man i miss jordan. never have i looked so forward to a game then hoping a bulls game would air so i could watch. this generation doesnt do it for me, totally different game play
@@Patawon If you believe players in that era could get in the refs face like that then your just another guy that gets his info from stories told by ex players
MOOKIE!!!!! I totally forgot about him. I'm a Jordan/Bulls guy, but I liked Blaylock. Very underrated player. I mean he wasn't an Isaiah, Magic or Stockton level PG, but he was solid. Jordan was from another planet.
Steve was better even if Points were higher and that from Jordan to me he was way better especially personality. Jordan i liked but he had total anger attitudes not just thebumps by Steve Steve wass o far rated and just because Jordan was rated the best other greats cards went down in value due to it but it angers me thereKemp for sure was a legend of legendsa nd dunks but his cards are nothing and my favorite player Richmond was the best and his cards arent worth anything due to just 1 player Jordan its not like these other guys got no 30 pointsorso on but just JORdan everything was Jordan :(

I Dont change for no one i dont let this PC shit over me. Fk off.
Bonk Caesar - people don't realize how good Smitty was. He was a really big guard with skills and he was tough. I liked this Atlanta team a lot. They were a well constructed team with many good players who have simply been forgotten by many. It was just too tough of a conference and the NBA and they were overshadowed by Indiana, New York and of course Chicago at least during MJ's era.
Back when the best players from each team were guarding each other. Man, I miss those days, so tired of this pussy ass era of basketball. Thank you corona !
NeverGiveUp Your statement is not fully true. Pippen guarded a lot of SG in that era also. Look at the sets the bulls run, guys were not switching in pick n rolls back then so MJ would get wide open shots. The defense in this era is actually better. It took me a while to admit it also, because I grew up watching ball since 82.
This era of basketball feels quiet and not that entertaining compare to the 90s. I don't even watch this era of basketball that much. I just watch MJ videos!
Smith was a very good player. Not hall of fame. Not top 50 players of all time and certainly not the GOAT. Several rungs down from Jordan or Pippen or even Kukic for that matter. More like Harper in his prime.
Celtics should have went after him as soon as Reggie Lewis passed away RIP Reggie Lewis missed always loved and never replaced. Steve Smith would have been the perfect Celtic player idk what happened there!
#23 #8 YES STEVE SMITH WAS ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLAYER'S PERIOD ON THE COURT AND OFF THE COURT HE REPRESENTS OUR CITY OF DETROIT IN ALL THE BEST WAYS THEN HE HAS GIVEN MUCH FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO HIS SCHOOLS BOTH PERSHING AND MICHIGAN STATE😄 GODBLESS PEACE AND LOVE ALWAYS TO YOU AND YOURS MY BROTHERS😄...#NBA..(*8*)
Today's think Jordan went up against unathletic white guys when that isn't the case. Steve Smith is taller than Jordan --6-7. Jordan also took on tough competition too even though it was the era of the center. Jordan faced off against Clyde Drexler, Penny Hardaway, Magic Johnson, Mitch Richmond (Jordan called him the toughest player to guard), Reggie Miller, Joe Dumars.
No shit. I never knew he'd cry like Lebron if someone touched his jersey with their pinky finger. I had respect for Jordan until seeing the end of this game. He's a little cry baby bitch, too! Crazy shit, man.
Smitty has always been an exceptional player. I don’t know that the Hawks ever really had the roster that would compliment his game. Steve could handle the ball yet he was not athletic. Great shooter but still not an exceptional athlete. I think Steve would of been better at the Power Forward position. I know he was only 6’7 / 6’8 but this would of allowed him to stretch the floor. There was not one power forward in the game that could guard him. I’ve watched Steve play at Pershing High School, and Michigan State. I truly believe that he was a great player just not in the right position OR did not have the roster to support his talents.
@@MrMixItup Hey salute for keeping it "Grown Man" you know how the internet can be.... Also I think he was a "Point Forward" before it was popular at the time..
@@vittiriowashington8623 Professional he played the 1,2, and 3. At State he played 1-4 and in high school he played 1-4. I don’t know that he ever played the 4 in Atlanta. I do know that he played for Charlotte late in his career and could have played some 4 there. Again, he was a pure shooter and could handle the ball. Although he wasn’t a pure athlete, he got the dam job done bro.
@@MrMixItup One of my favorites... People forget that Stackhouse played the 4 in college at UNC, but he was a 2-3 in the league.. So I know you know your stuff

I'd give him a tech for complaining someone fouled him when their pinky finger grazed the back of his jersey. I guess all NBA players are pussies and bitches.
@@darrel7589 I gotta disagree. Can't see a foul at all. Not being a troll.....just being a baller that wouldn't be affected by that touch with my jumper.
Jordan don't look like the goat in this game I'm sorry he got blocked air balls couldn't hold defense his perimeter defense is trash unless he's stealing the ball
I'm a Jordan fan, even got his Fleer Rookie cards but Jordan was a bit of a Prima Donna himself. Jordan has done more than that to a player that was trying to get their shot off. It's a matter of intimidating the ref and that's all. New refs got their hearts taken by top league players. The players knew who they could bully and they did. Jordan knew that ref didn't have the stones to give him a tech so he got up on him, back then you could give a ref some grief and get away with it. Now the NBA has given the refs power and they use
a slight tap while in the air can most def affect a shot. All it really takes is a slight touch for your balance to get affected, and that wasn't a slight touch. Like you mentioned, it was a 'push' while MJ was in mid air.
yeah, I agree but MJ has had more contact or worse fouls in the past than this one and still made it.. I guess other fouls or pushes, he's seen it coming and this one was more of a surprise from behind..
It does impact your shot drastically when you don't anticipate getting hit. Normally, when the defender is in your front vision or side vision, you're anticipating possible contact and therefore put added umpf into the your shooting motion. But in a case like that there, MJ was maybe 14 ft out and therefore thinking take a soft touch shot so as to not overshoot to begin with. Add the push you don't see from behind to a shot you're already aiming front rim on to make the basket, and that'll definitely throw your shot off.
True but all-star players, especially MJ's caliber can still get by on that when they anticipate the contact. What really impacts the shot here is that fact that it was sneaky from behind whereby MJ couldn't anticipate it. Very difficult to make a shot when you get hit without anticipating the contact. Smith was sneaky. Gotta give em kudos.
Steve Smith never gets much credit.He played in a tough era and was an excellent shooter,scorer and passer.An asset to Miami, Atlanta and Portland.
rosselliswilkinson facts!
Smith and Joe Johnson had a similar game.
Met him numerous times extremely nice dude and very humble down to earth
Right, and the ref should have given Jordan a tech for complaining
AND HE HAD THAT SMITHY MOVE
man i miss jordan. never have i looked so forward to a game then hoping a bulls game would air so i could watch. this generation doesnt do it for me, totally different game play
Damn. Only MJ can get in a refs face like that and not get a T. That was overboard. Steve Smith, slick on D at the end there for sure. Nice.
meg nah... Different era

LOOSEN UP you’d get teed up it nowadays it’s an instant ejection
@@Patawon Even back then and i did watch nba in 90s only Jordan could talk that way to refs
Yeah only him. He was more important than the League itself. He was a bigger brand and more famous around the world.
This Atlanta team was underrated
They always played the Bulls really well.
@@germansantos5733 They really don't . They were probably a top 5 team in the east in the Jordan era.
MOOKIE!!!!! I totally forgot about him. I'm a Jordan/Bulls guy, but I liked Blaylock. Very underrated player.
I mean he wasn't an Isaiah, Magic or Stockton level PG, but he was solid. Jordan was from another planet.
Yeah I liked Pearl Jam as well, lol...
He was a very good defender. Led the league in steals at one point if I remember correctly.
NBA Jam Mookie Smitty and Mount Mutombo …Blaylock was the man
Steve Smith was a good player, kinda in the same level as Allan Houston and Glen Rice, but no one compared to Jordan
Steve was better even if Points were higher and that from Jordan to me he was way better especially personality.

That Hawks team should be an option to get on NBA 2k that comes out 🙏

That was a sneaky push on MJ by Steve Smith lol!
Missed wide open bunny almost costed the game. The push? Come on it was the physical era.

I even started getting nervous when he was getting in the refs face.
Yo fui a ese partido tuve la oportunidad de ver al más grande en acción michael Jordan 🙏🏻
I'm here because of Ken Norman's joke.
to understand the beast, you watch from 7min02 to 7min22. It says it all.
That referee is like ....you still want that call but your god, give the hawks a chance.
Just imagine if MJ played for twenty years consecutively in the NBA! 🤔🤯😵
Bronsexuals: 90s players where not talented than todays NBA!!!
Steve Smith: oh really???😁
Imagine a young Steve Smith and Trae Young in the backcourt. That is straight cheating my friend.
3 days before Jordan 34th birthday
Well if your talking just a "shooting contest" then Steve Smith would win, but actually making shots in games and playing obviously MJ!!!
As dominant as the Bulls were, they only won by one😱
