Here's what's scary. MJ's offense in his Wizards years was basically 90% jumpers. When he got to the line 7-10 times a game it was almost always a more than 25 pt performance.
and for bussiness also.. If it's not because of Jerry Krause's ego, Jordan and the rest of 98 Bulls team probably could win another rings. Jordan kinda felt regret by the way of Bulls broke up in many of his interview.
MJ coming back only helped his legacy despite not winning. I think Kobe is doing the same thing but in a different way. To have 17yrs straight playing in the league and still dominate the way he is is saying something. Kobe and JOrdan are just gifted. It's no accident they can do these things with their ages and nba miles on them.
how he creates the space in the last fadeaway is a text book prove of his great fundamental skill. very similar to hakeem. using backfacing hop steps with his body weight to fake a spin move and then a turn around. his footwork is unpredictable because he has so many moves.
It's comical to me that b-ball experts like Stephen A. Smith claim that Kobe Bryant is a better shooter than Michael ever was. The percentages speak for themselves. For his career he is 50% - would have even been higher if he never came back with the Wizards........ The greatest mid-range shooter who ever lived in my opinion. The "experts" act as if he was drop-step dunking 20 of his 30 PPG over his career, when in fact probably 80% + of his points were off of jumpers.
MJ a new dimension of NBA & Bob Cousy is the author...Thanks to these two extra ordinary gentlemen they inspired me of what basketball is all about! I love this game.
I know there will be someone out there who thinks he's smarter than other people. So he'll begin to philosophize about Magic "The Greatest"..bla..bla.. Jabbar.. bla bla.. Chamberlain.. or.. bla..bla..Bird - or even bla..bla..LJ/Kobe...Someone will say: MJ was just a scorer...He couldn't pass.; or he was just dunks and layups...Lol! Really?! And without Scottie? Poor MJ (: How many ridiculous comments I've read on youtube so far...!? I think you guys need to study more. I would modestly like to suggest watching this "Michael Jordan - The legend Of The Greatest" to remove all those fucking bullshit....mmm.. pardon.. your prejudices.

Hilarious. He makes even more space on his jumpers against these guys than he did in the 80s and 90s. . Just goes to show you being athletic doesn't mean you're a good defender or know how to play the game. Jordan would eat the league if he played today
@flight23magic32 I wouldn't say they were unpredictable. MJ and Dream had their go to moves, and options after the go to move, and the ability to make the tough shot from all the options available. At 2:15- 2:30, he's really just going for his fadeaway jumper to the right. As he backing him down, he's testing Gill with slight movements to spin baseline. Since Gill is tentative and not really biting, just holding ground, that's enough for jordan to know that gill won't make get a good contest
Lol this is an old Jordan with thes new soft short ass players also no hand checking so he still would could not be contained hes not even in his prime lol
Yea, I didn't word that very well. What I meant was that if a prime Jordan was playing today, he would eat the league. Not sure how all the people who gave me thumbs up interpreted it, lol
guy came back at 39 and 40 years old had a bunch of game winners..51 pt game (kevin durant career high) and averaged 20+ pts 5 rebs and 4 asst and new age fans question if jordan would kill todays NBA? SHEESH
not saying every moves jordan made is unpredictable, but in general he has read his defender well before they could read his. he always has a counter move or a few of them and he has always been able to pull it out so quick that defender cant react as quick.
@Agenthai7 but the thing about jordan is he almost always has a counter move if gill were more aggressive. why is gill so tentative there? because he respects jordan's ability to spins to the baseline and make easy basket or get fouled. you can say he might have feared jordan " ability" to get call also.
I'm a Jordan's fan and I worship him so much, but now I want to share some of my viewpoints about the game. As for the last shot of michael in this game, Jordan really takes advantage of his skiilful fadeaway. However, if Eddie Jones was smart and experienced enough, Michael could get a charging foul when MJ was trying to use the fake spinning to create space for the jump shot. Anyway, who could stay calm and 100% focused when guarding one of the greatest players of all time!
lol just saw your comment..So what he averaged 20 shots 1 of the year and 42% and the second year at 40 years old he shot 45% the next year lol grow up people in the league cant do that now..kobe shot lower than 45% for the majority of his career..even with that low shooting he still shot 50% from the field for his career..who does that as a guard with that volume of shots? avergaing 23 ppg at 38,39 and 20 the last year? look at the people in the league right now look how many average under 20
yes but pippen didnt raise his own stats is those 2 seasons(93-94.94-95).jordan didnt keep down pippens stats.even without jordan pippen didnt have more fga which means that jordan didnt hold pippen offencive game down so your theory about ''less significant stats when you play wih jordan'' is wrong.jordan made pippen what he was,ofcourse pippen had the tallent to be so good but without jordan he wouldnt be so great.
That's because Pippen was more of a Floor leader and all around player who if you look at his stats were much more then offense. Also when you play with JORDAN for your career your going to have much less significant Stats then you would playing without JORDAN. Look at PIPPENS Stats the 93-94 year when JORDAN retired the first time. PIPPEN Led the Bulls team in every Statistic. SCORING, REBOUNDING, ASSISTS, STEALS, BLOCKS ETC ETC..
Købe mejor ke jordan ? Ho diras el mejor de hoy en.dia porke si kieres decir ke købe es mejor ke Jordan solo basta mirar læs estadisticas de cada uno para darse cuenta ke michael es muy superior
Jordan was averaging about 26 before his knee started acting up on him. Man, dude is just crazy.
Scores 37 way out of his prime. The GOAT hands down.
Just amazing , almost 40 years old and play better than those young players
amazing
Here's what's scary. MJ's offense in his Wizards years was basically 90% jumpers. When he got to the line 7-10 times a game it was almost always a more than 25 pt performance.
MJ as the 39 y.o. ankle breaker. Still great at the age of 40.
jordan team is all rookie , but in wizard he's doesn't care much about lose or win
just love for the game
and for bussiness also.. If it's not because of Jerry Krause's ego, Jordan and the rest of 98 Bulls team probably could win another rings. Jordan kinda felt regret by the way of Bulls broke up in many of his interview.
Wherever he plays its always his homecourt. People cheers for him
Totally Awesome!!!. I miss his competitive spirit. Everyone else is a distant second. MJ is the greatest.
How he easily dominate the new school haha
This is amazing Jordan playing like this at 39 yrs of age, simply thee greatest
MJ coming back only helped his legacy despite not winning. I think Kobe is doing the same thing but in a different way. To have 17yrs straight playing in the league and still dominate the way he is is saying something. Kobe and JOrdan are just gifted. It's no accident they can do these things with their ages and nba miles on them.
Amazing how good MJ is at 39! Wow!
Jordan really loves the ELBOW JUMPER?? they say that's the forgotten shot nowadays
how he creates the space in the last fadeaway is a text book prove of his great fundamental skill. very similar to hakeem. using backfacing hop steps with his body weight to fake a spin move and then a turn around. his footwork is unpredictable because he has so many moves.
0:42 & 4:29.... Sick crossover from the old man
I can't believe that MJ was 39 when he did this.
He was avg 25 ,5, and 5 assists till his knees gave him problems.
It's comical to me that b-ball experts like Stephen A. Smith claim that Kobe Bryant is a better shooter than Michael ever was. The percentages speak for themselves. For his career he is 50% - would have even been higher if he never came back with the Wizards........ The greatest mid-range shooter who ever lived in my opinion.

MJ a new dimension of NBA & Bob Cousy is the author...Thanks to these two extra ordinary gentlemen they inspired me of what basketball is all about! I love this game.
that mid range shot...unstoupable
At 39 yrs old on one good knee he still avg 24.
He would at age 40 still beat lebron
He makes it look TOO easy. Crazy stuff man.
At 4:28....why you let a 39 year old man break your feet like that! His mastery in the post is unbelievable.
As MJ always did,he played so amazing and scored so easily and glacefully.And I found another amazing move from this clip.Thanks for sharing~~
Dayum that behind the back crossover was sick.
I know there will be someone out there who thinks he's smarter than other people. So he'll begin to philosophize about Magic "The Greatest"..bla..bla.. Jabbar.. bla bla..

3 crossovers + Clutch shot. Amazing!
05:36 Love how calm he is waiting.....he just knows he is gonna make the shot !!
MJ is too much. I mean the space he created to get the shot with 25 seconds to go over Eddie Jones is unbelievable.
@phxfasho MJ was a great player even alone, but combined with Pippen and Rodman, they were truly unstoppable :)
he could break ankles at 50 years of youth
Jordán es el mejor
he is 40 yrs old but he is above of his enemy
my goodness, 39 years old? RIDICOLOUS
@lorenllbj88 Kobe's not even in the same league as Michael. Michael knew how to light fires under his team.
@flight23magic32 I wouldn't say they were unpredictable. MJ and Dream had their go to moves, and options after the go to move, and the ability to make the tough shot from all the options available.

GOAT
MJ goin teaching these young fellas
Lol this is an old Jordan with thes new soft short ass players also no hand checking so he still would could not be contained hes not even in his prime lol
wow the great legend... michael jordan... but the loose
AMAZING....ALMOST 40 PLAYING LIKE THAT??? INSANE.
man if jordan had guys who could play around him man they would have been a title threat cause this guy could still play at 39 at a very high level
thanks 4 the upload, everyone appreciates it :) keep em comin dude!
That first shot was the same shot he made against John Starks back in 1993 Game 4
Yea, I didn't word that very well. What I meant was that if a prime Jordan was playing today, he would eat the league. Not sure how all the people who gave me thumbs up interpreted it, lol
Alonzo Mourning and Brian Grant, one of the best post-up players in the Heat.
Amazing!!!!
just a request.. please show how he got to the foul line instead of him shooting a bunch of free throws.. thank you for the mj vids as always..
4:27 Who did Jordan cross up?
LaPhonso Ellis.
no doubt.. mj is still the best :) haters gonna hate. :P
@St0rmB Obviously, the game was on Sunshine Network. Which is now "SunSports" the Florida channel that shows the Heat games locally.
0:40 my favorite MJ move
Jordan at 4:29 breaks dude ankles and hits the shot com on man stop whith the comparison the cloest to MJ is Magic and Dr.J kill
@generousg83 I agree with that and Im a De Hard D-Wade fan, nobody can't fit Jordan shoes...
Why is that when ever I watch a video with MJ playing the only thing I can hear is SWISH!
That move at 4:29 tho
Pat Riley: Not this guy again!
guy came back at 39 and 40 years old had a bunch of game winners..51 pt game (kevin durant career high) and averaged 20+ pts 5 rebs and 4 asst and new age fans question if jordan would kill todays NBA? SHEESH
not saying every moves jordan made is unpredictable, but in general he has read his defender well before they could read his. he always has a counter move or a few of them and he has always been able to pull it out so quick that defender cant react as quick.
omg... thats amazing
you have the full game vs nets 2001 in washington?, was amazing game
Bella!
hahaha LOL at the commentator "how can you stop that 39 y/o man"
@Agenthai7
but the thing about jordan is he almost always has a counter move if gill were more aggressive. why is gill so tentative there? because he respects jordan's ability to spins to the baseline and make easy basket or get fouled. you can say he might have feared jordan " ability" to get call also.
well said
5:47 - 5:50 daaamn
still a beast at age 39 but the problem is he keeps the offense on himself

No wonder he looked weird when he came back the second time. He was wearing his signature "Jordan calf"
oops, haha i thought at 4:28 he broke wades ankles :S
ohhhh ankle breaker!! 500 points
yeah its james
do u hve the game og mj's frst comebck 2001 at chicago stadium?
iv sn the last bt hvent seen him in hs frst comebk..as a wizard
Pat riley was like, I knew it!! hahaha, he will take that shot!
but not this time,mike!
Pat Riley (5:58): How I wish Jordan is in my team
"For saying" that not "or saying that".
oh yeah... we"re gonna be soooo happy that Jordan busted our asses 11 years ago.
He would have got 70 in his prime with the current Miami Heat team.
sick cross this is why he's retired by the heat to
What happened in the final 1.4 ? Did MJ get a shot off ?
50% of this Video is Michael Jordan's Free throws..!
Even though it's only right to keep Jordan in a Bulls jersey...I wish he played for the Heat :(
@Balthus23 thank you!!
micheal jordan was on fucking cruise control
Damn, one more year for dwade...
Arrr man that would be mass hysteria.
@Balthus23 whats the title or tag line?
Did i see JAMES no. 6 on 1:41 ??
yes but pippen didnt raise his own stats is those 2 seasons(93-94.94-95).jordan didnt keep down pippens stats.even without jordan pippen didnt have more fga which means that jordan didnt hold pippen offencive game down so your theory about ''less significant stats when you play wih jordan'' is wrong.jordan made pippen what he was,ofcourse pippen had the tallent to be so good but without jordan he wouldnt be so great.
04:26 THIRTY-NINE ???? !!! Incredible...!!
so where is it
3:09 Paul Pierce talking to Ric Hamilton? :)
That's because Pippen was more of a Floor leader and all around player who if you look at his stats were much more then offense. Also when you play with JORDAN for your career your going to have much less significant Stats then you would playing without JORDAN. Look at PIPPENS Stats the 93-94 year when JORDAN retired the first time. PIPPEN Led the Bulls team in every Statistic. SCORING, REBOUNDING, ASSISTS, STEALS, BLOCKS ETC ETC..
1:44 "there was no way to put the ball up to the rim" yeah right, if MJ was in his 20s, hed dunked that shit with his feet.
4:26 i know theres no shame at losing with the best but dayum.
MJ the legend :)
kobe the best :)
Købe mejor ke jordan ? Ho diras el mejor de hoy en.dia porke si kieres decir ke købe es mejor ke Jordan solo basta mirar læs estadisticas de cada uno para darse cuenta ke michael es muy superior
@BC21beats no no D wade is lucky he wasnt playing in jordans era because they would all say D wade who?
