Remember when Lebron had a huge game 6 vs the Celtics and the media couldn't stop talking about it? Jordan 1989 Bulls vs Knicks - game1: 34pts 12 asts 10 rebs, game3: 40pts 9 asts 15 rebs, game4: 47pts 6asts 11 rebs, game5: 38pts 10asts 8 rebs, game6: 40pts 10asts 5 rebs IN THIS ONE SERIES!

[@jamalsag7812]

Yes cyber6, a 🐐 doing 🐐 things!

[@113jlewis]

It was against the Knicks.. lol... these guys were not comparable to the Celtics team Bron went against... lol... stop it

[@davidschmidt1793]

@@113jlewis what about the celtics team jordan went against in 86? he averaged 43 ppg in that series.he actually averaged over 40ppg in a playoff series 6 different times.

[@noahob8092]

He did to lebron against Celtics and I never heard of this series I didn’t even know he played knicks till 91. Michael Jordan was a best this series

[@lefty3295]

MJ playing like a video game lol

[@HOTRAILProductions]

I remember seeing Neal on Turner Sports in the late 90's.

[@blackdonaldtrump3869]

There’s just something about Madison square garden

[@75samuel75]

Jordan got double teamed more often in this game than Lebron did in the whole 2018 playoffs. NBA defense right now is joke and an insult to basketball.

[@jonnykilroy9762]

75samuel75 Doug Collins offense made it easy to double team him. They’d pretty much just iso him at the top on the wing or on the block and say “go be great” . Phil/Tex’s triangle made it way harder because he could start anywhere on the court. Dumars and Isiah would admit it years later. The triangle made their rotations were screw up because they didn’t always know when/where to double

[@jonnykilroy9762]

Plus spacing is way different. Most teams are playing 4 on the perimeter 1 inside to space the floor vs the 3 on the perimeter and 1 inside looks teams played back in the day. Less spacing= easier to double team

[@jordanlover23]

Ridiculous off-ball movement from 11:14-11:21. Multiple fakes and cuts against the defenders' vision and momentum, gets the ball and INSTANTLY recognizes the gap in the defense to split what was going to be a trap, gathers and shields the ball from Ewing for the lay-in. Amazing.

[@THETOYOTAable]

jordan avg45ppg in playoff. today he'll ave60ppg.

[@master-kq3nw]

Jordan always play good against knicks in madison

[@catsnake7]

just watch this game and it's obvious, Jordan is EASILY the Best Player Ever! Not EVEN CLOSE!

[@dharmony07]

So true

[@brycejfulton5151]

10:27-1029 Jordan will do almost that same move 9 years from this moment in the garden

[@robbyb26]

WOW! Listen to that electric MSG. John Condon doing public address. It's so awful now.

[@HOTRAILProductions]

Rob Buchwald But they were not playing the "defense" chant yet.

[@TheChannelThatTimeForgot]

80's 90's NBA - doesn't get better than this. Keep 'em coming Balthus!

[@frederiklegoff8843]

YES because of JORDAN, MAGIC and BIRD!👍👍

[@raheemhannah9444]

That reverse 10:40

[@demetriusjones9350]

When they had 1989 NBA playoffs. I could hear the NBA on NBC. The NBA on NBC at the time wouldn't be born until 1991 when Jordan won his first NBA championship

[@ricegoat8091]

That's why he is the best player in the NBA Playoffs Ever no one was more clutch than Jordan in my opinion

[@Daveyboy_GolfR]

This ECSF, MJ had his worst playoff gm ever, in GM2 dropping only 15. Then dropped 40+ In Gms 3,4,5 and 6. Averaging 37/8.5/9.5 shooting 54% 🐐

[@mrjooxmanallah]

Cotton Club of Phoenix??????

[@eagletrippin]

Balthus = G.P.O.A.T. (Great Poster of All-Time) Thank you for your large contributions in preserving the greatness of MJ through your videos. The 4 hr 45 min tribute is the Greatest video ever posted on KZbin...

[@marzilyas]

gotta admire how jordan doesn't go and shake hands with the knicks after the game...keep that shit backstage

[@chrismcglynn2162]

8:02 Jordan with the dismissal of the defense.

[@worldlfree]

I love him in ‘89….

[@0sumgamezzz435]

A big reason Jordan gets the nod over LeBron, that gets very little attention. Free throw shooting in crunch time.

[@briandziengel6211]

He really was super human. But the media needs to have something better than him, even though Lebron is great. Mike was just different in the way he raised his game come playoff time.

[@barackillbombya3835]

When did the Knicks begin using the organ for the defense chant?

[@meep9752]

1989. That was current organist Ray Castoldi’s first year

[@lungfaiyim5159]

05:15 Jordan CAN !! But Kobe CAN'T !!

[@mnbvsaint3194]

Just 34 pts 12 reb and 10 asist and it’s not a big deal for the greatest

[@theophiluschimpdenearwicke9385]

8:01 Jordan splits the double team (here comes another defender) so he double clutches and shoots on the way down. Easy peasy...

[@blackdynamite3018]

🐐

[@mikedamz]

Thanks!

[@jamesstarr9453]

can you make it viewable on mobile?

[@det916]

Glad to see you back, Balthus.

[@bloody_outlaw8000]

11:14 fantastic quickness !!

[@BuellerTELEVISION]

Fluent

[@jamalsag7812]

The fact that MJ was singing Giving you the best that I got, while hanging 50 on 'em is insane, hilarious, and SAVAGE AF! THE MUTHAFUKIN GOAT!!!

[@TruthHasSpoken]

These games were SOOOO much fun to watch. Unless you were a Knicks fan but even then, consolation that you got beat by the best ever.

[@nihatkayar3170]

shareeee

[@MrgoodLooking1000]

Homosexual music man.. Not even the right feel for a Jordan game.

[@feeltheheat7384]

They played that because they asked what was MJ listening to in the pre games for G5 vs Cavs in R1. he said Anita Baker, so they played it in the very next game Bulls played. sorry for the year old response. Imagine this system replying to an old message 1000 years old lol. only to be answered back by nothing or an descendant.

[@demetriusjones9350]

How is Anita baker giving you the best that I got homosexual You just don't know music. You a heavymetal sob.

[@ronm3945]

Jordan was something to behold
