Michael Jordan 1993: 64 pts Vs. Shaq & Orlando Magic Video

MJ welcomed Shaq's first visit to Chicago with one of his classic statement games. Shaq's fanfare as the next great player meant MJ had to assert his supreme dominance yet again. Having an injured shooting wrist, MJ practiced lefty jumpers before the game. But as usual, an injured MJ was usually a deadlier MJ and he broke 60 points without needing a three because his already unmatchable mid-range game was raised to absurd proportions. Unfortunately for MJ, with the game close and going to OT, Horace Grant committed a crucial turnover in the last minute which made his performance go to waste. But the statement was made.

@mukaikof Do you ...
@mukaikof Do you know basketball?? The 3 second violation rule was put in place more than 30 years before shaq was in the NBA.. In his prime, shaq was one of the most dominant centers that the NBA has ever seen... He was a great post player which is hard to do because there was plenty of good, tall centers that guarded him

ur so right, the ...
ur so right, the high percentage mj shot,. he was so damn consistent, 2:30 mj has 30 points only missing nine? shots., ppl dont even kno nothin yet assume kobe is better b/c he scored 30+ a game but he misses like 20 shots just to score that much lol

when u compare ...
when u compare jordan to cobe lebron or anyone else yust look at the stats guyz.that is the only true comparison we need to make.not championships yust? stats.but i personaly think there will never be another more exiting player to watch than michael jordan

Shaq sucked and was ...
Shaq sucked and was really never a good basketball player, he was just too big and tall and stood under the rim like 100% of the time getting easy shots, sort of like how a tall person can easily dominate little kids on a basketball court, because of shaq' they imposed? the 3 second violation rule in the lane near the free throw!

Pfffffffffffffft ...
Pfffffffffffffft hahahaha. Brilliant points. Me: MJ is the? greatest scorer. You: Wilt Chamberlain. Me: (I proceeded to absolutely demolish that notion) You: Okay. If that's not winning an argument I don't know what is...

Okay??
Okay??

you stat watch too ...
you stat watch too much...and even THERE he averaged less points....AND HE PLAYED IN THE 60'S! ? Modern day basketball is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much more advanced its disgusting. Youtube "Knicks vs Lakers Finals" Wilt, Baylor, West vs Reed, Frazier, Debussare, ect. Educate yourself...

BULL? f**kING s**t! ...
BULL? f**kING s**t! It's painful how stupid you sound. It's impossible to have a debate with somebody THAT stupid...

The guy who scored ...
The guy who scored less points per game and played in an? undeveloped league? Yeah...right. Unlike you I've actually watched full games of Wilt Chamberlain. Hakeem Olajuwon would shut him out. Wilt was ahead of his time...but come on...a better scorer than Michael Jordan? You need to watch more game film...

Wilt Chamberlain??

Jordan didn't take over games??????? Kobe does dirty work???????? Kobe doesn't even play defense...has Kobe ever been defensive player? of the year? Kobe played with a pretty good player by the name of Shaq too, matter fact Kobe played the Pippen role to Shaq, it was Shaq's team..you must not have watched Jordan in his prime..

Jordan is easily ...
Jordan is easily the most clutch player to ever play the game but many of today's players like, Kobe, Lebron, D-Wade, Kevin Durant are better all around athletes and scorers. Part of it? is that the game has sped up and players have had to become much faster, quicker, and agile than in Jordan's day.

Interesting on NBA ...
Interesting on NBA Open Court they were discussing the greatest player of all time. It was between Bird, Magic Johnson and Jordan ... no mention of Kobe ... LeBron ... or even Bill Russel or Chamberlain ... interesting also that people with knowledge of the matter think otherwise than you: watch?v=kmK1R17QpJU&feature=plcp&context=C4c633a2VDvjVQa1PpcFNSGoghozBwC_JTV9BCbvmvNqU_FM02Ccw%3D?

considering? your ...
considering? your age - you would have been too young to see Jordan play in his prime and understand what was going on on the court. watching these youtube reels of players doesn't give you any insight - you can make anyone look as good or as bad as you want with these. You won't see the game evolve you won't see the decision making done to get plays executed you don't get the whole picture. Simple as that.

Kobe tried to ...
Kobe tried to imitate MJ when kobe broke his own risk, after that stupid turnover which he got blocked. Nevertheless Kobe isnt even close to jordan's ability? to consistently dominate, even though he had passed jordan in the all time scoring list.

I've watched both n there primes & Kobe not near as good at anything as MJ except missing shots. He shoots more 3s but not w/any inefficiency. He's not a good rebounder passer or defender & he? turns the ball over more. Hamilton, Prince, Pierce & Ray Allen have all shut Kobe down for an entire finals series w/just 1on1 defense. No doubles no help because they didn't need any to shut down Kobe. He's never made a playoff game winner but he's missed several. Kobe misses way more shots than he makes.

Basketball has ...
Basketball has evolved since the 80s & 90s? Thats a good 1. The best defensive teams & players played in the 80s & 90s. The era now is the weakest its been since the middle 50s guy. I mean the best center n the league isn't even 6'10" & he cant shoot. There's no Hakeems, Robinsons, Kareems, Ewings, McHales, Moses Malones etc... Kobe was shut down by Rip Hamilton 4 games in a row in the NBA finals & Rip weighed 20lbs? less & Kobe was 25 & the best player in the league lol. Toughest era was 86-93

Jordan played in a s**ttier era? bud

Everyone sucks ...
Everyone sucks Jordans dick so much it's unreal... Basketball has? evolved so much since he was in his prime and I can honestly say he would not be as good as he was if he were to play now in his prime... Dont get me wrong he'd still be good, just not as good.
