This was MJ's first truly great NBA game. In just his 9th game as a pro, rookie MJ would take over a game due to necessity and dominate with his athleticism and will. While this became MJ's first 40+ pt game (in his career of 217 40+ games), this really should have been a 55pt game because MJ missed a few easy layups and free throws which were uncharacteristic of him. But throughout the game, his knack for the big play and spectacular drama occurred in the most crucial moments. With phenomenal moves, hang-time jumpers and an innate ability to create, young MJ took over the league by storm and this was the beginning.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was superb in his first 15 years and he is THE all time scoring leader, no small feat. Isiah Thomas was a high-order HOF at 6'1". Chamberlain...just look at the stats, look at the film. Take a look at film of the other players some time and enjoy the overall excellence.

Glory Okoli Dude, just stop. Eye test alone, throwing out the window all that "stuff",Jordan was quicker, faster and more skilled. I don't know how old you are but I'm old enough to have seen MJ in his prime (I'm 42) and LeBron today, MJ is the superior player, hands down. LeBron maybe be bigger and stronger but so what, Shaq is bigger and stronger than LeBron so I guess, Shaq > LeBron? At the end of the day, the very fact MJ has superior stats to LeBron in almost every category except passing (LeBron is the more willing passer), rebounding (LeBron by position alone SF and PF should have more REBs) and 3 pt shooting (LeBron shoots a lot more threes than MJ) should tell you who is the better player. Essentially, you're trying to make the argument that the player with inferior stats across the board except for three categories is better than the guy with more accomplishments and higher averages in everything else, what the hell, lol. MJ won a Defensive Player of the Year Award, call me when LeBron gets his first...
@gloryokoli2420
@gloryokoli2420 9 жыл бұрын
Mario Gutierrez You say Jordan has superior stats across the board, yet the only stats Jordan has over him are points, free throws and steals. LeBron is ahead or on par with him in everything else. Points: Jordan Rebounds: LeBron Assists: LeBron FG%: Draw FT%: Jordan 3pt%: LeBron Steals: Jordan Blocks:Draw. So in the end it's a draw: 3-3. That's where the eye test comes in. First of all remember steals are unimportant when comparing the best players because ricky rubio and stephen curry are top 10 in the league in steals about every year and they aren't great defensive players. As for 1988, Jordan really shouldn't have won it that year and if you put LeBron in that situation I bet he wins it too. Olajuwon should've won it but he was on a bad team. Michael Cooper could've won it as well but he wasn't too popular with the media. Jordan is the most overrated defensive player ever. When it comes to points, it's simple, Jordan shot more. LeBron had a better true shooting percentage so he was probably a better shooter it's just that he wanted to get his teammates more involved. And all I'm saying is, LeBron hasn't played as much as Jordan so he hasn't accomplished as much as Jordan. So to compare the two you have to look at the eye test and per game stats.

Yeah, MJ just became more finesse since everything else was there from day one. The immediate thing you also see is the innate body control and improvisation. 'Scientific American' had a huge article on MJ's body awareness and how some people are born with it. Almost choreographed really as he matched style to substance.

Yeah, I agree. That's the best part about the '84 - '85 season....everybody was in shock. Even at times, you see MJ suprising himself. By '86, it was already expected and everyone knew he was the best. But watching the crowd, the players, and the announcers reaction in these early videos is cool.

As for his J, Couch Loughery said MJ had it from day 1 but why use a 50% shot when you can dunk at 100% jumping over everyone? Remember, scouts were saying MJ had the touch of West when he came in but all his crazy drives made people forget about it. The only real criticism was that he didn't make his teammates better. But then, he won 6 titles and he squashed the last morsel of nonsense.

My family got cable in the mid 80s and we got WGN in Chicago and TNT in Atlanta so I got to watch as many Bulls & Hawks games as I wanted. I watched a ton, felt very lucky back then, sure miss this era, it was a lot of fun. Jordan would dominate in any era.
