Nice. The season game against ATL when Jordan dunked on Mutumbo after Mutumbo said he would never dunk on him was good. Was that 97 or 98?

[Height Freak]

The comment happened previous to the 1997 all star game, the dunk happened 3 months later at the eastern semis.

We are talking about M.J the best player ever. I can't reminisce in Jordan who was 6/6?

1991 was a great year, knowing he had to beat Isiah just to get to the finals. How much he had in game 3 ecf?

33. Jordan didn't have huge scoring performances that postseason like he often did, he was making a concerted effort to get others involved. I think he had one 40+ performance that postseason, which for a younger Jordan was way below usual.

He made a huge defensive play towards the end. Detroit had a 2 on 1 with Jordan. Jordan got in the right position and Dumars ended up throwing an awful shot, kind of a desperation scoop shot, that all but ruined Detroit's remaining hope in the game.

Rodman pulled a Rodman at the end of the game and did a mini-clothesline to Paxson's throat.

Which turned out to be minor stuff compared to that horrible cheap shot the next game against Pippen.There's no way I could narrow it down top 5, as I have watched an insane amount of Jordan. I could try to narrow down top 5 games, top 5 dunks, game winners, moves, etc..

Top 5 games:

Knicks in April 1988. This is just a reel of highlight play after highlight play.

Game 3 of the 1989 ECF. Just watch the last few minutes when the Bulls made a comeback. I remember just being in awe of how amazing of a player he was.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evVaiYNb904

Game 2 of the 1991 Finals. Everyone remembers the brilliant (although totally unnecessary lol) hand-switch play, but he played amazing the whole game. His passing was outstanding in the early going, then he decided to do more scoring and made 13 straight FGs.

Game 3 of the first round in 1992 against Miami. Put an expansion team without a good defense against Jordan in the playoffs, and you get video game type numbers. Jordan scored 2 points in the 1st quarter. He finished with 56.

Game 5 of the 1993 Finals. This is just sad watching Phoenix try to defend him

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DoSWRX9re4


One of my favorite moves that doesn't get mentioned much (I don't think it made that top 10 on the Ultimate Jordan DVD awhile back) is at the 3:35 mark.

Watch how he does a crossover, and then contorts his body to get in between all those defenders to make a shot from a difficult angle.

Poor Ewing, Jordan owns his soul. Even defeating him in the 82 NCAA Final when they were freshmen in college.


Michael never let me forget that I couldn't beat him. Michael never let me forget anything. Michael has been talking trash from the first day I met
him at age seventeen, and he's never stopped. Hell, yeah, it bothers me that I never beat him. And I gotta hear it from him every day I see him. 'You didn't beat me in college, and you didn't beat me in the NBA. You're out of chances, Patrick.' That's the kind of shit I gotta hear from him until my dying days.

I forgot. 30 something. But that's beside the point. I picked games that represented his dominance and artistry that really don't get mentioned that much. Game 3 was a masterpiece by MJ. He was fully in control of himself (he didn't press) and he was in full control of the game. Also has the best steal I've ever seen in all the years I've watched basketball. It was a steal on Edwards. I'd have to watch it again to describe it but it was a truly :bowdown: play.
