What is truly amazing about Jordan and to this day i still can't believe my eyes, is the ability to score, he just could do it in anyone's face anytime anywhere, he is one of those guys, that it doesn't matter what you do, he is going to find a way to score. And with the Sonics, they played him as good as you could play him defensively, i mean they were a hell of a team. But it made no difference, it was like it just made him more determined. Simply the GOAT.
Mike holds the all time ppg avg. and yes that's counting his days with the wizards. it's funny too me when people say this and that. the man was a machine !
charles stevenson. All time ppg in the regular season, playoffs and Finals. Led the league in total points scored all 11 full seasons he played as a Bull, while shooting over 50%FG on high volume. And did it 100 different ways. MJ was unbelievable.
@@Patawon He's the best at shooting 3's we've ever seen based on the numbers. But he's not the best overall shooter of All-Time or the most CLUTCH. Those are still debatable...
Nobody was a Jordan stopper however I would say that from a straight on ball defender GP probably gave MJ the most trouble outside of the Pistons “Jordan Rules”. But that being said the GOAT will always find a way to infiltrate the defence.
@@bigheartproductions5603 that's the reason why he is Unstoppable he always find ways to beat you John Stark said in an interview when Jordan scored 54 points on him after he scored only 22 points the previous one he got pissed off told Phil Jackson give me the damn ball and get the f*** out of the way he destroyed the New York Knicks with 54 points and he was glaring and laughing and challenging them to the Core like you can't stop me 😂
Gary Payton was called "the Glove" for a reason, one of the best defensive guards in NBA history. At times his defense could slow down slow even the great Michael Jordan, but to pretend like Gary could really "shut down" Michael is a joke. Jordan at his best would annihilate Payton every time, there really isn't anything Gary can do to stop it. MJ took his foot off the gas after the Bulls got the 3-0 lead in the Finals against the Sonics. Gary disrupted his game for a few games, because Gary is awesome, but the Bulls still won in six. MJ = GOAT
The Sonics managed to win game 4 and 5 mainly because Ron Harper got injured. Harper only played a total of 14 minutes combined during those two games. Kerr only managed to hit two 3 pointers during those games which is pathetic for someone whose role is mainly to spot-up and shoot. He needed to make a lot more than that considering he is open on most of his shots, also to negate his liability on defense.
Wu Liwei Yup. Ron Harper got injured early in the 2nd quarter of game 4 and the Bulls were already caught them off guard being too comfortable and started the game slow. Losing a starter obviously made it much harder for them to overcome a deficit. Jordan did a relatively good job on Payton defensively whenever he could but Payton still went to work when Kerr and Brown was in-front of him. They also had to check Hawkins as they didn't hesitate to find him if he had a mismatch. Bulls' front-court was getting out-played mainly by Kemp, so they can't overplay and help their back-court as much with Harper out. Harper ended up playing only 13 minutes in game 4 and 1 minute in game 5 and those were the games they lost to the Sonics. It's obvious that the Bulls didn't execute the adjustments that their coaching staff has devised for game 5 because they had only lost their first game of the series and they're still complacent because of how they blow-out the Sonics in the first 3 games. And also maybe the thought of game 6 being scheduled on Father's day did influence Jordan's performance in games 5 and the fact that him and Pippen needed to risk a lot more by playing their hardest at this stage to end the series 4-1. Pippen's condition was also no where near optimal and Kukoc was also hurt during the 2nd round against the Knicks and by this time almost every player has some problem with their body so it must have been crazy difficult at that stage to balance taking risks and playing hard. Maybe it was mentally and physically impossible for them to win game 4 and 5 but in the end they ended the series in 6 games which is more than good enough and that's all that matters.
Coaches worldwide, don’t EVER say anything to attempt to take this guy off his game. That is when he elevates his god given talent and ability. That is when greatness gets Better‼️
I rember this game. Coach was talkin how mj was a jump shooter. At his point his game was so complete if you gave him the jump shot with single coverage he gonna take it all day.
This is MJ's secret to being unstoppable!, perfecting his mid range..when you grew older your body wont be athletic as it used to be so catching oops,,driving all day,,posting up will not work always anymore..so perfecting your jumpshot will make your life easier as you grow older..I think Lbj will not have any rings in 2 years..his great but he has so many weaknesses unlike MJ.
The most interesting thing about this channel, or ine the most beacause of the joy of watching the highlights and moves, is to analyse what made Jordan the best player and how he become so effective late in his career. He was a prodigy in his 20's during the 80's, but then he makes some adjustements that completely changed his game into a totally different style. It is said that Kobe played like Jordan, but to be accurate, KB played like an old MJ during the most part of his career. He was an explosive teen when he came to the league, and of course his game was quicker than later, but he always tried to emulate the second three peat Jordan offensive pack. And that is because is one the most efficient scoring modes of all time. Thanks once again for the daily highlights!
Marrione Silva This is when he really developed his post up though, he's probably the BEST perimeter post up player of all time. I love mid range basketball and post ups, that's why I miss the 90s....Jordan was amazing at both, and so efficient. Kobe, Carmelo, and Dwyane wade developed those aspects, and now Demar Derozan and Kawhi Leonard are good at mid range and post ups(Kawhi at post ups and midrange).
Marrione Silva very well said. u definitely know basketball. . mjs mid range game and footwork where perfection. . . lebron is a poor shooter and has poor footwork. that is why ultimately i do not rate him as great as other people do. footwork and shooting are so important. thats why lebron wants a playmaker. his lack of those parts of his game. . along with not being clutch or a killer. . mj on the other hand is the goat. . there will never be anybody better. he is God playing basketball
Theng Yang because he's a great three point shooter.. last time I checked 3 is more than 2 and he shoots it at 45% which prolly a little less than mj at the mid range, he's also the best (I think) percentage wise at finishing at the rim so that makes up for him not shooting mid range shots, he also can't really shoot mid range jump shots with the type of shot form he has which is one motion because he would be over shooting it all the time, which is why he uses floaters more than a jump shot at midrange
therealist811 MJ's competition is also nothing compared to Curry's when it comes to defense, curry has to face strong athletic players with great and deceptive ball handling skills almost everynight, plus on top of that he can't be as physical as players back in the day with the rules being the way they are. The reasons people say Jordan had a harder time on offensive then modern day players are the same reasons he had an easier time on defense.
therealist811 Elite ballhandlers of HIS TIME, people dont handle the ball the same nowadays, Michael's athletism is pretty much the average level of athletism nowadays so he would have a harder time (still would be great) nowadays, he was bigger and wider than most player back in his which you said which proves my point because he's not bigger or wider than most players nowadays
He probably meant it would have been his hardest at his own level,but since MJ could do whatever he wanted vs his rivals, then MJ was unstoppable that made Gary Payton look like his Student!
that's a more difficult angle and farther than the logo threes the players of today brag about. he has one against Utah in '93 from the midcourt line and like this one, his shooting form is still intact.
The only scorer today that is reminiscent of MJ is KD. He hits those tough mid range shots where you're like "Damn how the fuck did he make that". And you know when he gets the ball that its going in the basket.
Hold up,I thought those Lebron fans were right when they told me the “glove “ Gary Payton,defensive player of the year,could 🔒 mj down .mj said,I had a lot of things on my mind. So with a clear mind and the glove getting help from 6’ 10” all-star Shawn Kemp,jordan drop 45points 68% fg .that’s Jordanesq
He PURPOSELY didn’t care about shooting 3’S and why should he when u couldn’t stop his POST..DEADLY MIDRANGE or driving to the basket..POINTS nowadays are so MISLEADING bcuz they Jack so many 3’s😳
@FrYLocK41 kobe has better midrnage percent free-throw and from 10-16 kobe is better so yes kobe better shooter lebrick can't even make midrange shots and free-throw consistently
Wasn't George Karl saying some relatively benign trash before this game, which was a dumbass move because MJ got motivated as usual, for some random reason? The secret with MJ would be to glorify him in the media as the GOAT before the series/ a game to make him content and passive, but secretly go for the jugular and try to kill his ass. Whoever made the smart decision to talk some junk which he could take personal, was in for a PAINFUL night
Kobe was great but he never averaged higher than 47% in his entire career. His “arsenal” didn’t get the job done as good as Jordan’s. Jordan shot 68% in this game and a shade under 50% for his career, with his best years between 52-54%. What he had worked better - objectively speaking - than what Kobe had. Look it up yourself.

19 OF 28, MJ was just too damn good
And did you see the difficult ass shots he was taking contested jumpers ….still nailing them
He was a killer
Good lawd that Jumpshot was a thang of beauty!
The Jordan 12 were so comfy and had so much bounce!
45 of his team's 91 points against one of the best defenses in the league!wow....
Mike holds the all time ppg avg. and yes that's counting his days with the wizards. it's funny too me when people say this and that. the man was a machine !

Lol as a wizard he became the oldest player to average 20ppg and oldest to record 40 or more in a game. GOAT
The "Jumpshot" game.. a classic!
Damn i miss real basketball…
Jordan still🐐
A jumpshot from halfcourt. Not a heave. A jumper. Unreal.
Steph Curry has done it a few times.
Jay Harris Curry is the best we've ever seen at shooting, so yea....
Jamal Wallace Ok, thanks for that unknown fact.
Jay Harris Well that's Curry's best. We will see if he can make a fadeway shot some day
@@Patawon He's the best at shooting 3's we've ever seen based on the numbers. But he's not the best overall shooter of All-Time or the most CLUTCH. Those are still debatable...
And they say Payton was a Jordan stopper back then. Pfffffffff!!!!!!! 🤣🤣

Jordan speaking on basketball shows how untouchable he is, the pretenders lack his fluency, KoBron.
I rember this game. Coach was talkin how mj was a jump shooter. At his point his game was so complete if you gave him the jump shot with single coverage he gonna take it all day.
When Michael Jordan played against Gary Payton Gary Payton turned into the hand mitten
That jumper is so smooth..
G.O. A.T

that mid range J was so fluid, it was cash as soon as he shot it, LBJ is nowhere near Michael Jordan....the hype of lebron james is nautious

THIS was the answer to all saying that PAYTON guard him well on the FINALS and that RODMAN was the reason they won.
Put This Game On NBA TV Hardwood Classic On TV
Bulls Met Sonics Since 1996 NBA Finals
Listen to that away crowd cheer for the goat.
MJ Was the best mid range shooter..It was his bread n butter..best 2 way player..u don't see that from curry.
Theng Yang because he's a great three point shooter.. last time I checked 3 is more than 2 and he shoots it at 45% which prolly a little less than mj at the mid range, he's also the best (I think) percentage wise at finishing at the rim so that makes up for him not shooting mid range shots, he also can't really shoot mid range jump shots with the type of shot form he has which is one motion because he would be over shooting it all the time, which is why he uses floaters more than a jump shot at midrange

OverTime 25/8 Mike ran a 4.3 40 and had a 48 inch vertical. Tell me who today has better athleticism than a prime Mike? And LeBron ain't one of them.
OverTime 25/8
You = a complete loser
Michael Jordan goat legendary 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Never, EVER give Michael Jeffrey Jordan more motivation to rip you a new one!
Payton was able to slow up MJ to just 45 pts !!!
Jay P81 😂😂😂 more like he couldn't stop jordan from getting 45points ..45 points brah
The goat grilled “the glove”
Gary Payton, "MJ's not the hardest player I've ever had to guard."
He probably meant it would have been his hardest at his own level,but since MJ could do whatever he wanted vs his rivals, then MJ was unstoppable that made Gary Payton look like his Student!
Fred S He said John Stockton was the hardest to gaurd because of how crafty he was but Payton knows the deal about Mike!
I agree in the sense that, by this age MJ would give you the same 5-6 moves and you knew it was coming. Stockon didnt have much of a pattern.
Ram Franc no, just like Isaiah Thomas and other Jordan haters, they just want to attack MJ, because he was miles better than him
Jordan el mejor jugador de basketball del mundo🥳🥳
And Payton said the outcome might have been different if he guarded MJ more in the Finals 🤣🤣🤣
1:33 believed to be the longest shot hit by Jordan in the NBA
that's a more difficult angle and farther than the logo threes the players of today brag about. he has one against Utah in '93 from the midcourt line and like this one, his shooting form is still intact.
Payton, who is the best defensive guard becomes Harden Like in defense when guarding MJ
No problems with The Glove
The G.O.A.T ..
🐐
MJ,CAN SCORE AT WILL,AT WILL.
Saludos a quien demonios se le ocurre ese debate. La liga ahora es un dulce dulce. Jordan es de otro mundo lasuper estrella nadie será mejor que el
Gary where’s this defense you said you played against Jordan ? No one can stop the GOAT.
The only scorer today that is reminiscent of MJ is KD. He hits those tough mid range shots where you're like "Damn how the fuck did he make that". And you know when he gets the ball that its going in the basket.
And that's the reason why Michael Jordan laugh in bee documentary there is no way in hell Gary Payton can stop him
Why does it always seem in these old school videos there's ALWAYS a time where Jordan hits Kerr for a 3
I can say KOBE duplicated ALL of JORDAN’S MOVES 😂😂
Hold up,I thought those Lebron fans were right when they told me the “glove “ Gary Payton,defensive player of the year,could 🔒 mj down .mj said,I had a lot of things on my mind. So with a clear mind and the glove getting help from 6’ 10” all-star Shawn Kemp,jordan drop 45points 68% fg .that’s Jordanesq
Wait there's no way Jordan got 45 on a team that had Gary Payton. I thought Gary stopped MJ
Como se va acompañar ĵámes con
Esa bestiaésoeráĺíĝá
Air Jordan 12 Cherry 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeah, MJ was the man.
He PURPOSELY didn’t care about shooting 3’S and why should he when u couldn’t stop his POST..DEADLY MIDRANGE or driving to the basket..POINTS nowadays are so MISLEADING bcuz they Jack so many 3’s😳
Do you have game 1 from the 1985 series against the Bucks and the game where MJ broke his foot?
th-cam.com/video/njFpljzQHEM/w-d-xo.html
He knew he didn’t play well offensively in the finals vs Seattle, so he couldn’t wait to kick their ass this night. Lmao 🔥🔥🔥
He was the MVP in the series win, no need for him to be extra motivated since he was always on 10.
You should be here because the Last Dance 😂
That #23 guy in red played really well this game. Who was he?
Poor C. Ello....
Gary Payton must have slowed Jordan down!! #Lastdance
The motherfuckn GOAT!
check the killer cross over at 5:10
Y’all notice all the jump shots he took in front of George Karl.... lol
👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎
The best offensive & defense player = goat
MJ hit some Curry shit 🐐🐐
Jordan killing Payton
Payback
Gary got cooked this game
Poor Craig Ehlo
Can't stand this stupid screen even though I'm seeing history and greatness
"Kobe is a better shooter than MJ" LeL~
LeBron has a higher FG% and 3PT% than Kobe.
Never ..Kobe copied every move mj had, literally wanted to be jordan.
@FrYLocK41 kobe has better midrnage percent free-throw and from 10-16 kobe is better so yes kobe better shooter lebrick can't even make midrange shots and free-throw consistently
Gary what you talking about you can guard mj, you sure didn't do a good job here.
Mj better than Bron Fadeaway game
i can do all that
And the other guy calls himself the glove for nothing.
you shouldn't replay every make, it kind of throws of the flow of the video. Just a thought.
Devonte Jenkins both of you virgins shut up. Sissy nerds
Wasn't George Karl saying some relatively benign trash before this game, which was a dumbass move because MJ got motivated as usual, for some random reason?

Kobe is nothing like him lmao all this is mid range jumoshots. Kobe had more in his arsenal
@udYi Q great analysis
