great views for Panthers Hockey when they shared the Arena.
@@fredmehr-sx2kg Oh wau! That experience must have been amazing! Consider yourself lucky! And thanks for that information! I've actually always wondered why the team changed seats after the 1st (half) season at the new arena and why they dimmed the lighting. That explains everything. Even though I think the new arena was (and still is) among the most spectacular arenas and the old one was ugly, the fact that it was so small probably increased the noise. I was a Heat fan back then because I was a Zo fan and felt bad that the Heat lost in 99 and 2000 to the Knicks, which they should have beaten both years. .
Yes before the condo boom and gentrification of Downtown Miami, it was a few tall office towers like what you see in Cleveland, St. Louis or Detroit. I actually liked it better like this.
@@mattnorcia5593 Miami's city skyline from the 90s almost reminds me of Cleveland's skyline of today. The Freedom tower in Miami almost is like a mini Terminal tower in Cleveland IMO. Brickell didn't even have that many buildings back then. Not only that, Miami was founded by native Clevelanders (the Tuttle and Brickell family were from Cleveland). No joke look it up. It's like Cleveland went to the tropics. Both cities are divided in half by an industrial river (what once was). Historically speaking, Miami is the spawn of Cleveland.
After Mourning hit Pippen with the elbow, the Bulls were a different team. It became personal. Good on Miami to play for pride and not get eliminated at home but the series was over next game.
The game for the Heat to "win or go home by sweep." Miami had a huge lead in g1, emphasized on defense until GOAT took over again for the win. Games 2,3, and subsequent 5 were cruise control for the Bulls. It's a surprise Brian Williams (later Bison Dele) was a free agent at the start of the 1996-97 season. Almost three years prior, he played a huge part in fairy tale-like run with Denver in 1994 Playoffs. The Bulls signed him to fortify the frontline and perhaps an insurance against the reloaded Knicks, again the ideal Bulls counterpart in 1997 ECF. Dele's stock obviously rose and signed with the Pistons the next year. Having huge guaranteed money could cost his life, reportedly disposed in the vast Pacific Ocean and never to be found. Thoughts and prayers for him and a companion.
He scored 28 on 31 shots and 4 turnovers. Can we stop with the embellishments. I lived through it and own all these games on disc. He had a below avg game Its okay to admit that.
@@jmar5127 embellish what? I didn't say he was absolutely perfect shooting the ball in game 5. His mindset taking it personally was contagious amongst the rest of his teammates and there's no way he was gonna let Miami take another game that series after what Zo did in game 4. Miami's strategy was to muddy up the game, it's really not that surprising his shooting numbers were down a little bit that series but ultimately it didn't matter. He wasn't afraid to keep shooting and keep contributing in other ways as they still won the closeout game rather comfortably.

David Stern helped the Heat get past the Knicks and robbed the fans of a 6-7 ECF series between the Bulls and Knicks…and yes, I’m just a bitter Knicks fan. Miss this era of the NBA (Knicks or no Knicks)
Man, you think back to the 97 Magic, injury ravaged, and yet Penny almost carried them to a miraculous first round upset over these Heat. If the Magic hadn't bungled the Shaq free agency (offering an insulting initial contract offer below 100 million, when Mourning had just gotten over that), the Magic could have made a run.
This is perfect example of how it went. Heat , out in 1st round, 2nd round, made it to conference finals. Eventually winning with d wade and Shaq and dem.
Interesting game by MJ. It looks like he just played at about 50% effort for the first three quarters, maybe just to make the 4th quarter interesting. To go from shooting 2/22, then hit his next 7 of 9, or whatever it was, just strikes me as a form of gamesmanship. You could argue that to blow through sweeping your opponents actually diminishes the season, making it easier to argue that the league lacked competition for the dynasty Bulls. Jordan always loved to build drama, developing a story within a game or series, for his legacy and to keep himself interested. They didn’t always pan out, but when you’re up 3-0, it’s no sweat.
for anyone who says lebron is the goat, pay attention to this video. the way jordan played in the first half, lebron wouldve quit. jordan wasnt a quitter. this is why hes the goat.. not just the stats, the will to win
