      Yeah tell me about it , when the end scores were 72-69. And 1 dude won all the chips going up against a whole lot of short guards that couldn't guard him. The only guy that could guard him was on his team. Give me pick and rolls and step backs and actual parate please and thank u.

      Yes LeBron is a slightly better passer. However I would have to disagree with you on the gap being wide between these two.
      1) Mj has accomplished a lot more on both ends of the court as an individual player in much fewer years. Also The Chicago Bulls accomplished more in less time than any nba finals team that LeBron has ever been apart of.
      2) The distance between mj and LeBron is the following
      1) 1 league mvp
      2) 2 finals MVPs
      3) 4 all defensive nba first team
      selections.
      4)9 scoring titles.
      5) 3 steals titles.
      6) 1 defensive player of the year award.
      Let’s not even get into the game winners and buzzer beaters.
      The distance between these two especially at the peak of their careers is that of an entire hall of fame career.

I had my white Anthony Mason Jersey on and The Garden was the ONLY arena where we would give Jordan and the Bulls HELL! There was always your group of front running Bulls fans at The Garden but they didnt act crazy cause they knew better they in MSG, COME ON NOW!!! LOL Jordan loved playing here 1 cause he was born in Brooklyn and 2 us Knick fans would give him hell and Jordan loved that about us lol!! But for some reason I knew he was going to have a great game!! He didnt miss anything!! Starks did not know what to do!! I remember yelling in the 4th quarter "Yo Starks!! WHAT IS UP DOG, DO SOMETHING TO STOP HIM" And Starks must of heard me cause he looked right at me and just shrugged his shoulders like he was saying im trying everything!! what you want me to do!!! But MJ could not be stopped that game, he was NBA JAM "HE'S HEATING UP"!! THEN ON FIRE LIKE FLAMES WERE GOING THROUGH THE BASKET EVERYTIME HE MADE A SHOT!!!! It proved he indeed was back!! And yea being a die hard Knick fan I was just in Awwww on his performance and he was loving every minute of it!!! My pops told me during the game "Shawn remember this game cause you will NEVER see a performance in person like Jordan is putting on right now"!! It was me 16 years old at the time, my pops, and my little brother Kevin who was 10 at the time and was the only knick game we ever went to that he didnt ask me pops to take him to the bathroom lol thats how much he was into what he was witnessing on that court that day!!! It still remains one of my favorite memories growing up and I will NEVER EVER FORGET THE DOUBLE NICKEL GAME NEVER!!! THE NIGHT JORDAN TOOK OVER MSG AND LET THE ENTIRE NBA THAT "HE'S BACK" SMH HE HAD 20 POINTS IN THE 1ST QUARTER ALONE I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO HIT 60 BUT HE WAS ONLY 5 POINTS AWAY FROM MY PREDICTION I TOLD MY POPS AFTER THE 1ST QUARTER!! AND ALSO THANK YOU TO MY POPS FOR SURPRISING ME AND MY BROTHER WITH THE TICKETS TO THE GAME THAT HE SHOWED US THE MORNING OF SMH THAT WAS MY POPS LOVED TO SURPRISE US AND SEE US HAPPY AND A SMILE ON MINE AND MY BROTHERS FACE ALWAYS!!! JUST HAD TO SHARE THIS MEMORY!! AND STILL IM A DIE HARD KNICKS FAN FOREVER

    Everything about 90s basketball from the NBA to college was head and shoulders above everything today. Its almost crazy how badly something can devolve in 20 years. The way they played the game, the way they sold and marketed the NBA from the introduction on TV to the post game was just simply better. The NBA today needs to get rid of the defensive 3 second, bring back hand Checking and eliminate the "freedom of movement" rule. Todays players have some athletes, but you just don't see much skill, or competitiveness in the games anymore. The will to win, the determination on defense to stop the opposing team from scoring is what basketball is supposed to be. They have killed the NBA man. And it hurts my heart so much to watch the sport i love go into what it has become.

      This is not a playoffs game. It is after mid season soon after Jordan came back from playing baseball.

      3 point shooting, pick and roll, and defensive rules (zone) is changing that. Many guys in the 90s would struggle in today's NBA - assuming they didn't adapt of course.

      Except they are much slower and weaker.. 90% of the players back then wouldn't make it to the d league

    Ich komme aus Deutschland und war im Jahr 1995 gerade einmal 15 Jahre alt.
    Ich vermisse die Zeit, wo ich den Deutschen Fernsehsender DSF geguckt habe, mitten in der Nacht die Spiele von HisAirness live im TV geguckt habe und ein paar Stunden später dann total müde hier in Deutschland (Wuppertal) zur Schule gegangen bin.
    Nach der Schule haben wir dann auf unseren Schulhof Luniz gehört und Basketball gespielt. Ich kann sagen, ich war dabei 👌
    Ich habe noch alle meine Jordan Karten aus den 90s 💪💪
    Junge Menschen die sagen, dieser LeBron ist der beste, haben Jordan nie spielen sehen.
    MJ23/45 vor ever 💗
