Revenge! Michael Jordan 1996 NBA ECF Great Performance 

Thank God I lived through every single moment of watching the 🐐 !!!! MJ!!!

the golden era of basketball.

Just not get bored watch this! MJ plays basketball like artist!

I remember these days. Now they are all friends and rivalries are over.

I know MJ is the greatest of all time. Yet, every time I watch him, I'm amazed at his skill, will and determination to win. There is nobody that has ever played who can match up with him. He may not be the perfect player but, he certainly comes the closest. Frankly, comparing LBJ to MJ, is an insult to MJ!

GOAT! Period!

MJ all the time, he is the goat

What a grace ....mj , what an era for basketball , no tattoos ,no flopping ,no travelling , no 3,5 hours per game ...just pure beautiful basketball .sorry but today's nba is unwatchable....

Jordan is so smooth !!!

I feel like we should always remind the young folks of this... This isn't MJ's prime. This was after retirement, and he was in mid-30s.

He's so good too good in every aspects of the game, technically perfect, you imagine today that no player could stop him, I'm sure, his technical mastery, his perfect body, his very high basketball IQ, his spirit of winning at all costs were at a level never achieved to date, the best player in history

MJ🐐

Black socks playoff era for the Bulls...miss this era soooooo much. i was addicted as a kid back then. I rem this time period like yesterday. Bulls were hellbent on beating Orlando that year after getting embarrassed in 95. this is GOAT shyt by MJ here...by this time, he had mastered that fadeaway

There are few things in life scarier than bringing the ball up staring at a Jordan-Pippen trap.

So many great players without a championship because of the GOAT 🐐

Jordan is the🐏

The goat in action

Jordan and Pippin were assassins on defense. Oh yeah Rodman was out there too owning the rebounds. No team in history was so complete yet talented.

Could you imagine, now that we all know what type of a competitor he was, (After "The Last Dance") what type of *WORLDWIND Workouts, Grueling Weight Sessions, Ardent Film Study* he did to challenge himself to get back to the level of not having any weakness in competition❓️ To be a fly on the wall and watch *The Master* feverishly working on his craft again during those months after the embarrassment he felt losing to Orlando, and the drive he must have had, knowing *HE'D SEE THEM AGAIN* the following season must have been amazing to watch❗️❗️❗️ Was there ever doubt, in his mind after that journey, after Orlando defeated the Bulls with a young up and coming Penny Hardaway, an experienced Horace Grant, an the up and coming *Powerful Force* Shaquille O'Neal that he, MJ could come back the victor❓️ I watch this vid and really wonder about those things 🤔 How he felt after coming back from baseball and then losing, 📉 like that, (The Last Time He Felt That Way Was Probably When The Pistons Were Flexing Their Dominance In The Late 80's, Early 90's)! All I'm say is, for him to play at the level he did after what they, (Orlando did to him and the Bulls the season before),,,"That Must Have Been An Insane Cycle Period Of Months Of Hard Work, Training And Dedication And A Real And True Meaning Of The Term, *Blood Sweat And Tears* that he put himself through to get back to the level that we're seeing him at here in this vid❗️❗️❗️ Other Than Muhammad Ali, and Tiger Woods, I can't think of another athlete more driven when it comes to Flawless, Peak Performance to where it's so apparent that he's on such a higher level than his peers and contemporaries! Wilt maybe, and Mr. B Russ has to be factored in, I just wasn't around when they played, but just considering who MJ faced, from Bird, Magic, Kareem, Doc, Isiah, Hakeem, K. Malone, Tim Duncan, Sir Charles, those Knicks, Pistons, Pacers, and Heat Squads of the 80's and 90's😱! And not to discredit his Bulls teammates, and not to discount the shooters in today's league, but to do what he did in that era, against the type and style of defenses played back then is "Ultra Amazing" to me. Michael Jordan, "The 🐐 Goat"! Forever Legend....

So glad you still post these 🙏🏾

The Goat: Part 2 (1995-1998). 3 NBA Championships in a row (including 3 Finals MVP in a row). Enough said.

I just like how Basketball History repeats itself.. jordan came back in 45 Ball stolen & following year in top Basketball shape he returns the favor ,,stole the ball from penny ,,slapped ball out of hand ..just love it what a sweep I mean sweet feeling

Jordan is the goat.

The midrange king..

96 was a good year all around

Before the retire he was explosive Jordan, after coming back, he was lights out from mid range Jordan. lol

Goat 🐐!!

🐐

He fell down and got defeated by Orlando in 1995. Didn't give up. Didn't cry. Worked harder, teamed up stronger in 1996, revenge successful

a parade of basketball royalty

🐐 🙏🏾

MJ The Master Baller🎉

Goat

Jordan said its Not a 1 individual Team, everybody Stepped Up (((12:00)))

45 points in the closeout sweep after Nick Anderson said "45 ain't 23". I'm sure it was a coincidence

Only 2 teams in NBA history have a shot at beating the 96' Bulls: 86' - 87' Lakers and the 85' - 86' Celtics! Both Bird & Magic had more Hall of Fame talent and better-supporting casts, but (like Steven A Smith said) Chicago had MJ! Bulls in 7 against either!

Jordan is the 🏦

This Jordan was torturing the magic moment. No magical for the magic.

Damn MJs three shooting style was like a canon hahahaha. Shooting all the way straight up to the basket instead of an arch or rainbow style hahahahaha

it’s so satisfying to see jordan steal the ball from anderson at 3:17. that’s vindication from anderson’s steal in the 95 playoffs.

96-97-98 funny days

The second best revenge of mj and the bulls the first vs the badboys pistons in 91

If you could Rain in that many 2's......OH WELL

He moves the way i moves

The golden era of the NBA. An era we will never see again. No tattoos, no crazy hair (except for Rodman of course), no gangbangers, everyone was clean cut, professional, and there were some intense rivalries. Those days are long gone. Today's NBA is complete trash.

Mike is the goat. Kobe was Dam close and Queen Jamie doesn't even pass the eye test in comparison to Larry legend.

It is a myth that Jordan was a bad 3-point shooter. For the era, he was average and maybe even above average.

To me the true revenge moment was 3:17 when he stole the ball from Nick Anderson. That echoed Anderson's steal on MJ in 95. And look at that subtle ball fake at 2:58 and how it got Shaw to bite completely. It is the result of a reputation of being able to instantly attack from left or right off the dribble. You never see Lebrick getting that kind of space with his slow-mo cookie cutter jab step have you?

1:37 SHOT CLOCK VIOLATION

Phil Jackson was Blessed to Coach Kobe Jordan and Michael Bryant , 🤫

I am GOAT

What this current gen needs to understand, is that Jordan won 6 championships where +80% of his points were 2 pointers….. TWO pointers…. Not 3s.

Who's playground is it? It Michael Jordan's playground!!

Dam masa gua di sipin michel jordan"

No need to do a bunch of dribbling moves all through the legs. 2-3 dribbles get to your spot.

It is funny how these millennials say and criticize the way these guys used to play or the 90s game. There are many videos to proof that the defenders didnt stand there and roll a red carpet for their opponents. You can obviously see with your own eyes that back then no one stood up still looking at the other player passing by or shooting the ball that easily. Now, todays game, its another dimension hahahaha where players not only admire the other players destruction against their team but roll a red carpet for such a character so called the king to see him passing by for an easy dunk hahahahahaabhaha

RevenGe

M 5

Do people realize my was one of the greatest shooters of all time.I would say top5

The GOAT b$!tch3$!

The Chicago bulls was the best

This NBA basketball...sorry but today..lame...

lakers and bron losing to nuggets 0-4 in the playoffs. hahaha...the goat debate stopped.

I ain't Shaq

I thought Jordan wasn't a good 3 point shooter?

It's so misleading to say he came back in '95. lol He didn't play even 25% of the season's games, if memory serves, after playing baseball for 1.5 years. I understand it's more dramatic to present it otherwise, but I find it to be one of the weaker criticisms of him from detractors.

Remember when Horace Grant and Orlando beat the fonie goat

He lost the year prior

If you ask me Jordan created monster's the likes of all the shooters in this day in age because everyone wanted to be him from my era and the new breed are even more animated with the imitation of him, the number 23 the fade away, Even though his DNA is arguably in when he became great and was studied by other professional players in the NBA; He's still not the GOAT. Just a billionaire trend setter. I'm not mad at the black man that brings us motivation. But he's not the GOAT 😂
