MJ hit 15 of 31 shots to lead the Bulls past the Heat in game one of the Eastern Conference Finals, 84-77. Jordan scored 37 points and Pippen added a solid 24.
and at 7:52... the reaction to the defense is amazing, knowing dan is blocking the lane he switch and change his speed by doing the hop step and find the opening... this is a great game for mj, so many great moves, so many splitting the defense. he is smart and graceful to watch.
What a great game and series this was. Miami was awesome back the late 90s. Two of the greatest teammates if all time vs one of the best 'big man/small man' of all time. Too bad Rodman cheapshotted Mourning, but there's very little ANY team could do against 90s Bulls.
Miami had some really good team's back then. The problem was you had to go through Chicago... And this guy wearing#23 Jersey. Which means basically you had no chance!
i looked at this a number of times to see if it was a travel.. but.. concluded that its not a travel. when he took the hop step, he was grabing the ball from the bounce.. therefore still dribbling. after that, he took 2 steps which is allowed before letting the ball go.
Pat Riley had to retire MJ's number in Miami, because he knew this man prevented the Heat from winning at least a couple titles during his tenure as head coach 😂
@dinozzoff i simply agree. amidst talk about the current players,esp kobe catching up..jordan was a phenomenon,aint no other like him. they criticize us 4 holding on and not acknowledgng the present..we r great for the present players dts y its a shame for others who nvr had the chnce to see mj play..say outrageous comments. but well,gonna love the nba..still.lol♥
Miami did had a decent yr that yeat goign 61-21 too bad the Bulls were way better than a 61 win team. When you think of these Bulls you automativally think 67 plus wins
i mean the move on 3:30 i am sorry. also the play at 3:46...that's just crazy. see the distance he creates from the defender, it is more than 6 ft!!how many of these guys would expect mj to drive in to the paint even when he is this old!!? mj is still lighting fast in this year and he just read through any one who is guarding him.
Everyone says Knicks should of been in this series.. No matter who is in this series the Bulls would of sen dem home.. Da 97 knicks were good but not as tough as the 92 and 93 Knicks. Da knicks where da X Man got in Jordan Face and them throwing bodies at Jordan in 92 and in 93 where da knciks had home court and a 2-0 lead ..So whatevea ppl say that Knicks would of beaten da Bulls in this series is crazy. No way Jordan would make that happen.Ya they probably push dem to 7 games but would you
@pogithebear its not a travel just take a look again (pause at 7:51), coz he landed on right foot while the left foot still on the air and he make one another step with his left foot
that play on 0:30 is just great!! split the d and finish off with the left. he made it look so easy. but to change the speed and see how the defense react require great deal of stamina and court vision. really if anyone want to compare any nowadays players to this guy is a pure joke.
