Bulls vs. Jazz - 1987 - Jordan 47 pts (The Other Flu Game)

[@hoopsencyclopedia]

Another classic game. Like fine wine, it just gets better to watch the level of athleticism on which MJ played. That sStockton pass stolen in the air cleanly by MJ was great. MJ grabbed clean steal/catches more than anyone because of his passing lane anticipation and superhuman reflexes. Thanks again.

Great job with the vid. MJ was unbelievable in this game on both ends of the court. You and Hoops need to keep up the great work; we all appreciate your efforts. I also enjoy your posts of the game notes and quotes from the newspapers the following day. It's a nice touch!

[@jdmlegent]

For 8 minutes I saw something that I've never seen before. And I will never see again...ever. MJ is out of this world. Untouchable...The Greatest ever.

[@rrTale]

Awesome job starks! I love this game, props for the image quality its amazing. his jumpman dunk is one of my all time favs to. Thx for this!

[@hoopsencyclopedia]

I have MJ's first UNC game ever, his first TV appearance ever, his first NBA rookie game, and his rookie 49 point game. They will all go up!

1) Hot Rod Hundley is the most underrated announcer in basketball. MONEY. Never a homer (6:12, 6:53), always willing to point out bad calls, whether they are for or against the jazz (6:34). Always respects talent. Always gets excited when a big bucket is made, whether it is for the jazz or against. (2:34, 3:39, 4:40, 6:30). 2) It's really fun to see Stockton, Malone, and Jordan all so young. I miss 'em 3) Mark Eaton WAS really as big, white, and slow as I remember.

[@TheSativasmoker]

hey man i like them long detailed descriptions nice work!!

[@craz4]

This is very nice stuff, and indeed much like hoops'. I like your game descriptions. Keep em coming ( so I can look forward to your vids and hoops'.. lol) thanks

Jordan was on fire this game. Almost literally. Dunked on 2 people and shook one to the floor.

[@catsnake7]

jordan not even human. that good!

[@RyoSan23]

WOW!!!! The Dunk on Mel Turpin is GREAT!!

[@jordanlover23]

Great choice of a game to put up. I have it, of course, but it was good to see it again. :P

[@dudeh88]

If that's the only image you've seen of Jordan, you haven't been paying attention for the last 20 years.

[@GS300pusha]

Is this the legend of someone in the stands yelling... @ 3:05 - "Hey, Jordan... Pick on someone your own size" after he spins on dunks on Stockton. @ 3:37 - Next time down the floor he dunked on Mel Turpin. @ 3:43 - MJ looked back and responded "Was he big enough?"

[@AnHebrewChild]

the commentator is right. that was "a HAM-MER" that's the most legit Jordan dunk ever. someone who has the equipment do this youtube video stuff needs to extract the segment from 3:35 to 4:06 and make short, sweet vid of this. maybe throw in 4:38-5:00 as bonus footage it is literally unbelievable how fast Jordan's right hand comes down on the dunk at 3:39 (even in slow mo it looks fast)

[@starks23]

Yes, I have highlights of 3-4 possessions from his first NBA game along with some other rookie highlights. I searched youtube but couldn't find them, so I may upload them. If you want more, you should consult hoopsencyclopedia. He probably has more.

[@CailR]

haha Hot Rod Huntley was always giving moves his own names. In this video he calls Jordan's reverse lay-up an "Alley-oop" and later on a fade-away he calls "the cork screw"

[@rsx2]

Poor Mel Turpin. "Was he big enough?" Not only that, he dunked over Bailey and Eaton also. Check out future Bull Bobby Hansen.

[@airjoca]

Great work starks23, keep it up. ;)

[@ea33]

oh boy, what a game...but we all know at that time it was normal that MJ destroyed his opponents like that.

[@101stparatrooper]

was he big enough? incredible...thats all i have to say

[@awubinski]

3:39 Michael - "Was he big enough?"

[@blackadam06]

Now "THIS" Michael Jordan is the G.O.A.T!! "THIS" is Air Jordan, the one who has "NO" Equal..MJ from '95-'98, was great & better than anyone in the league right now, but "that" MJ doesn't compare to "THIS" one & no one else for that matter..

[@RUREDY2ROK]

Mj is the best player in the game ever.. period... FUCKIN PERIOD!!!!!

[@dudeh88]

I heard somewhere that Hot Rod was influenced by Chick Hearn. ;)

[@troynaval4526]

What's funny is that he had the other flu game 10 years later

[@MisterBinx]

He is head and shoulders above any other NBA greats. He is a super star among super stars. Amazing. The perfect example of what is possible if you work hard enough for it.

[@aboverim]

4:03. TEA BAG!!

[@Mykoveli]

Karl malone always threw elbows and played dirty, thats why Utah was always cursed. No Title for them.

[@AnHebrewChild]

add this dunk onto the video: watch?v=ESCkEoF0xuE keep the original audio (no cheeseball music). Only the music of Jordan's wrist banging on iron I sort of feel like a producer (kinda cool). now I just need a director anybody?

[@TheRatedIX7]

Rookies = Scottie Pippen and Horace Grant

[@crb4059]

no, shaq is now

[@dudeh88]

Yeah, I wouldn't, because I'm not Michael Jordan, am I?

[@JZ2001JC]

WOw outside of MJ the Bulls starting Lineup looks horrible. Oakley was very young so he was no where near his talent of th 90s, Pacson is alright but thats about it. Gilmore, Sellers---LOL.

[@Silligk]

malone picking on the smallest guy on the court as usual...

[@bigdawg4ever]

I know that this is a MJ vid, but OMG..is Mel Turpin the BIGGEST FATTEST NBA player of ALLTIME?
