Im a detroit pistons fan. I went to this game. I still have my ticket. It also happened to b the only time i ever wore a visitors jersey to the game which was jordans bulls jersey. Greastest ever. Muchluv!
tribute it is... 😍😍😍
my family is from detroit. they still won't even watch Space Jam lol
Space Jam is awesome!
-chase thats hilarious 😂😂😂
You're not a real Pistons fan. Real Pistons fans hate Jordan.
MJ cheered in detroit?! now there's something i never thought id see
He was loved in Cleveland and Detroit… even Utah fans respected him. New York loves him. All these cities have every single reason to despise him. Yet his gameplay transcends the game. Truly the goat
at age 40 still better than %80 player on the league.

@@dantegood2195 Well, I guess we found Isiah's UA-cam account.
90%
After a 3 year break too
probably 98%
I was at that game and had seen Jordan play at The Palace a bunch in the 1990s. My Dad had gotten us tickets. Since this was Preseason Jordan was going to rest and wasn't planning to play. Once he heard the arena sold out for a preseason game (which never happens) he decided to play simply for the paying crowd in one of the most hostile places he played in with the Bulls. That was a class act to do that for the opponent's fans.
A class act would be selling his shoes for $20 a pair and not $200 so that way the poor people can afford them and I think the only reason he played is so that Detroit wouldn't riot since they have a history of trying to fight players... like that fatso boy that ran on the court and got socked by Ron Artest lmao that was hilarious!
@@HBK970 I mean, that would be a class act as well. Wishing for a more charitable Jordan does not mean we can’t appreciate his acts of kindness. As long as he is with Nike, those shoes are gonna be expensive. I do think they should create a separate line for people that can’t afford Jordans, though.
@@benmoore42 Shaq had his own line at Walmart for a while and they were in the $20-30 range and then Stephon Marbury had his own shoes out for a little bit but they never seem to last. Surprisingly, And-1 shoes used to be really popular and expensive back in the early 00's and you could find them at Finish Line and other high end shoe stores but now they are sold at Walmart for $20.
I was there! Only time I ever got to see MJ play in person. Still have my ticket stubs!
Show proof liar!!!
That was the weakest introduction from the announcer. C'mon man, you're introducing the best player in the world coming back for one last ride, and you're saying it like it's a grocery store PA system alerting the customers that someone left their headlights on in the parking lot.
Alex Moen That is Mason in his season as the Pistons public address announcer. I remember reading that he felt great pressure filling the shoes of Ken Calvert who had the role during the Bad Boys and Grant Hill eras.
What an idiot🤡
😅😅😅😅lol youre right
MJ was no where near the best player in the league when he was with the Wizards.
@@Nickgonelieyou know what he means
“ONE MORE TIME!!”.....that’s my shit lol
That's what led me to becoming a fan of Daft Punk! I first heard that song in 2017 while I was at Bowlero, and while I was watching this in 2019, I recognized that same song, so I searched up the lyrics and it was this song "ONE MORE TIME" by Daft Punk! Sadly, the two robots became human again after breaking up earlier this year. Thanks Daft Punk for making your music harder, better, faster, stronger.
Nothing will top Jordan in the Bulls Jersey but he looks awesome in a Wizards Jersey.
started the game with block shot then rebound and scored the first 2 points in the game, what a legend !!!?
I’m surprised fans in DETROIT were cheering for Jordan at all
Seeing Rip guard Stackhouse less than a year before being traded for each other is surreal. Rip had no way of knowing how much Detroit would be important in his career moving forward.
💯💯
This was also the first game that the Pistons went back to their red, white, and blue uniforms from the teal. And the very beginning of a really good era of Detroit basketball.
It is awkward for bulls fans to see their legend in a different uniform.
very😮
The best ever
The true goat
Most love he's ever gotten in Detroit
It’s hard to believe it wasn’t even 3 years after his final game he aged so fast .
It was definitely three full years, June 1998 to Oct. 2001.
What do you mean he aged fast? He doesn't even look any different from 1998
Sold out pre season game
man the success behind jordan was that he treated everything equally even if it were finals or a preseason game
I'm almost starting to think that if Jordan played forward his entire career, he would've somehow been even better.
He would have had more than 6 rings
Michael rocking the pre season goatee
Also KWAME BROWN debut
KB: arguably the greatest Wizard in franchise history!!😂🤣✌
Michael Jordan in a Wizards jersey will never not be strange to me
Got respect in every arena!
Rusty and still killing those bums on the court mos def GOAT
Mj is a beast
Kwame brown played with jordan and kobe? Man he must have the greatest career ever
Puppet King must have crazy stories too 😳🤫
@@mikey-domagala 😳
Jordan much more goat
The way Tyron Lue stood up after his second basket..we're all fans Michael.
He got a shot in the same spot every single time. For two seasons.
did nobody else notice ben wallace making a jumpshot?!
Hes made some threes is his career as well
Oh yeah,amazing!
+Bryant Chan Thought you guys might appreciate that.
He'd do it sometimes.
He can make three's as well, just like what he did to my Heat in game 7 of ECF in 05
Ben Wallace had a beautiful jump shot they most told him not to shoot
I saw him make a garbage time 3 before the buzzer when they were down by 20
MJ took three years off before playing for the Wizards; imagine the rust. In normal human years that’s like 10yrs. But yet, he was still effective on the court.
That just shows how his talent was pure.
My favorite nba player like Michael Jordan said hi to him today
It seems like Jordan was prepping Rip Hamilton to become a champion 2 seasons later.
Wizards should have never traded Hamilton. I think if Jordan stayed for more seasons with Hamilton, I think the Wizards would have won a championship.
@@MT-tu8dt Agreed, Jerry Stack House was a step down.
Was at this game.
I remember watching this game live.
The ginger XVI. Nice. I personally loved watching Jordan on the Wizards.
I had them when he dropped them in 01 I was 11 years old never came back out again due to bad sales hopefully it make a comeback but then again it’s been over 15 years some Jordan’s just not gonna see the light again it’s nuts gonna be a dead stock memory
Crazy (preseason) but Jordan and LeBron both played for the very time (Jordan Wizards) at the palace of Auburn Hills
I still got my Wizards shooting jacket.
First play back after three years… And he blocks a shot LOL… Not just a scorer
Corliss is a good ol Arkansas boy. He was at Arkansas when the hogs beat Duke. Ya know.... the finals that nobody ever talks about! 🤨😏
Unquenchable passion, until time and physics intervened
This was as big as Duchovny coming back in cameos in the 8th and 9th seasons of X files
lol, hhaha! Right!
0:56 I never knew Michael Jordan wears glasses
1st minute of the gamr and as a Wizard... 1Blk 1Reb 2pts, this guy works fast!!! correct me if i am mistaken or wrong on that observation... hmmmmm🤔🤔🤔???
Wow Jordan was playing against my pistons first one back. And rip was one the wizards and one his ring with is a few years later
A pre- Darko Milicic era for the Pistons..
that pistons team was filthy
Great post, but what happened to the rest?
Jordan Only Played the First Half.
Rest In Peace Fred McLeod
I forgot about goatee Jordan
R.I.P. Fred McLeod
from 0:18 to 0:25 your first ever meme lol
What if he decided to team up with Malone or Ewing like lebron do ?

I will never understand the Nets, Wizards, & Jazz rebrands… smh
0:22 no.
Detroit on their prime
Can he? Or can THEy?
He miss 2 years of his prime in 99-00 for not paying for other coach
He was right... why would he need another coach once he just won 3 in a row twice with Phil ... why change a coach that’s winning? Over jealousy? MJ was right to protest against this kinda bs
How you gone cheer against ya home team ahhhaaa that's deep and when he got the ball y'all quiet In All ,,,,only mick Jordan
SHOULDA BEEN A LAKER
He didn't survive the 2000s era.. its not a joke anymore like the 90s.
this nigga thought he was back after he made that first shot.. little did he know
😂😂😂
license2breal he was an all star
Grow up using that N word smh weirdo
This is not the first MJ game as a Wiz.
+Reynolds Rivera This is Michael Jordan's first pre-season game as a Washington Wizard, which also doubles as the first time he donned a Wizards uniform. In this way, it's his first game as a member of the Wizards, albeit unofficially. His official regular season debut came against the New York Knicks less than a month later: ua-cam.com/video/K3u-LAq-siU/v-deo.html.
***** You're welcome, my friend. Glad to be of service.
+Reynolds Rivera this is MJ's first game as a wizard. you're a moron
Jordan fouled Russell as he shoved him out of the way to distance himself from him. It should of been a foul on Michael. But the refs gave him all the calls that's why
Or that the refs never really seen it as a powerful shove.
Did you actually watch basketball back in the 90's? Or are you judging the highlights by today's NBA rules? They hardly called a damn thing before the 2000's... Guys like Rodman and Malone couldn't play with today's rules. They'd foul out by half.
Dude, come on, Russel slipped and fell, Jordan Barely even hit him at all.
That wasn't a shove but If u want to see a no call shove look at Reggie miller shove to michael jordan in the playoffs thats was a no call.
but the league wasnt bitchmade and soft like now so even if he pushed him (he actually barely touched him) they wouldnt have called it anyway.
And from this point, til he retired for good, he ruined his perfect career.
