Hoops I don't think you're around anymore but this is one of the games from Haberstroh's article (hit piece). I noted one steal (in terms of collecting the deflection by Sam Vincent) and I confirmed MJ's block around the 3:25ish mark. Michael does deflect a pass late in this video that was not fully secured so I don't think it was credited to anyone but if you had all 5 steals he was credited with, we can sink the article.
This is the 86-87 season in November 86. I looked it up on pro basketball reference and confirmed that Jordan had the one block he was credited with. I was lucky but I don't know that I'll locate the steals (they may not have been included in the highlights.)
He single-handedly carry them to the playoffs his first two years and he had no help but a bunch of drug addict bums and people want to try to discredit him because he was beaten by the bucks and the Celtics both teams had multiple All-Stars and he was the whole damn bulls team
58 points with 11:11 to go in the 4th quarter, and ppl still use stats with a straight face as if career injuries, career playing time, league rules, team philosophy, pace of play for the era as a whole don't play a role in stats that have nothing to do with how good a guy was at the game of basketball
Worthy also in the game, as is Matt Daugherty (one of the two coaches who was part of the transition between Dean Smith and Roy Williams--I can't remember the other coach who was in between).
This is why this man is the goat. You had to have seen him do it to know that this man is the goat. I'm telling you not no clips not just some somebody putting up on their page that they made no to actually witness. Them games on live TV man was incredible. That's why y'all cannot turn us from who the greatest of all times is we know
This is why there will be no one better than him ever easily. He went out here and done this easily. Lord have mercy if this was a young Michael Jordan Jesus
It was a fans, dream come true. Being a Jordan fan through my adolescence and teens. Followed him through college and never looked away, got WGN for bulls games...So awesome to witness a great career, thank you MJ. And thanks for the post!!
It's May 2024 and I was watching the TWolves sweeping the Suns. Anthony Edwards is getting hyped as the new Michael Jordan. So I came back to watch the original. Been an NBA fan since 1991 and it's never too tiresome to watch MJ highlights.
I love the lyrics of the song being played for the last few minutes of this video: "Don't think about all those things you fear, just be glad to be here." They pretty much sum up MJ's career in regards to his so called competition.
