Jordan retired, I stopped watching basketball. 90s era was pure television magic. But I feel like that's the same for many sports ( especially extreme sports )
GREATEST basketball player my ass... More like the most DOMINATE athlete of All-Time! An RIP Drazen sad how his life ended so suddenly was gonna continue to do some great things in the NBA.
HoustonIsImmortal It’s just a so sad , one was go to early ..... imagine that rivalry. And the impact to the quality for the estern Konferenz . The 90 would be 10 times greater
Yep today the game is soft and imbalance weak east against the wild west, before the game was tied there were so much competition going on, each team has their own agenda and representatives, the game was more fun to watch and kinda personal down the hard court as everyone lock on engage and no one wants to loose w/o putting a good fright, defense offense gameplays competitive spirit rivalries intensity IQ talents heart and determination.. All and all what makes the 90s games beauty!
I been following Drazen since his very beginning, from season to season he was seriously better and better, he won national title the strongest after NBA in the world with his less than 18 years of age. There is so many Drazen achievements before his NBA career beginning so so many. MJ is also my favorite player but not like Drazen and I am so confident if he did not died in that car accident in next few seasons Drazen will overcome MJ in many segments of the game guaranty trillion %
@@milosobrenovic1241 no you don’t. Only the delusion ones like you. Jordan was superior defender, scorer, rebounder and athlete of course. I can give the dude shooting but they are close. Jordan was definitely a better mid range shooter. But that difference in the defensive end alone makes Jordan far better. Most European players are terrible defenders so you should learn how to play some D because that’s the half of your work on the court. This is not damn soccer lol
No question he had all-star capability, but you have to understand that playing in the eastern conference with prime MJ at the time meant that there were going to be maybe one or 2 other SG positions available. You still had Reggie Miller, Joe Dumars and even another player who was emerging as a star before he lost his life at such a young age a month after Drazen, the late Reggie Lewis.
I am looking this and I' m very sad and angry at the same time..How someone can compare basket and such a strong competition then and now.Yeah,nowday everobody are shotting 3pts,game is faster maybe,but quality is way under that time.DP wouldn't score bellow 30 pts in this type of basket with such a great shuttung and more space...Defence is weakier than in 80's and '90's...Somebody compare Luka with MJ?Give me a break...Ok,he is still 20,21 but with 18 he was already almost a complete player .MJ is the only one...
Alecsander Hamilton Michaels 92 season was easily his most effortless season. In other words, MJ was the best MJ in 1992 and not 1991. Also Pippen was best Pippen in 1992 which made MJ’s job even easier. The Bulls were stronger in 1996 and 1997 than 1992 , regardless of what Ainge or anyone else thinks, the 1996 and 1997 Bulls were stronger than the 1992 Bulls, but MJ and Pippen, Grant and even Rodman had he been a Bull in 1992, were all the best versions of themselves. It’s just Rodman Pippen Jordan Kukoc is > Grant Pippen Jordan Cartwright. So sorry. But back to the message... - 67-15 his best regular season record yet - He averaged I believe 30.1 points which was his third lowest after shortened second season and rookie season but his team still won the most games - Pippen was officially prime - Jordan was in his athletic prime, physical prime and though 96 was effortless and 97 very close as well, Jordan could score 30.1 on over 50% still exhausting himself less, taking more jumpers than before 1992 but also being able to physically get to the rim more efficiently than Jordan in 1996 or 1997 where I believe he averaged 30.4 and 29.7 respectively, which puts 1992 between those two season in PPG but he also did it more smoothly and efficiently, he wasn’t over 50% again after 93 I’d guess off my head right now. Now the playoffs were a different story, the Knicks hit em square in the nose in game 1 and their season really began. The 92 playoffs were Chicago’s toughest. They lost 7 games after the first round, went 7 with New York and their dynasty was almost derailed as unexpectedly and faster than it even started. The Cavs and Blazers went 6 each with Chicago and were tied 2-2 both series. But MJs regular season was MJ and Chicago’s apex of the 88-94 era, he could do less, at his best and Chicago would do the rest. They won a championship in Chicago Stadium, they went back to back, they survived New York’s surprise attack, and distinguished the last two “teams of the 90’s in CLE and POR. Examples of this effortless ability from MJ and Chicago were the Game 7 vs NY when they won 110-81 in a sudden death situation. Game 1 vs Portland when they won by the second half of a finals game and MJ went for 35 points in the first half, hit six threes at an automatic clip, but could finish with 39 points and call it a day instead of going for another 60 + like the days prior to 1991 when Michael’s efforts weren’t a guaranteed win much less a blowout. And Game 6 vs Portland when Jordan could sit on the bench start of the 4th Qtr and let Pippen and the benchman erase a 15 point deficit to steal a second title going away. The Bulls and MJ were their most explosive prior to 1996 and 1997 when they took what 92 did and made it a normality. 1993 they did not have this same energy and swagger until 60-70 games into the season and in the playoffs when they again showed that surging raging Bull ability. Again New York took sails out of Chicago’s stampede but after returning home Chicago wrapped up 4 straight and then put Phoenix in a chokehold off jump and merely lost two games due to Phoenix’s explosability but only in desperation and not in rhythm.
No truer words have been spoken. Only Larry Bird in my lifetime got more phantom calls. Superstars earn this is what I’m told. Drazen was on his way to 30pt season average once he got the superstar treatment
@@marshawnblack9953He would have never averaged 30ppg, quit overrating Draz. Jordan (5x) and Karl Malone (once) were the only two players to average 30ppg in the 90s.
Mario, you are absolutely right because no single defender could stop Drazen. During the dream team Olympic no one wanted to guard Drazen. In fact the 2nd half of the Olympic the dream team pulled away by double teaming and triple teaming Drazen. They knew he was the only one to fear.
Such a great era in basketball.
Jordan retired, I stopped watching basketball. 90s era was pure television magic. But I feel like that's the same for many sports ( especially extreme sports )
TheFormActually Why you had Kobe, he was like Michael Jordan p2
Rip drazen petravic
His Airnes ( Jordan ) and Basket. Mozart ( Petrovic )
GREATEST basketball player my ass... More like the most DOMINATE athlete of All-Time! An RIP Drazen sad how his life ended so suddenly was gonna continue to do some great things in the NBA.
Further proof that Jordan was indeed the greatest passing shooting guard in history, along with so many other things.

4:24 Cliff Livingston though he was MJ for a second.... 😂
Jordan was better, but Petrovic should have been an ALL-STAR
VOMBERMETAL ....He's actually inducted in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. Not sure how that happened. But its true. 😮
We in Europe think that Petrovic was better but didn't live to get full time position for longer period of time and prove that by all means.
@@theloverswineverytime1625 because its not just NBA basketball it's based on. Hes a top 3 euro player ever as well

Sam bowie the 80s 2nd draft pick by blazers between Hakeem and Jordan, he seems looks like a bench warmer player.. And got blocked by MJ at 7:52
Drazen over MJ, any day.
Don't @ me.
Bruh, You have a profile pic of Alexander O'Neal commenting on basketball. Now that's some funny shit😂😂😂
As a die-hard NJ (not brooklyn) Nets fan, no. Just no.
rip petrović
Дражен великолепен даже на фоне Бога. Он опередил игру - Карри стал играть спустя 20 лет.
0:57 is so amazing
00:55 though....

seriously, if you stared at MJ too long the whistle would blow, if you breathe on him he is walking to the line

petrovic play defence very bad !!!!
Most people do when they have to stick God
There was no defense against MJ. But also Michael Jordan himself had problems stopping Dražen Petrović, the least he scored against MJ was 16
That is a very good point except Drazen was averaging more than 2 steals a game
Easy E you are right. Watching Drazen against mortals he was a very good defender
Mario, you are absolutely right because no single defender could stop Drazen. During the dream team Olympic no one wanted to guard Drazen. In fact the 2nd half of the Olympic the dream team pulled away by double teaming and triple teaming Drazen. They knew he was the only one to fear.
Jordan had him and Kobe eliminated.
