This is how u score without jacking up 30 3s

[@sunsayidrahsad936]

All while not begging for help

[@bradgreer761]

You’re right, that wizards team reeked of success. Fuck shooting 3s

Jordan isn't playing a game... he's at practice 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lol playing with em

His Airness putting on a scoring clinic at the MCI Center aka The Phone Booth

[@renzopeterson153]

Only dudes who are from or was living in DC know it by the MCI center. I'm old enough to remember Summer Jam 99' at the MCI center and watching Nas perform.

[@thepanther543]

I was unfortunate to see the Jordan era he had the best fade away in the world.

[@BoricuaFlavored]

I'm forever grateful to have watched the goat play live. 6 rings, 6 finals MVP's, 5 mvps, 10x scoring champ, 2x dunk champ, DPOY, 3x steals leader, etc. NOBODY playing in the league right now can match nor surpass those numbers.

[@quesoloco2033]

Lebron coming for that #1 spot 😈

[@BoricuaFlavored]

@@quesoloco2033 He got a loooooong way to go to achieve those specific accomplishments and he ain't getting any younger.

[@quesoloco2033]

@@BoricuaFlavored Your acting like lebrons far from Jordan in terms of his career your boy was washed at this age that shows enough of who’s better at the game 🤡

[@devcon28]

Just the way he's able to move around is amazing. His footwork is great but yet he always finds a way to get extra space

[@bhill005]

That just shows you how deep MJ’s bag was. If the date shown is correct, that means he was 38, shortly approaching 39. Most, of course, aren’t performing like that within that age range. To say he was only a shell of himself is an understatement. Nothing but respect to the GOAT

[@t99155]

Facts people don’t know basketball…dude took like 2 years off and just hopped back and schooled cats…if it wasn’t for that knee injury in 02-03 the Wizards was right there in playoff contention too. Imagine if he had another star with that team tho 🏀🔥

[@benniestephens46]

well said...thank you 🤗

[@DarkNtrigue]

​@@t99155 exactly. Majority of that Wizard team were role players. That's all he needed.

[@J23LA24]

It’s awesome to see players who can score without flopping, traveling, palming the ball, and jacking up 3s. The G.O.A.T

[@IlmaliklI]

must be trolling… bron gets this same 50 while being worlds better of a playmaker 3pt shooter decision maker u name it

[@J23LA24]

[@IlmaliklI]

@@J23LA24 jordan ain’t even in lebron stratosphere u must be old it’s ok ur opinion won’t matter very soon cuz you’ll be gone 💯

[@J23LA24]

@@IlmaliklI I’m in my 30s. Old enough to have seen Jordan’s second three-peat, Kobe’s 5, and LeBron’s 4. And that’s the order I rank them in. You’re very ignorant. LeBron only has 4 rings to Magic and Kobe’s 5 and Jordan’s 6. No excuses about teammates. No analytics and stats. The game was never played for that. Every player has been judged on championships. LeBron came up short so the media had to find a way to anoint him and they chose stats. Jordan accomplished MORE in LESS time. There’s no real discussion.

[@J23LA24]

@@IlmaliklI it’s also always so weird to see LeBron fans be so insecure about their pick that they feel the need to troll on Jordan and Kobe videos. I spend zero time on LeBron forums. Y’all are weird.

[@johnkesel6845]

I would watch the bulls and wizards every game just to see some magic when Jordon played

[@natsix4857]

The greatest all around basketball player ever! The fakes, the moves, the finesse... Damn! And those are part of his 3rd coming / return into the league?

[@AwesomeNinja1027]

Way past his prime and he's still got the moves and scoring 51 points. Man is truly the one and only GOAT.

[@henrymcmiller2527]

Obviously, the game isn’t the same. If a young Michael played today, he would score 60 points a game. The game today doesn’t include a lot of defense like back in the day.

[@Michael0429]

Probably around 40 a game, but probably average around 50 during playoff games...if prime Mike played in today's League

[@smallk6453]

The way the ball hits the the net. GOAT

[@AHMAD-2324]

He was playing like this after taking 3 full season's off...Best to ever do it Michael Jeffrey Jordan.

[@jimmymarthen4007]

Mr. GOAT in action

[@dezsojuhasz2765]

How much did he spend on staying fit for this...oh a couple of good cigars. Lol. How can people even try to compare anyone to him. Nobody will be anywhere near to him. Ever.

[@jaraldhood155]

ABSOLUTELY THE GOAT

[@DATRUTH501]

Man I miss the days when basketball wasn't a flop fest!! Just pure greatness! MJ made it look easy while putting on a scoring clinic...

[@silentactor558]

Mj fadeaway is very smooth

[@kelvingillett5331]

Gone are the days when you see a player in a different uniform and it felt wired nowadays its like nothing to see

[@urieldelavega13]

The Goat

[@pcj8029]

This video shows why Jordan is the BEST. He no longer had the ability to elevate the way he did in the past, but did it with pure skill.

[@ayro0638]

He was "old" and still graceful af

[@mariopantoja8259]

all he had left was that footwork...and it was more than enough

[@FreddieBlaze]

You bugging he still had more than enough left in that period lol!🤡👎

[@paposwingbuggy]

Lebron who!! 😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@banbanchicken2808]

Lebron is still doing great at his age right now, Although he lacks commitment in defense but his offense still good

Yeah, I saw this guy play in person at the MCI center. When you are naturally freaky GOAT 🐐, that basketball freakiness just stays with you! Nothing quite like Michael Jordan's moves and shakes and fade away jumper, even up in age. Best to ever do it. Privileged that I got to see him play in person!

He also did this against the Zone plus handchecking 😎

[@jamillie87]

Mid range and short range is crucial man

[@scottwingate3712]

I hate Mike I'm a knick fan, but he would average 50 in today's game. Also kobe rest in peace wasn't even close to Mike

​@@jasondye9565 He is..
