- An excerpt from the Wizards Jordan documentary. Jordan had shut down Sprewell a week earlier
(12-14-2001), and shut him down even worse in the MSG rematch (12-22-01)
Sprewell'ss coring tailed off at the end of the 2001/02 season (19.4 ppg on 40%), but at the time of both games that Jordan shut him down, Spree was averaging 20.7 ppg on 44%. Sprewell also averaged 26 ppg against the Duncan/Robinson Spurs in the 1999 Finals - กีฬา

The announcers say "Jordan hasn't been hitting shots lately down the stretch." Then BOOM GAME WINNER AGAIN!! Almost like he could hear them!!
Age 38 and still hitting game winners at Msg,GOAT.
Don't forget spree had 26 jordan 17 in his rookie season
@@byronherrera628 Nobody said Spree wasn't a good player. Jordan was just better.
2:48 Look at where MJ took off... at age 38!!!
To be fair, Spree missed a lot of open shots, compound that with good defence by Jordan, he had a shocking game. Sprewell a very underrated player and if there was no Jordan games, I always look forward to watching Spree.
+MrYoumitube ...i watched first two minutes...You r right ..title is misleading. Spree just did not hit open jumpers ..and MJ defense has nothing to do with it... But...I am fan of MJ so I assume that when Mike is on the court then hitting open jumpers is tougher then in any other game. :)
+MrYoumitube Spree always missed shots though. He was a scorer, but he wasn't afraid to miss. He wasn't afraid of shit.
+kacper pawlowski exactly, and that is why his defense HAS something to do with it. it's mental. you could clearly see mj purposely sagging off spree, begging him to shoot a wide open j, that he indeed misses. All mental my friend, that's part of the reality as much as physical presence ;)
agreed
no one will ever match or ever be like Michael Jordan...period...his the greatest player ever lived...👍👌
I agree that he was the GOAT but the closest thing to Jordan in terms of the skill set and style of play is Kobe.
I think Spree was just nervous being guard by MJ
This game was shaped to end exactly how it did..
Just like in the old days... 3 seconds left in the game BOOM Jordan for the win !! Love it !!
I always Loved Sprewell growing up, but being from Chicago distinctly remember Sprewell never playing well against Jordan!!
...and the winning basket in his face?!? Michael was beyond human
What did Spree say or do to him? Part of playing defense is taking your man off their game, both physically and mentally. Spree aint one to fuck with, he doesn't back down. MJ really took him out mentally in this one. Also notice how MJ switches off and disrupts not just the man he's playing but the other players as well. Constantly making people lift their dribble, force a shot, make a pass. He denies and forces player out of their comfort zone. Why is Spree taking so many 3s? MJ is forcing him to do so.
4:34 the play is to run Spree off multiple screens to get him a good look either a curl to get an open J or a good post up shot. MJ hounds him, goes over the screen, prevents Spree from getting the ball not once but twice, cuts off angles and forces them to pass somewhere else. That alone is a win he took away their 1st option. But he's not done. He then steps into the lane to force the driving player into a bad rushed shot. He does this multiple times throughout the game, not just this game but his entire career. MJ does so much defensively that goes unnoticed. It's a beautiful work of art once you know what to look for. His instincts and IQ are off the charts. Sure, he'll get beat from time to time but that's part of the game when you're a defender. You're gonna get beat because you dare to be active and take chances. Whereas some players are literally pushed to play defense.
Here is the home of NY Knicks, but seems the fans are supporting MJ 😂
Spree was just off, he likes those shots. He always shot on the move didn't gather himself. That last play showed Jordan had a big strength advantage.
Loool i dont understand how those young stars didnt take the opportunity in 2001-03 to dominate an old MJ and get some good highlights and build up their confidence. Sure Mj wasnt gonna back down and he had all the tricks, but seeing those guys get intimidated and get shut down by an old ass Mj is just embarrassing. Tmac, Pierce, Vince..... what the hell were those guys thinking? That this league was suddenly theirs without beating the old lion?
Cmon son. Those mfs were softer than charmin. I guarantee you Mj didnt respect them. Watch some Vc game from this Mj Wizards era, deflecting Mj questions like he is annoyed, yet you know how deep down he fears Mj tearing him a new asshole and shutting him down defensively, and guess what, thats exactly what happens.
Luckily for all these guys Mj couldnt really drag the Wizards to playoffs because then he would REALLY tap that ass and let those self doubt demons sneak up on fools.
Only Kobe ofc lit up Mj in those years and sent his old ass into retirement with a 55-point game lol
Iverson lit him up too every time the 76ers played those Wizards. The last game MJ played before he retired from the Wizards was the 76ers. One thing I disagree with is young folks saying Jordan couldn't score as easily on zone defense. They don't know Jordan played against zones during his Wizards years. Zone defense was added during the 2001-02 NBA season. The only player I remember having trouble beating it that year was T-Mac.
@@moeschizlac I dont recall MJ really guarding AI in those two seasons, that would be foolish, AI was too quick. There would be a lot of highlights and crossovers and MJ wouldnt like his legacy to suffer by being repeatedly broken off the dribble by Allen.
He was killing Spreewell, Vince, Tmac, Pierce.... all the supposed stars but they would get intimidated and blown up by old ass MJ.
Even Dillon dumass Brooks is shooting 3s in old ass Lebron face so you can kinda see the difference here, Lebron is still good at 39-40 but he aint shutting anybody down or scoring in heaps (except occasionally). Aaron Gordon can hold him down.
misleading. MJ doesn't shut down Latrell Sprewell. Sprewell misses all of the uncontested shots with Jordan 5 feet away.
Basketball is also a mental game. Jordan was probably trash talking the kid throughout, daring him to take the open jumpshots adding more pressure. That's why he's able to shut down a lot of scorers... and only a few people aren't fazed by that type of trash talk from MJ or anyone in general like Kobe, Paul Pierce, McGrady, etc.
Iverson :)
look at all the cornrows. Hamilton with the rows.....forgot about that. Thanks to Iverson
Half Man, Half Amazing telling Spree " at least i scored in the first half''
Jordan was exacting revenge on Sprewell for making the 1994 All-NBA First Team.
Jordan firmly believed that though he wasn't actually in the league in '94, that SG spot should've gone to him.
Classic Jordan grudge match.
Wait a second Marvin, please confirm that you truly believe my original comment was serious. In writing.
Marvin, c'mon bruh.
Jordan playing baseball then, he gave a shit about Sprewell and NBA
Hahaha 😛
I think it was more of a mental thing. just the fact of him trying to out play MJ, not mj's defense. click bait lol
"When the tongue is out, the shot is in"
What's crazy is Jordan counted to infinity on this same day.
Jordan actually doesn't need to be around Sprewell to pressure Sprewell to miss. He only has to glare at Sprewell, that's already enough to make Sprewell miss.
gentleman... Mind you playing good defense doesn't necessarily mean you always have to be up on the player it's a psychological things you made do to him on other please to where he's thinking about his shot even when he's open as opposed to just letting it flow naturally.. I was sleep Jordan frustrated him to the point to where she was even thinking about him when he was in a lot around using the bathroom lol
so I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt here and ill watch and check the stats Maybe your right.But I doubt it. Latrell averaged 30PPG in the Finals...that's Jordan type numbers
all day
Oups, Rip without protective.
LOL Popeye Jones....those were the days LOL
This is MJ fanboy crap. Latrell was an excellent player and competitor. At the very least you could've shown footage of them going at it instead of this one-sided groupie footage. My goodness
+Agent of Chaos fuckin groupie. This is bullshit footage
+Agent of Chaos It's edited you bitch ass groupie
Agent of Chaos and you exude the intellect of a gnat's ass... As well as the character of a groupie.
+Agent of Chaos yeah, they're born with their mental illness... like pedaphiles, rapists and sociopaths. same DEVIANT tendencies to defile humanity. And weak lames like yourself have been successfully brainwashed into embracing their bad choice to follow their urges.
@@testostyrone33 calm down bronsexual
bullying a bully
It's not MJ shutting down spreewell in this..... spree just having an off night.... Michael allowed latrell to take a lot of shots to begin with.....
Maybe MJ just talked trash to him and he freaked out.... it happened many times during Jordan's carrier..
Mj said Latrell should have paid a penalty for choking his coach.Mj should paid with his A.. whenever he punched a team mate.these were grown men.Mj lost his mind after he retired and is a jerk
maybe mj wanted spree taking those shots?? do you think spree wanted to take midrange shots?
Lmao 🤣
A potato could've been guarding Spree and I'm pretty sure it would've been the same result.
+Timothy Borile You know nothing about basketball, just go eat your potato. MJ obviously got in his head, Sprewell had to defend MJ on the other end and he couldn't get in a rhythm because he knows he is getting embarrassed by a living fossil.
Easy game with Jordan on the team
Lo volvió shit
Another reason why Jordan is a GOAT 🐐 and not LeBron
Another bias jordan video…this had to do more with the zone help defense in forcing Latrell into a trap or long shot 👌
You mean him calling for screens on and off the ball virtually every possession? Lol, you saw MJ in the title and got trigged without watching the video😚. Dude just stepped out of bounds on the final possession lmao.

*2004 NBA WCF*
_prime Kobe_
24.3 ppg 4.0 rpg 5.5 apg 1.5 spg 0.3 bpg on 41%
_33 year old Sprewell_
20.8 ppg 4.0 rpg 5.0 apg 1.5 spg 0.0 bpg on 41%
almost identical performances. Kobe averaged a few more points but the same FG%
Yet Wizards Mike with broken ribs and no knees at 38 shut him down in back to back meetings.... lolololololol. More proof Kobe is not close to Mike
LMAO,Kobe drop 55 points vs this MJ. your comparison and conclusion really LMAO .
Kobe never played Wizards Jordan until after his knee injury happened. The pre-injury Wizards Jordan was better than any version of Kobe. And besides he dropped 55 on Jerry Stackhouse not on MJ
4 ppg is sortve a huge difference in points man lol
+Kobe Not Top 100 so? MJ vs Fox 23pts w/lose > Kobe vs Stackhouse 55pts w/win?
Kobe never played Wizards Mike until after his knee injury happened so none of those numbers matter
wth is going here
Old man
Lol
some bs
Spreewell just choked...
#sorry
😂😂😂😂😂 Spree is trash
This is horribly edited. If an alien landed & watched this as it's first impression of basketball, I'm sure it wouldn't dig it. Nothing but bricks, missed shots.. what is this? I like the few great Jordan moments, and as a Warriors fan, I never liked Sprewell, so I like his fails, but most of this is unwatchable.
Stop crying
