Fun Fact: Game 6 of 1998 NBA finals is still the highest rated and most watched NBA game in history
I still don’t get why though. How come?
@@the_boss2194 lol
I believe that. I watch it regularly even now. and it includes rewinding and watching certain parts again.
@@the_boss2194 everyone knew he was retiring and this was the last dance. Loss averse theory
@@the_boss2194 MJ was already regarded as the GOAT and the world wanted to watch his last game of the dynasty he built.
Those last few minutes from MJ is probably the most focused and determined I've ever seen him in his career, and that's saying ALOT. he was on 100 defensively and offensively
@@Aphexrain38 what foul?
@@Aphexrain38 that's not soft era back the days Jordan at his prime you talking about? So what is your point?🤣
dude why are you so bad at football as america? Although it is the most watched sport in the world
@@nicksugoi9366 lol very true. Just Jordan being the greatest that's all.
@@nicksugoi9366 not a soft era but jordan got sent to the free throw line on 2 soft plays
One of the greatest "Fine..I'll do it myself" moments in entrie nba history..
And that he did
Lillard vs okc was better

this wasn't a wild ending this was a masterpiece of an ending by the Greatest of all Time - Michael Jordan
Foul merchant bricking multiple shots and landed two and one was a layup lol gtfoh

@@thouzer47.58 “bricking multiple shots” lol he made the 3 most clutch plays in the game foh
@@thouzer47.58 Who you think he was gonna throw it to? Everybody on his team was fucking tired and Scottie could barely do anything with his back, Jordan had 45 in an 87-86 game, he was basically half the team so you gtfoh
@@thouzer47.58 He hit his shots when it matter the most. Lol swoosh
I remember watching this in my living room on that Sunday afternoon in ‘98... For those that never watched MJ play in person, he was just different. He had that intangible about him that was unbelievable.
You’re lucky man I wish I could’ve watched the GOAT play but I got to watch grown man cry about getting a fingernail on their arm 😂
The game was played on a Sunday.
@@fml5910 you are right I stand corrected 👍🏻
@@crossoneheart Thank you.
Never got to see it live (too young) but all I can imagine is Michael Phelps ‘08 when I think about MJ. Or Barry Bonds. Or Tom Brady but that’s it
When the shot is so iconic you forget he dropped 45pts.
On very low efficiency, sure
@@eruptrl8893 good enough for a championship 🤷♂️
@@eruptrl8893 42% FG 15-35 (3-7 3pt), 12-15 free throws, 1 assist, 4 steals, 1 turnover. That's pretty efficient in comparison to everyone else on the courts stats in a close out championship game. You don't know shit about basketball.
@@eruptrl8893 what low efficiency? 3/7 for three (43%) is a low efficiency? or 12/15 from FT (80%)? He made 15 shots on a good 43 percent, with a few made threes. Its game 6 of the finals with extremely tough defense, use your brain! thats a terrifick game
@@eruptrl8893 gawd delete your comment ahahaha
The FREETHROWS
The LAYUP
The STEAL
The CROSSOVER
The LAST SHOT
The LAST OFFENSIVE FAUL
@@ovulcazz not a soft NBA era, kid.
The GOAT
@@ovulcazz the game wasn't soft then. It was a touch not a push it just look like a push.
@@ovulcazz No, it wasn't. I actually used to think it was, but the physics of it would be impossible. Jordan would have to have superhuman strength to push him right while heading back left. It's actually not even close to a foul if you think about it in terms of physics. Russell just slipped from the crossover and Jordan happened to be waving his arm that way when Russell fell.
Jordan stopped so many legends from getting a championship. Just adds to his greatness. Undisputed GOAT.
While the self proclaimed goat surrendered 6 rings.
mj proclaimed himself as the goat as well
It’s literally Lebron
@@ChickenJoe788it’s LITERALLY NOT AT ALL
@@ChickenJoe788you literally need psychiatric treatment
I watched Jordan win his first championship in '91 against Magic, and his last in' 98 vs Malone. I watched him win all 6 finals MVPs. I watched him dominate the league for the better part of the 90s. I watched young Kobe and young LeBron come out of high school and become instant superstars that went on to win multiple championships. But you can never convince that anyone was better than MJ.
It’s getting closer and closer
@@mikef6429 Not really. MJ’s was the complete package. The best finisher in the game and his defense was as superb as his offense also. MJ is the only guard ranks top 5 in both steals and blocks amongst all guards who ever played the game. He also was the first player ever to record 200 steals and 100 blocks in the same season and he did that twice. The man was different.
@@cabalogia all I’m going to say is, 2013 LeBron James is the greatest player I’ve ever watched play basketball. Believe what you want
@@mikef6429 obviously you never watched MJ back in the day. You must be a gen z or millenial. Fun fact for you MJ had more 40 point games in his career than 20 or less point games. Later bro✌🏼
@@cabalogia wanna talk scoring? fun fact, LBJ is all time scoring leader.
Everyone remembers the shot. Few remember the steal. Michael Jordan is the best ever. He had it all.
Malone fell
@@dagaybrucewayneWhat?
MJ swatted the ball away from Malone, causing him to lose his balance. It was a steal. Haters gonna hate.@@dagaybrucewayne
@@jordanredman Yeah and the nigga fell, what do you fuckers not get
@@dagaybrucewayne yup. Folded under pressure. Bulls fan. Respect.
That “Jordan open Chicago with the lead” so iconic
Ends the game with a clutch interception, 2 free throws nothing but net, steals the ball, and ends off with a game winning shot for the 3rd swish in a row. Those 2 defensive plays are the hardest to do in pro basketball let alone making those shots under so much pressure. The GOAT indeed.
@@2bb-2 Lmfao soft @ss 😂🤡
@@2bb-2 not a foul at all, lol! But it's okay though, I get it.
One game doesn’t make someone the GOAT
@@eruptrl8893 Nobody said it did
@@2bb-2 What foul??
04:10 The sportsmanship from Rodman to help an opponent get up! Wow! In an NBA Finals game! That was cool to see.
It was cool to see the 2 legends with a lot of respect for each other
What Jordan did in those last 80+ seconds was incredible. Look at those hall of famers for Utah. The GOAT
Jordan is the best player in clutch situations that I have ever seen. If he doesn't make that then there probably is a game 7 and then who really knows what happens then?
There’s only 2 hall of famers in the jazz bro😂
@@notrelentless1630 only 2 HALL OF FAMERS lol
Jordan literally scored all of their last points by creating his own shot on them
As a Jazz fan, we are still salty but MJ is the GOAT. I just wish we had double teamed him and made anyone else take the final shot.
I'm a french woman; and when i discovered MJ in 1991, Basketball bacame a passion...I ordered video tapes from USA just to watch him play...I cried my eyes out when he played his last game. He's the GOAT, and stop comparing Lebron or Kobe: Michael Lordan was unreachable, and will remain so. GOAT forever, his Airness.
MJ is the best player I've ever seen. I would never say GOAT only because my memory of NBA goes back to only about 1978. The bigger the game the better he seemed to play. Plus Lebron's teams only won about half of the NBA final round series. Jordan won in that round every single time. Kobe was great but he was no Jordan.
T'as de bon goût
True. Only 1 Goat. That is MJ❤
I still get chills.
I didn't understand basketball much at 6 yrs. old, but this Finals made me a fan for life.
This forever immortalized Jordan as the GOAT. No one else will ever be the GOAT aside from him.
Will never forget watching this as a kid. Iconic moments in the history of the game.
I was 8 and will never forget it
I was negative 2 and I’ll never forget this game😂
Never bored me.. Happy to watch this live during my teens.. im 40 yrs old now. And still grace to watch..
I’m most impressed by him not being discouraged after missing multiple shots miss or make he goes out swinging and always played his game !!!
THE GOAT, the man of the 90s.
This is poetry in motion; a moving picture in a frame….Undoubtedly the single greatest moment in NBA Finals history. The last play of the last shot of the last championship game of the greatest basketball player that ever was and ever will be. Six for six, six and zero in all Finals appearances, second three-peat, by far the greatest defensive dynasty team that ever was. My God how magical the 90’s were, if you didn’t see it and experience these games live as they happened, you simply just don’t know how unbelievable Michael Jordan was. You had to see it to believe it. Pure absolute magic in every possession of MJ’s career. These Bulls teams were so likable and so much fun to root for and be a part of every single game they played was a roller coaster ride of excitement. This moment absolutely solidified the fact that Michael Jordan is and always will be the greatest of all time for all time!
💯💯💯
That ankle breaker is so iconic.
shove off
“Ankle breaker.”
Nahh dawg 😂
Beautiful shot though
@@YEDxYED 5:42 that’s not an ankle breaker to you.
It was a shove
@@PulledFLFGBANDFLFSV that's championship 🤣🤣🤣
Anyone else notice that Utah ran the same action in four of their last five possessions??? Down screen from Hornacek for Malone, Hornacek clears out, taking his defender with him. Opens the floor for Malone to work. Mike saw that four straight times! So what he does on the fifth time they run that action? Never goes with Hornacek cause he knew that the Jazz offense flows through Malone, catches Karl by surprise with the strip. MJ’s defensive IQ was superb!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The 10 Most Dirtiest NBA Players of all Time
By Solomon Njoroge, 7. John Stockton, 5. Karl Malone
5:29 One of the most memorable plays in sports history. Wins the ball and shoots the winner. Michael Jordan is a true sporting legend 🏀
I like seeing Rodman pick up Stockton @4:12. Those guys had battles and respected each other. A lot different today
Michaels style, his grace, his elegance was impeccable. That’s what made him great in my opinion. It’s like watching Gene Kelly dance; like Miles Davis playing the trumpet.
MJ the G.O.A.T. always gives me goosebumps!!! 🙌🏻🧡🏀
Facts bro he's the goat
This is one of the only nba games I remember watching in my time 😂 😂
Jazz fans still have nightmares about this game winning shot😂
bc Jordan pushed off 😭
@@DevinBradleySmith Push or not, the League wasn't soft as now.
Soft
@@accshsmilgroup1408 then go bac kto 98 where your phone is still keypad
@@DevinBradleySmith mad?
As a jazz fan, this moment lives in infamy. We do nothing but talk about this season here.
I prefer our run in 97.
I remember this game, I was 9 yrs old. I’m glad I was able to watch Jordan, Kobe, Iverson, T-Mac, Carter, KG, Melo & LeBron …I still have the All-Star games/weekends from the 00’s on VHS
Amazing
I can’t believe Phil Jackson called that entire play and Michael Jordan executed perfectly. That was beautiful.
i had one year old in 1998 and i don't have the opportunity to see MJ on the TV..only here thanks to the technology... THAT LAST SHOOT IS LEGENDARY FOREVER 🐐🔥🔥🔥🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
The last minute defined MJ23. Clutch. The GOAT 🐐
Try to complicate MJ without saying GOAT. Pretty hard cause that’s the only thing you can say
What else can I say?MJ gave us basketball at its best. He made his teammates at the peak of their performance every game as if there is no tomorrow. Sheer will and focus..huh...Thanks for the memories.
Dude this last game felt like a movie, especially the final minutes. So cinematic even the arena sounds added to the intensity. Only finals game that rivals this is maybe GSW vs Cavs game 7.
I've lost count how many times I've watched this, still keeps you on the edge of your seat! I saw this game back in the day to!
For me this is the best moment in nba , mj is the GOAT 🐐🔥
Nobody can ever top that play, that sequence. It's immortallity personified.
🐐 of all time….. Not a Jedi like LEBRON… MJ was a SITH LORD “UNLIMITED POWER”……..
Man, I am so glad I was alive to enjoy this while it happened. What a time. Pre-9/11, everything was fine, more or less. Damn I miss those days
There’s a great clip of the last 4:39 seconds of that game on here that brilliantly shows what Phil said here. Wow the ZEN master and the GOAT were on a diff level
I remember watched NBA games late of 80-s here in Russia and from the first time my heart, my soul and my love with MJ and Chicago Bulls. Thanks for everything GOAT!
sussy russian
At 4:11, I love the respect and sportsmanship Rodman still showed Stockton even after Stockton got called for a foul and was still laying on the ground. Rodman pulled him up and gave him a pat on the back.
less than 2 years from a new millennium and michael jordan still in 23 winning a championship. really i mean he had retired it left a shockwave in the world then to come back as like the black messiah of the nba basketball. really he gave us so much i have to say he was the greatest and beyond that so much of a big heart.
24 years ago to the Day Today,Dam How Time Flies😢😢
It's very hard to say,Go Bull's these days😢😢
I mean the bulls are super entertaining and high potential team these days so
You clearly don’t watch basketball.
It has been 25 years since Michael Jordan scored his game-winning basket in Game 6 of the 1998 NBA Finals.
man the best in the world nobody better the MJ! he the real 🐐
Compare the commentary to today. Can’t even compare the play by play and colour commentator is amazing. Really made you feel the magnitude of the moment
That's just Bob Costas, arguably the best to ever do it.
The play at 5:08 is so impressive. Everyone knew they needed to score quickly so they wouldn't have to foul on the other end. Utah played solid defense, and it just didn't matter because Michael willed it and made the difficult play, while barely taking any time off the clock.
*MJ'S EXCLAMATION POINT! 💪23*
To this day the most watched basketball game of all time
Watching this in 2023.. All i can say is, Jordan is an absolute beast!! Goat!
This was the highest nba ratings ever were and will ever be, there was something mystical with Mike
Jordan the GOAT 🐐. There will never be anyone better, not within a lifetime.
Curry and soon, Giannis.
@@Sympyismoon curry not close giannis also not close
Straight facts!
@@Sympyismoon 😅
@@Sympyismoon Curry is in the Top 10 but he ain't MJ. Giannis is the version of Shaquille O'Neal when he was in Orlando. Giannis may pass MJ in the all time scoring list but he can't overthrow MJ in the Mount Rushmore.
MJ the GOAT
No question
June 14th 2023 22:35 CT.
Happy 25th Anniversary Bulls fans since this game, even though the last 25 years have been rough and the next 25 years will also be rough you can ALWAYS say that your team has THE GOAT and when your frustrated every season you can just watch reruns of Jordan winning rings.
Even failing some shots MJ did EVERYTHING in those 4 mins
The best finals ever
MJ said no creeps getting a ring ❕❗️
That's why I love MJ.. my #1 player of all the time.
The GOAT Mikal Jordan
But michal I’m what ever gas ⛽️ he has letf In his tank 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@adleycrane2359 you missed the joke it’s from troydan, he made a video asking Roblox players about nba players and someone typed “mikal Jordan”
Miguel Jordan
Start comparing these new guys to number 23 please
@@Solznmid oh yeah my bad.
Top players all time, top coaching all time, and the greatest player of all time finishing with his second 3-peat, definition of "historic" ending.
Never again will we see such a feat in sports. Boy, what a time to be alive....
As a teen (17), I was watching this on TV live with my mother and brother in 1998! Thanks for the memory, MJ! He is the GOAT!
how
this kid got jokes
that last steal is amazing.
Ladies and gentlemen, what you just watched is greatness
I remember I was in 6th grade when the bulls won this...they were my favorite team....they were UN matched...
Rodman, pippen, Jordan, Longley, kuckoch, kerr......I loved the bulls...
I was at least 15 years old when I became Chicago bulls fan and almost 30 years through the years, I've seen lots of great and amazing player's but honestly like Miguel I haven't. To me CHICAGO is still best of team of all time and Michael Jordan best player of all time 2023
This shot never gets old , i was in fourth grade back then and i cut classes just to watch this game.
Me too! Hahaha
guys it was on at night?
@@bobspence5322probably from another country with different timezone.
As a diehard Lakers fan I was happy for the Bulls and MJ
He said “its there!” and all I can think of is “BANG!”
Solid defense by Harper on the last shot, and Harper hit a huge bucket as the shot clock was close to expiring. Just giving some love to a still underrated player for the Bulls.
Down 3 under a minute left Jordan goes clutch basket OFFENSE, clutch steal DEFENSE, then CLUTCH basket OFFENSE 🐐
MJ el mejor jugador de todos los tiempos y . 🏀🏆🏆🏆🏀🏆🏆🏆
AMAZING! I saw this as a 11 year old and even that young, knew what I was seeing, many great players, GREAT, but none as good or better than MJ. What you're witnessing in this video is the equivalent of watching someone climb mount Everest in one day but you only get to see the part where he finishes that amazing journey...GOAT.
GREATEST OF ALL TIME MICHAEL JEFFREY JORDAN!!!!
he has a middle name?
“Michael Jordan came in here and he crushed the dreams of the Utah Jazz”
The Rock
"He ended - - you boo cause it's the truth". "He ended the Utah team's story, what did the Utah Jazz do ?" "They took their beatings like men and worked their asses off back to the top". "That's what they did".
The happy ending and the greatest cinderella moment of MJ in NBA of all time.
I was born 11 years after this but still Mj is the goat especially when you see how focused and smart he played at 35 he had to use his mind and body as he said in the last dance but from 91-97 he used his body a lot more and I’m very suprised on how fast he got that steal and shot the ball in 13s
AIN'T NOBODY MORE CLUTCH THAN MICHAEL JORDAN:
NBA Finals.
Last 2 minutes....
Utah winning by 4 points, Jordan attack the paint TWICE. To stop the bleeding, and tie the game with 4 Free throws.
Utah make a 3 . Now Utah winning by 3 with 41 seconds left. Jordan attack the basket ONCE AGAIN ! and now Chicago is only trailing by 1 . Utah possession. Jordan with the steal, Jordan attack the basket again, and Jordan win the game ., WHICH MEANS.....in the last 2 Minutes of the game . UTAH scored 7 points. And Jordan scored 8 by himself.
THE GOAT !!!!!!
What an ending for that Bulls team.
“All hail our king 👑 “ - ‘MJ’ Michael Jordan 🐐 🐐
This sequence leaves no doubt who the GOAT is
damn i remember this game im a high school back then and im not sure if the bulls can win this 98 nba finals the jazz that year is very strong team but MJ prove me wrong i got a goosebump every time i watch this game.
Best sequence in NBA history. MJ made all the right play to win.
This is what you call greatness he's showing you by throwing up six fingers screaming yeah 🤯
The most legendary game in NBA history.
One of the... IF NOT THE MOST LEGENDARY... game in sports history.
MJ the 🐐
I was nervous watching that game because I thought the bulls were going to lose. MJ had the will to win even though he was very tired.
It’s amazing how MJ anticipated the isolation of Malone.
i remembered watching this live in '98. I was jumping and shouting after he made that epic shot! #Nostalgia #greatness #hisairness #MJ #jordan
The most iconic defensive and offensive sequence in the NBA history
How are the announcers not freaking out? Scores the 2 instantly. Smart enough to know he doesnt need to force a three. Insane steal and then the filthy cross over into the nothing but net clutch shot that was. holy.
Because 2 of them (Doug Collins and Isiah Thomas) were lowkey Bulls haters and wanted the Bulls to lose
Why was I expecting everyone to shoot 3s like they do nowadays
MASTER PIECE FROM THE GOAT MJ AND THE BEST TEAM IN THE NBA! 🐐💪🏼
It was a thrill and an honor to watch Michael play basketball.
Rodman helping up Stockton and patting him on the back after the hard foul on MJ had me laughing.
Rodman would be the last person I'd expect to do that LMAO.
