Bulls vs Knicks 1992 - Game 7 - Michael Jordan 42 points

Led by a determined and aggressive Michael Jordan, the Chicago Bulls defeated in the New York Knicks, 110-81, in game seven of the 1992 eastern conference semifinals.
Jordan scored 42 points in 42 minutes played. Scottie Pippen added 17 for Chicago.
The Bulls' win ended what was one of the most physical and memorable playoffs series in NBA history.

[@michaelcrane9467]

The sequence with Michael hitting the shot, gets the steal, loses it and chases McDaniel down and knocking the ball away clean says everything you will ever need to know about Michael Jordan

[@sugarhitman]

+Michael Crane Determination.

[@jayscribe7547]

+Michael Crane I have never seen an athlete play with such talent and determination

[@puredistancegolf]

Well said.

[@j.philiplarson2064]

Something you will NEVER see LeBron wannabe GOAT James do!!!

[@luciousthomas6141]

I was just so blessed to see it live on TV

[@TwoThreeForever]

06:00-06:23 Jordan splits through the double team & scores. Then steals the Knicks inbounds pass, gets stolen himself, sprints back down on defense and strips the ball from McDaniel. The ABSOLUTE best sequence of plays I have EVER seen from Michael Jordan! G.O.A.T.!!!

[@DreDiddy83]

And Ppl Have Nerve To Say Kobe Or LeBron is better than MJ Mannnnnnnnnnn Please Their Couldn't Carry His Jockstrap On His Worst Day

[@3912James]

Can't forget Magic's comments afterwards. :-)

[@johanndiaz8387]

[@QWERTY1233211]

I had that play on DVD and was convinced they probably let him get away with a foul on Xman. I slowmo'd it and enhanced and came to the conclusion that it couldnt have been any cleaner. Ridiculous.

[@jayscribe7547]

Arguably his best sequence, offense to defense

[@futureicon23]

I miss the atmosphere back then, so breathtaking!

[@YoutubeCommentRater]

Me too

[@Wis_Dom]

6:01 That sequence pretty much sums up the heart of Michael Jordan, kids. That's why he will forever be the G.O.A.T! 1: He splits the double team defense with amazing ball handle 2: Drives to the basket, pump fakes in mid air and makes the shot. 3: Steals the inbound pass. 4: Gets pressured and loses the ball. 5: Chases McDaniel all the way down the court and cleanly prevents the shot! UN...FUCKING...BELIEVABLE!!!! Show me a video of Kobe or Lebron doing that sequence........... .............still waiting............................. ........Yeah, I thought so!

[@jacobantonio5848]

no doubt about it. Jordan Is The Greatest Of All Time

[@davidstahl1119]

Michael Jordan broke so many hearts, he broke Patrick Ewing's not only at Georgetown but so many times as a Knick, MJ best ever end of story.

[@acl1218]

Jordan broke everyone's heart that wasn't a Bulls fan. He destroyed my Suns back in '93 when we had Barkley. There just wasn't anybody that could guard Jordan. He'd have 8 rings if he didn't take a break from basketball after his fathers death.

[@hectorlopez1069]

​@@acl1218 rockets still get those rings and beat Jordan if he didn't play baseball those two years.

[@vengkong8344]

GOAT and he only played 11.5 years. People throwing out that Kareem has better numbers and just as many rings and more mvps. No shit Sherlock the man is one of the greatest of all time and he played 21 years in the league, so I'm sure he'll have better stats. Had Jordan not broken his foot in 1985 and retired from 1993-1995 he would have won more championships. Jordan should have more MVP awards, but the voters just didn't want to vote for him every year because he could have won it nearly every year. Don't believe me LOOK IT UP! The man is the greatest basketball player to ever play and to say otherwise is utterly ridiculous.

[@d25615]

If jordan would've retired after that 88 he would have still had a hall of fame career that's how great he was. It's amazing what he accomplished in the first nine or 8 and a half. Then he added 3 more years of winning.

[@jacobandrews3067]

Well said. Too bad every1 doesn't see it that way but ur completely right. There's Michael jordan and then there's every1 else

[@boogieloo1831]

MJ has the best numbers still and better than Kareem or LBJ. Both will beat MJ in terms of longevity stats but those don't mean that much - it's about the per game numbers and MJ is clearly the greatest ever. It's not even close. Once you play 10 seasons or so, that's a career and it's about the quality of play through said career. Nobody thinks Karl Malone is better than MJ but he scored more points as he played so much longer. What is incredible is how efficient MJ truly was as he only played 11.5 actual seasons for the Bulls and he generated all those numbers. What's even more amazing is that MJ's numbers were at their highest in his first 6 seasons which are the best stretch in history in the modern era. But he sacrificed his personal stats at the start of 89 for Phil Jackson and the Triangle which he agreed to for the sake of winning. Imagine if they never brought Phil in and he continued to play without the Triangle? His numbers would be astronomical considering he averaged 37 points in his 3rd season! And finally, he did it when it was much harder to score - if he played today, his numbers would be even higher.

[@JSwanKilowJ]

I have to imagine that Jordan (without injury & retirement) and Wilt (without injury and change in playing style) would be the only two people in the 40000 point club, barring the conditions I listed.

[@ap6160]

Exactly. This is why Kareem is overrated. His numbers are bloated like hell.

[@LuigiLaker]

I remember Mark Jackson proclaiming that there was "going to be a funeral today", as all the Knicks players wore black to Sunday's Game 7..turned out, it was New York's burial.

Bulls in first three peat still my favorite team.

[@kanguessokang9918]

Real physical defense and no FLOPS. Basically NO BLOOD, NO FOUL. That is unheard of in today's NBA. One big reason why Today's top Shooting Guards like Kobe, Lebron, Durant, Wade and others will never equal or top MJ no matter how many rings they win is the fact that all these guys play in the most soft Era of NBA basketball in history.

[@kanguessokang9918]

***** Of course, but most of the "Flagrant" fouls called today were just simple regular fouls then.

[@kanguessokang9918]

***** Are you crazy? Watch the early 90s Bulls vs Knicks playoff rivalry and see the type of fouls committed and hardly anyone was ejected. Today's NBA is a joke. Players get ejected for talking trash or mean mugging other athletes after they dunk on them. Pure trash and soft'

[@kanguessokang9918]

***** Funny, you get a technical foul for "taunting", you get a technical foul for "staring" at your opponent or "mean mugging" your opponent. You get a technical foul for wagging your finger at your opponent after blocking his shot or just simply put, the Mutombo rule. Tim Duncan was once ejected from a game for laughing while sitting on the bench. No hand checking on defense, I could go on for ever, bottom line is the game is soft and weak today. Most former NBA players agree, from Jalen Rose to Shaq and Barkely They all agree. Players flop at every single contact that it is painful to watch, it's painful to watch a freight train like LBJ and others flopping to the ground after being bumped by a player half their size. It's soft, if you don't see it, I have nothing else for you.

[@kanguessokang9918]

***** Ok, clearly you are delusional or just started watching basketball yesterday. Players don't flop that much? LMFAO, all that tech stuff doesn't show how soft the game has gotten? Ok, have it your way, there's clearly no point in conversing with someone who thinks flopping in the NBA today isn't out of control, I am done here.

[@minimalist_monk]

Kanguesso Kang Jordan got tripled teamed hand checked bumped and still scored a ton of points. No way in hell Lebron beats this Knicks team let alone the bulls teams. Lebron is good for his era but would not get a ring in the 90s at all

Kobe don't compare. MJ is instinctive and his body reacts on its own. He is in sync with the game itself. Its amazing. His timing was just on point in ways no player can duplicate. He is the Brucelee of his sport. The top. You'll have other great players. But no one will ever get to the instinctive level and sheer connectivity to the game itself,...like MJ.

[@gabeg2434]

Those were wars and that was when basketball was intense, not today's game where you can't even touch a player or it's a foul.I've seen them all and MJ was the greatest and it's not even close.

[@xBXRxAaron]

MJ got more than his fair share of phantom fouls lol

[@gabeg2434]

xBXRxAaron He also got more than his share of no-calls that definitely were fouls. As much as people want to tarnish his game because no one including Lebron has been able to match him and fans from Detroit and elsewhere are still pained by him, the truth remains the dude was the best. Not the best role model in the world, but certainly the best player and probably the best athlete ever, physically and mentally combined.I still think Lebron has a chance to match him because of his unselfish style, but he needs to keep producing, playing and getting even better results.

[@xBXRxAaron]

MJ definitely earned all his freethrows against the Pistons and Knicks which were some of the most physical and intense basketball ever.

[@gabeg2434]

***** Everyone who knows what was done back then and what is done now knows your statement is false and you are creating the false history. Sports guy should not be your name because you have a false sense of history.

Great match-ups with the Knicks enabled NY to push MJ to 7 games! Born & raised in Chicago, this 91' - 98' Knicks team was my 2nd favorite 90's era team after the Bulls. I can appreciate NY's "blue collar" determination & work ethic! Only Detroit's "Jordan-rules/Bad Boy Piston's" Championship team gave MJ & Co. better competition from '88 to '91. MJ's inability to hit a curve ball in my opinion, was the best thing that ever happened to the city of Chicago!
