Michael Jordan 1996: 46pts Vs. Washington Bullets

- There really seemed to be no reason for MJ to come out against the mediocre Bullets with this sort of tenacity. But watching the game closely, it seemed MJ purposely set up his jumpers in order to open up his drives to challenge the 7-7 Muresan for a dunk. Big Men were just the main course during MJ's reign and Muresan just came along a little to late for his own good. There was no doubt that MJ made several attacks with Muresan on his mind but the collapsing Washington defense averted a few embarrassing moments for the Big Guy. But, nevertheless, with 46pts on 52% shooting and the cool victory, MJ still had plenty to be happy with.
This performance was sandwiched inside an 11-game span where MJ averaged 55.1% with a low of 50% and a high of 64.3% while scoring 27-48 points per game for a 36.2ppg average. But then again, considering a career that spanned 1072 games at 50% and 30.1ppg, that's just a normal drop in the bucket. - กีฬา
Wow!!! I was at this game. I was 11 at the time. It was my first live MJ experience. The other two was when he played fro the wizards. Thank you for posting.
I was at this game my first nba game ever. I remember sitting in crowd and the patent leather from Mikes shoes being so damn shiny lol
Word. MJ even early on had a complete offensive game. He just didn't dunk. He did everything, which is why he was unstoppable. Midrange Js, slashing drives, power dunks, fadeaways, post-ups, up and unders, long bombs, moving without the ball, etc. People need to refresh their memories once in a while.
nice job with editing clips, ty for posting! keeep'm coming!
That fist pump by Pippen on Jordans two handed dunk is priceless. That's love.
Another great trip down memory lane. Thanks Hoops. Besides watching the great MJ I also enjoyed some of the clips of the rookie Rasheed Wallace...
4:36 I just love Scottie's reaction to the MJ breakaway. He throws his fist before Michael even took off.. and then after the dunk he's like 'Woooh!!'
MJ, spectacular as always. Also, check out Scottie goin all the way at 1:33 (and Rodman's reaction). Gotta love the Bulls of the 90s.
That fist pump by Pippen at 6:21 on Jordans two handed dunk is priceless. That's love.
I don't care what anyone says, this Bulls team was the best sports team of my lifetime. I understand the arguments about a weaker league, but they dominated so effortlessly. I watched most of their games and here's how they went: Bulls warm into the game, lead by 5-8 at halftime. Mid way through the third quarter, Bulls up by 27, MJ and Pippen icing on the bench.
Rasheed did all that screaming when he dunked to get the crowd behind him, but they went crazier when Jordan dunked, without screaming. #LetYourGameSpeak
3:59... I love crowd goes crazy every time when MJ is going for a poster!
Love the Jordan clips during the second comeback, I don't any athlete has ever done what he did. He rose to the top in the most dominant fashion. Left and then came back to re-establish his dominance. Even during his third comeback he was his still unconquerable self.
0:31 Underrated Joke by Mr. Kerr, LOL! #RIPJohnnyRedKerr
LOL, can't believe this is called a "home crowd" :D
PS: Thanks, hoops....been checking your channel every day... finally!!!
0:52 Michael's tradicional move on Red, gorgeous fadeaways and dunks, specially the breakaway at 4:01.
5:14 well..That speaks for itself.
Love this game
5:12 That was like some Harlem Globetrotter stuff, right there! LMAO!
Rare stuff it truly is, the Bulls went a phenomonal 72 & 10 in that 95 / 96 season (that record might get beaten, but I doubt it).
You can see once Jordan gets in that mindset, there's no stopping him. The bulls were winning constantly, their confidence was sky high, they were unbeatable! knew it, played like it and that's why they went all the way.
Great stuff Hoops, thanks for the upload.
It's amazing how perfectly cleanly he reaches in all the way across Price's body to poke the ball away. You can see it really well at 4:32. Sick timing. Didn't touch Price's arm or body despite going at full speed.
i always remember watching that highlight play at 5:14 where michael jordan is just literally toying with the guy with one hand palming the bball lol
absolutely awesome.
MJ and Pippen could just fly I dont think theyve come back to earth yet hahaha. simply the greatest
nice video man
I remember seeing the Jordan fake on Price @ 5:12 on the Bulls 1995-96 championship video! LOL! It never gets old!
@baldheadkid yeah! that's a very beautiful dunk double side pump and knees bending..awesomely beautiful
That was like his signature dunk in 96! He did it in this game and he had another memorable one where he stripped Sabonis and took it in for the exact same dunk.lol
Michael making a statement with a nice dunk and toying Brent Price...hahaha what a game.
You see thats the difference between Jordan and Kobe. When Jordan did that break away dunk at 4:00, the crowd in Washington stood up and applauded even though Jordan was with the opposing team. Now when Kobe gets the ball and does anything he gets boos. Jordan was beloved by everybody, even on the road. Check out the videos when the bulls are on the road and see what i am talking about. Just something to think about.........Kobe Lovers
The way in which Jordan scored was so effortless it was a pure joy to watch! I don't know about the rest of you but I am sick of hearing Kobe mentioned in the same breath as Michael! Kobe can score....that's it! He doesn't command his team, he doesn't inspire his team, he doesn't even lead his team, Kobe is in it for the Stats. Jordan was in it for the love of the game and the ultimate goal...the Championship! As a result...all the records came along the way aswell.
love it to on the disc
No one... No... ONE could score like Michael and then get back on Defense and play the rock as hard as he could. NO ONE.
GOAT.
I wish they'd showed a damn replay! Kerr showin some secret hangtime...
the only thing that would make this sweeter is if the play-by-play and color were by Steve Buckhantz and Phil Chenier.
The difference wtih MJ is that he is a complete offensive player. He can drive, shoot the jumper, post up, moves without the ball,etc.. He does all those things well. And when I say well, I mean really well. You can't say that about Lebron, Kobe or any other heir Jordan. And I haven't even talked about the defense yet.
@thewolfmanchu Yeah I know. Those three basically revived and saved the NBA in the 80's. It'll be hard for any generation to really compare to the 80's. But thanks for your insight.
that year, the bullets were big on big men.
It just didn't happen because of the interior collapse whenever MJ did drive. I should have put in the attacks MJ did with Muresan's head in mind however.
2:36...steve kerr!!! The greatest move he has ever done!! That had to have made phil proud. Or angry. You cud never tell with that guy...
Gogo MJ with the 11's :)
I think Bullet's coach had run out of ideas. You can clearly see at the beghinning of the game it wasn't Price guarding MJ. And sometimes in numerious occasions, coachs put smaller guard on MJ try to match up MJ with speed and quickness or stronger guy on MJ to match up MJ with strength. For Example, Chris Child was guarding MJ in 1997 Bulls vs NY "the con" game. Or John Starks. Anthony Mason on MJ, Bulls vs Hornet 1998 playoff.
Brent Price guarding Jordan??
What the hell was the Bullet's coach thinking?
You are right. He is not a dribbler. That's why usually MJ does the PG chores when he's on the floor. He is just a shooter(But he does a good job of it).
plenty of people like the NBA now with the trades. it's the new golden age
how can i watch this w/ sound?
This game was played on 1/15/96.
i love ball...basketball is the bewst thing on the planet....but the worst part is i wassn't old enough to understand it or watch it when MJ was playing!!!:(:( i cry myself to sleep cause of it...(Well i still have youtube :) )
Nice one Hoops. I have this game too but with the commentary of the Washington crew. Redd Kerr's is much better.
Jordan-Collector
if you see his rookie season games, mj is just so unbelievably calm and cool. always knows what he is doing. and ++ scoring ability anywhere within the 3pt line. and the pure athleticism, big palm, speed, and court vision, and of course the confidence. it is just more than any of the today superstars.
just like when Boston's crowd was calling Kobe "MVP MVP MVP MVP"
Yes, I think you got 1st. You deserve it!
5:16 is the best!!! omg...
thank you alicia keys
and yea ur right. but kobe's (a semi-distant) 2nd.
LOL!!
Notice at the 3:49 mark, Johnny "Redd" Kerr say: "Down on his ass..uh, seat of his pants.."
LOL!! He caught himself!
What year was MJ at his best? 92 ?
1st comment! Jordan - simply the greatest ever!
lmao @ muresan's picture at the beginning. omg
@DalmX006 :
Yeah man, saw that clip once on CNN-World Sport....Never seen it since then. Wonder why it has never becoma famous. Ok, there's this space-poster from that dunk but it'S never been replayed...
got the date of this, hoops?
then who's 2nd?
WHat? No no no. His shots werent all dunks or around the rim from 84 to 93. He always had a jumper and he actually used it often during that period. He had a fadeaway ever since his rookie year. The idea he was just a dunker in his younger days couldnt be farthest from the truth. Its true that he attacked the rim more during that time but its wrong to say he only dunked or shot near the basket.
call it what u want but don't call it what it ain't. if u call it what it ain't, ima call it what it is.
Guess so, except that they call that foul a million times more today.
@jjl51999 preeeeeaaaaaaaaaaach!!!!!!!!!
At the 1:59 mark you can see Jordan do the patented leg kick and hold on the follow through of his shot. Know who the ONLY other player in history to ever do that is? You guessed it -- rhymes with "show me." That's why it makes me laugh when people act like that dude didn't BLATANTLY rip off MJ's moves/mannerisms.
I think we know what we came for 5:12
I say that Jordan was at his best the he won tittles . 1991-93 ...1996-98
Man the NBA was just way better in the 90's. It's like it was in it's prime and nowadays it just sucks just terrible reffing and so many other objections about it.
Find me the clip. Thanks.
only god can stop that
I can't agree more. I cannot stand when Kobe talks. The man is trying too hard to be like Mike.
Funniest thing I've read in a while... :D
dun forget the 1st triple 91~93
Team player? Dude had 2 assists! According to LeBron fans Jordan is a huge ballhog.
lol @ price
lol Steve trying his best to imitate MJ.
I mean Steve Kerr
Jordan clowned Brent Price
wasn't 4:35 a touch foul. like in the NBA today.
gotta love sheed as charles barkely said if sheed had the mind of a michael jordan or larry bird and he wanted 2 kill u every time he got the ball he could be the best player n bastketball 2day
4:01
Better than Bird's?
LMFAO @ 5:13
There are a lot of misconceptions about MJ's ability to shoot 3's in his early days. He didnt overshoot 3's like KB does that's why his % was poor for his 1st years. He had games where he shot once and stop. If KB took only one 3 per game his % would be pathetic too believe me. U just gotta watch his games to realise that
Oh I'm sorry........did I hit a nerve? Don't tell me I'm going to have to debate with another Kobe Lover
lol not a big deal man. I've seen T-mac do the same thing. Its just an expression, not a blatant copy.
Never.;)
I'm just saying. Kobe won't be as good as MJ but people for some reason seem to think that he never passes or involves his teamates. He and Jordan's assist averages have been pretty much the same over their careers. They are shooting guards. That's what they do. Shoot.
LOL
hahahah
nba . com /games/20070325/HOUNOK/recap.html
25 seconds in
According to Lebron fans? Since when did they become a credible source?
thats dumb!!!
And that's BS about Kobe going for stats. Like Kobe doesn't want to win just as much as everyone else in the league. If he was going for stats he'd be averaging 35ppg right now. People like you are ridiculous. Right now and for the past 3 seasons, Kobe has been the only bright spot on his team. He has not had a supporting cast anywhere near as good as Jordan's Bulls. Remember Jordan in the 80's?
Is that a joke? lol He was sandwiched on the shot and his leg got hit and PUSHED to the side. It's not at all the same thing as Jordan does in this video (and many other games) or Kobe's blatant imitation of it. Try again.
haha think whatever you think but please dont post bullshit like this. 1 on 1 in their prime and kobe wins? i guess you can probably beat mike too by the way you sound like. and how does the defense and athletes are on a different level? but you know you might be half right, it is on a lower level then before.
