Best passer vs best scorer of that time!
Hes not the best passer

@@JayBonesDavis who is it then
@@JayBonesDavis He is the best passer no one else is even close.
@@putitinreverseterry I agree with you but "not even close"? Kobe skill wise mightve been just as skilled, plus add KD in the mix.
MJ: I called timeout!
Ref: My apologies Michael! You must be right
That shit's funny but Harden & Bron have the refs in their pocket even worse 😂
He did call a time out, though...
Twenty-Fifth Baam nawl mj made ref & nba change their rules
*CAUTION* Talking bout the pistons physical abuse? Think logically sooner or later the NBA wouldve done something about it, they wouldnt stand by and let their best players get their careers threatened from injuries, that would ruin the image of the NBA and one of their biggest source of income, especiallly now that the NBA has entered the modern era and more kids watch it.
Twenty-Fifth Baam so when jordan getting his ass killed its abuse ??? But you calling this era soft ? ... ok
MJ > MJ

Magic went to shake MJ's hand. Magic congratulated Isiah and Mark Aguirre after the 89 Finals. Magic congratulated Dr J and Moses and Billy Cunningham with Kareem and Pat Riley after the 83 Finals. No matter what you say about the man and the franchise, Magic and the Lakers are all class.
Magic Johnson’s passes are unreal
4:50 I’ve seen this game so many times, and this move always looks so damn smooth
Vintage!

But have you seen Kobe doing it? Check Lakers vs Heat 2009. But MJs is a thing of a beauty.
Poetry in motion
That 1991 Bulls team has one of the best defensive teams ever!!You look at old footage, you see how fast they recover. How they close up openings. Michael and Scottie jumping in and out of passing lanes. I know this is a different age, but I think they would very effective today just as much as they were then even with the 3 point shooting.
They would be great, at least mike and Scottie. The rest of the team gets sliced sadly. Too much skill and size today that they aren't use to
Damn I was 12 an watching mj win his first chip now I'm 40 an still watching
i was 10 now im 38 still watching greatness playa i was 8 in 89 wit my 1st pair love mama

I’m 39 right with you brother
I was 14 and was just starting to watch NBA basketball, good ol' times.
Can relate
"..and the Chicago Bulls have won their first ever NBA Championship..."
And so the dynasty begins.
Dynasty wow 6 championships, that's all he could win you guys, that's not a Dynasty now a dynasty is the Los Angeles Lakers, or the Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls Dynasty, just lucky that you've got Michael, Scottie Pippen, because without Scottie , Michael wouldn't won that many championships, Dynasty are you kidding that's funny

In 1991, the Bulls were ascending and the Lakers were descending. Yet Magic willed his team into the Finals one more time. That means from 1980 to 1991, the Lakers missed only 3 Finals. This was the Bulls first Finals under Jordan.
Yep then they won 6

As a Laker fan, this was the most disappointing Finals for me because this Lakers team was hurt and far from what the 80s Showtime Lakers were. There was no more: Pat Riley, Kareem, Michael Cooper, Jamal Wilkes, and Bob MacAdoo. Worthy was hurt and only himself in game 1 with 33 points; he missed games 2 and 5, I believe. Byron Scott was hurt and sucked in this series. Magic had little help against a young, athletic, and hungry Bulls team.
Worthy and Scott were injured in Game 4 and missed Game 5.
Worthy and Scott healthy pushes this to 7 and we would have had an all time classic finals at the very least.
@@sravalm21💯 FACTS!
Jordan had it easy for his first finals. Imagine if lebron faced a spurs team with a hurt Tony parker and Manu ginobli for his first finals and had a scottie pippen guarding Tim Duncan.
Dude Stop making excuses. MJ beat showtime lakers and bad boy pistons
Magic had to have 22 assists in this game. Incredible
Magic Johnson - finesse in play making and assist
Michael Jordan - finesse in getting a good play and scoring.
The 2 best players ever Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson.

I'll pick mine after your selection (not using any of your players) and will still pick a better team since you came for me.
We'll have the people decide which team is better. Your team, or mine 🤔
This wasn't the last game they played against one another in the NBA, that happened in '96.
With James Worthy and Byron Scott riding the pine nursing injuries Magic Johnson did not have enough firepower. Air Jordan and the Chicago Bulls won their first title and started an era of domination. Great series. Very exciting. I remember watching this live back in 1991.

6:41 when Jordan literally and figuratively took the torch from Magic
MJ was electric! Just unstoppable.
Unstoppable other than the 9 times he did get stopped.
There's a new sheriff in town!
The only time MJ and Magic Johnson played in the Finals , I mean Johnson was getting up in age but he was still pretty good , Jordan was starting to become a phenomenon in the NBA and finally got his first title
bruce lau starting to become phenomenal??? Hell by that time he was a constant all-star rookie of the Year defensive player of the Year 2 time dunk champ ect....
thkalas pretty intense but you are right Magic was still in his prime. He wasn’t old. He was 2nd in mvp winner the year before. He and MJ was battling for the top spot. I don’t think people realize that outside of Celtics MJ was knocking off the top players in their prime.
Shidd, starting to become...MJ was a phenomenon from the moment he hit an NBA floor.
Wow looking like MJ defeated 3 HOFs. Crazy thing is Byron Scott won’t be a HOF but he was better than Divac.
@@thkalas Exactly. It's called revisionists history. They do it all the time when it comes to Jordan. When he wins it's because his "True" competition "got old". Just like when he finally knocked off the Pistons. The core of the Pistons were between the ages of 26 and 30 at the time. But according to the naysayers, they were "old"!
When players were not only looking for threes… great basketball 👍
Best SG vs Best PG ,they are GOAT
Damn, this one game shows Pippen really doesn't get the love he deserves.
That series was a battle for the ages
This was a pretty fast paced up and down game. Alot of people believe that stigma that 80's and 90's basketball game was slow paced.
Thats the era of Spartans..... Hard Boiled players..... Now is about Posters and Handsome shots..... Scripted plays....
BlueLagoon lie again
BlueLagoon him and Michael ran a 4.6, he was 215 as of 1998 lbs (i dont talk about his wizards years) and bron is 260 as of right now. Its a inch difference in the vertical but 46 for mike 45 for James. Which one you stopping? The 215 lbs calculated assassin coming at you at light speed or the 260 lbs Fucking semi truck going mach 10? You cant discredit neither of these goats. Both all time greats. Appreciate the talents and stop hating. We know wilt chamberlain is the best that ever was.
I Heard Of Vynnce you’re lying, Lebron has a 40 inch vert
@BlueLagoon Haha stupid troll
Magic's just Incredible...
Elden Campbell was doing some damage on the inside. Bill Cartwright's defense in the paint was so needed for the Bulls. Magic Johnson's court vision was insane!
They don't show it here but Paxson iced this game late. I think he hit like 5 straight shots to close out the game.
@@idontreplyback1074 Not everyone even has the courage to take open shots in huge pressure situations like that... let alone the ability to make them. Even some supposed all time greats, like Lebron. Paxson never had that problem. Showed it in the 93 finals as well.
What a series this would had been with a full Lakers starting line up (Worthy and Scott).
Showtime wasn’t Showtime without the Captain. The 85-87 Lakers with Kareem roast any Bulls team Michael had. Even in his late 30s Kareem would have feasted on the Bulls front line.

Byron Scott has a history of being hurt when he knew Lakers had no chance of winning series
Lakers was not beating Bulls in 1991 NBA finals anyway you slice it
Nobody from Lakers could stop Michael Jordan
Jordan and Pippen could guard and slow down Magic
Damn. Look how many steals was highlighted. Jordan was a beast defensively too and its something a lot of players these days lack. Lol
Magic passing skill and MJ scoring skill. What an unbeatable combination for any player that possessed both of those.
Lebron is the closest thing to be honest

Magic was such a point gaurd
Best point guard ever
Nunca na nossa vida teremos um Magic Jhonson e Michael Jordan, por isso rever essas relíquias é fora do normal
The way jordan moves.... its just simply the best, such a joy to watch ❤
Lakers needed Pat Riley for strategic playing against the bulls. Then they needed Micheal Cooper's great defense to help guard Jordan. Add to that Worthy and Scott and they might have won the playoffs.
Magic
Jordan
LeBron
Duncan
Kareem
The GOAT lineup 💯
LEBRON IN ALL TIME? ARE YOU SERIOUS? LOL
I'd replace Lebron with Kevin Durant or Kobe
You guys are dumbasses for saying Lebron shouldn’t be in an all time list. He’s top 5 no questions.
Lebron is literally the greatest behind jordan
Im not saying Lebron isn't top 5 all time. Im saying Lebron isn't a better scorer than Kevin Durant , Kobe, Curry or MJ.
Yeah Lebron is efficient but those other guys really have no weakness in scoring.
Majic took this team to finals. BUT HE NEEDED WORTHY.
Jordan took his team to the finals but he needed pippen
He had 3 excellent young bigs in divac, Campbell and Perkins, all would go on to have long great careers
Magic had worthy
James Worthy only missed game 5
Bulls Won the Series 4-1
Try again
Series was over either way
Magic and A.C. Green was the only starters playing against the Bulls. So to all you Jordan d**k riders, it wasn't like the Bulls beat the great Lakers team. If Byron Scott and Worthy would've played, all the close Bulls wins, would've been loses.
Magic is one of the guys that is capable of taking MJ on in a one-one battle. He basically controls the offence for the Lakers. His passes are legendary and he is also capable of turning into a deadly scorer if needed to. Even MJ have to respect him as Magic style of play outplayed Jordan at times and made MJ change tactics, forcing MJ to play like him, becoming a passer of the ball which is not MJ’s style.
Magic couldn't even attempt to guard Jordan 1 on 1. At least Jordan would take it upon himself to guard magic for long stretches
@@FuShengAlexMagic was old at this point
@@BLACKSTA361 puhleeze. He wouldn't have done that earlier in his career either. He likes gleefully bringing up Clyde in 92 like he and LA didn't get stomped on in a more convincing manner.

He goes everywhere he wants on the basketball floor the GOAT
The Lakers weren't even supposed to be in the Finals that year, but they upset Portland in the WCF.
Samuel Demiss true, remember the blazers blowing game 1 after having a big lead like it was yesterday
@@elai3147 And it wasn't the last time that the Blazers blew a big lead vs the Lakers in the playoffs. 9 years later (2000 WCF).
True, but the Bulls beat the Blazers team the very next year, so wouldn't have mattered. Same outcome. That was definitely not "peak" showtime lakers though...
I'll never forget that game, almost like yesterday in away!
I can’t find my VHS and my video cassette where I had this game recorded anywhere…but I’m glad we have UA-cam to relive this series FLASHBACK thanks 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Let’s not forget that both James Worthy and Byron Scott were injured in the finals, else the Lakers won’t go down in 5.
Yes I agree!! And let's not forget, that the lakers were getting old,Kareem wasn't there, this isn't wasn't the 80 lakers, otherwise I would have being a different story
!!! Naaah the Bulls were too strong !!!!
@@chachoadame8830 agree the bulls was hungry and strong they swept the Pistons they was ready and a strong defensive team
@Robert Johnson you do realize when they compare all time greatness, they are not using this 91 bulls team, right? They use the one with Rodman, Harper and Kukoc on it. The one that won like 72 games. That team also had 7'2 Longley. He might get beat by the Shaq's or Hakeem's of the basketball world but his size can make them miss some shots or he can foul them.
The beginning of the changing of the guard
No Worthy
No Scott
It was like Game 5 of the 2015 NBA Finals
This was when the NBA was the NBA. Today? Zone defense, every game a three pointer contest, analytics making players timid... the game is completely ruined for me as a fan. I'd rather watch a Finals match up from 30 years ago than what passes for pro basketball now any day.
Even a 4 on 1 can't restrain MJ at 6:12. Pure finesse.
That was an awesome moment in sports. I had been a Jordan fan since day one, watching every game, every year on Chicago Sports Channel. All my relatives were Knicks fans who told me Jordan wasn't going to win a title but that didn't hold up. Watching Jordan and his Bulls teams was great at the time but a privilege now. In 2021 Jordan is still talked about far more than any current player and it doesn't surprise me one bit. I don't think there will ever be a player like Jordan again because it had to happen at the right time and that time is gone. Great players will come and go as they have but people are still wearing Jordan's on their feet not those guy's shoes and Jordan has been retired for how long? If a guy came along scoring 50 a night he would never be a big a star as Jordan.
Jordan is also great benefactor of Nike, and the era of television - MTV and satellite international TV.
He was also the brand, although Pippen and later years Rodman would largely complement his game.
Magic on the fast break was crazy 🔥🔥🔥
Magic vs jordan epic battles love it
One of the saddest days of my childhood.
This was the start of one of the happiest moments of my childhood
Saddest for me too!! Still wore my Lakers cap tho the next day! Damn I had heart!!

Bulls reigned all the way through the 90s (ending in 1998) and then the next decade came the Lakers right back with 5 more championships from 2000-2002 and 2009 & 2010.

Showtime Lakers were my favorite team but my favorite player was Jordan (just beats out Magic by an inch in my book) during this time. After this series, the Bulls became my favorite team until Jordan retired.
I just found out about Magic Johnson and love watching him play
Man, I wish the nba was half this exciting now.
In the game of basketball these were our gods
Cool Stuff. I saw at least 4 moves from Jordan that I've never seen anyone come close to making it look as easy and smooth as him. Magic was coming up on 32 years of age and Jordan was at that prime age of "28". Magic's mental game was as sharp as Jordan's. Wish we could watch another combo like Jordan and Pippen.
I'm glad it always tell me it was the 1991 FINALS GM 5. I found myself forgetting every 30sec.
Magic vs Jordan was a crazy matchup. i didnt grow up in this time period but these guys are another level. Jordan created a dynasty. the blueprint, the GOAT
Sucks Magic got aids he could of came back in 92 and just tear shit up he was still in his prime and had several years left in him.
Shady Boy and knowing the lakers they would have addressed the problem of not having wings to deal will jordan and pippen
What a fast paced game. Even AC Green could hang with today’s competition.
Notice it is still Jordan guarding Magic most of the time. Some fans still think it was all Pippen after Game 1 and that wasn't the case; Pippen only switched over a few times.
Who is agree if magic didn't retire early he would became greater than jordan?
If only the Lakers were healthy. This series would've gone 7. Magic and MJ. I cried like a little boy when I watched my Lakers lose this. Well, I was a little boy when this happened.
hey men cry too

For real though...father time is undefeated
after seeing the always showtime dvd i just wonder why michael jordan is the bigger name, magic must be just as good or even better..
Jordan's better
@@BruhMoment-di1oy It depends on what you're looking for. Magic's 42 point, 15 rebound, 7 assist, 3 steal finals performance as a 20 year old says otherwise. Magic won 5 and only played 13 years, and Jordan won 6 and played 15. I'd say it's pretty even. If you're just talking about scoring at will and dominating a game with individual performance, Jordan's better. If you're talking about a player who could play all three positions and give you a win on any given night, it's Johnson. He went to 9 NBA finals, three more than Jordan, and I believe he would have won another ring if he hadn't got sick. But even so, no one dominated as definitively and for as long as Johnson, only Lebron compares with Finals appearances in 10 years or half of his NBA career. For a decade, all championships went through Johnson or Lebron's turf.
"And the Chicago Bulls have won their first ever NBA Championship!" Iconic
I remember watching this when I was a kid I was so happy
The fall of Lakers era, the rise of bull era.
Passing of the torch
Yeah that's what happened, but what's funny after Chicago putted out and couldn't win no more, the Lakers come back one five more championships, I'm sorry how many does Chicago have , and how many does the Lakers have, oh yeah Chicago 6 Lakers 16, sorry that was your only hope was Michael
for me number one and two all times, magic, 20 assists in the night.
The reason why I highly appreciated Jordan is because he did not quit Bulls until he beat the pistons and reach finals, and eventually win championship against Lakers Magic. Unlike queen lebron quit cavs and switched sides to miami just to beat Boston Celtics.
Geez this brings so many memories. I'm in tears. :')
Los mejores tiempos de la nba sin duda alguna. Como los disfrute todos los partidos. Eran mejores que ahora.
I remember being the only person in my neighborhood rooting for the Lakers. All my friends wanted to be like Mike 😂
