Chicago Bulls vs Sacramento kings
Michael Jordan vs Mitch Richmond
* It's not just a highlight, it's a video of two players matched up during a match.
Mitch was 1 of the players that played mike very well on D and is a very good shooter. They've had great battles over the years.
An apex talent wasted on a crappy organization.
That organization didnt become so crappy when they traded him for Chris Webber. Be quiet smooth brain
Another case of "imagine him with today's rules."
Literally there's no handchecking in this video, it's literally the same exact thing you'll see when there's a duel with great players today
@@jacopopispola9925 Handchecking or no handchecking it’s still too easy for him lol
Yeah zone defense and he'd get doubled every play
@@The_favorite_Uncle A zone defense is guys standing in areas on the court not hard double teams lol. Offensive Players are actually more open in a zone lol
Literally the same way players are guarding other players today. If there were no hand checking or arm guarding then every star player would be averaging 40ppg
Great gem
At this point MJ had lost a step and a half by his last Bull season. The year before he still had more explosiveness on his step. Not surprised he retired for the first time after this season.
Mitch is one of the most under ratted forgotten players in NBA history... yes I said it. Someone can check me on this but twice Mitch led the league in 4th quarter points. Granted MJ and the Bulls had a lot of games warped up by the 3rd.
M.J. admitted that Mitch was a formidable opponent.
I’m surprised MJ didn’t cook more. I think Richmond was really tough, really tough. About 6’4-5” but like bulldog
He was old
He used to play football.
Hence the nickname "The Rock" Mitch was 6'5 prolly 220-225 lbs Strong built like a rock, was very agressive on offense and defense but had one of the smoothest jumpshots.
Jordan went up against smaller players all the time back then. And if they were his height or taller they were robotic and uncoordinated.
@@derekbanks7377 shhh respect the goat
Richmond was an overlooked guy from the 90s. But what else do you expect when he played on the Kings in an era with other shooting guards such as Drexler and Miller? Richmond was a bad dude.
MJ had a tough matchup with a smaller yet stout player on mitch. When he played against kobe that same season, he had to tell scottie pippen to guard bryant well because he was tired. Now imagine if that's LBJ, mj would never guard him and pippen wouldn't be able to do anything either.
No they would’ve put Dennis Rodman on LJ and he would’ve gave him hell. Dennis had the skills to frustrate Shaquille O’Neal so he would’ve had no problem locking up LeBron James!
@keithbennett4004 dennis Rodman, um, probably not, since people like Ron Artest couldn't lock him up.
Are you really comparing Ron Artiest to Dennis Rodman? I like Ron but he couldn’t hold a candle to Dennis especially on the defense end! Dennis was the Two time defensive player of the year. And all team defense 7 times compared to Ron 1 time defensive player of the year and only 4 times all team defensive player of the year. Dennis was arguably the best defensive player in NBA history and he would’ve had no problem shutting down LeBron James. Facts! Respectfully!
@@keithbennett4004 no I'm not Dennis Rodman was 7 time All defense player but Artest was 4 times all defensive and one less defensive player of the year 1 time. Yeah there's a difference but not a significant difference where you can say he is way above Rodman. Plus he was a good offensive player too, unlike rodman how was great rebounder and good defensive player but no offense.
@@joburke10 when you have Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, you don’t have to worry about offense. Yes Ron Artest was a two-dimensional player however, Dennis Rodman was a better defensive player because he was one dimensional, defense, defense, defense! Shutting folks down was his specialty LeBron James would be no different!
I got tired watching this.
I know you see Jordan getting cooked!! Lol
@@derekbanks7377 Ritchmond had a good game but cooked ? lol MJ had 28
Real defense.
Prime example you can’t even lay a finger on Jordan, Mitch Richmond didn’t touch him on a lot of those sequences.
Show me where there was a bad call?
@@Thanosdidtherighthing your blind
LOL 7:40 This is a foul in today's nba 😂
Lot of that would be fouls, pushing MJ with two hands with force before he even get the ball. I miss the old NBA
Mitch gave Mike fits, and wouldn't back down. Great all around player.
Loved the physical defense back then
I watch Mitch and can’t stop seeing Bradley Beal.
That’s tough, I can see it!!!
@@ohyeamoe8430 or D Book
Mitch would be Bradley Beal if he played today but stronger and more agressive down the paint.
I see Dion Waiters
Mitch way better than Bradley Beal.
Mj fans biy i tell you they didnt noticed the time Mitch got the best of Jordans on offense and they double Mitch a lot more in tbe game this clip was made to make Jordan look good
Kid showed alot of Heart against the Goat
Wow did MJ never got a dunk on Richmond?
