MICHAEL JORDAN: 50 pts and Game-Winner vs Milwaukee Bucks (1989)

[@Zo_1987]

I get Goosebumps hearing Johnny Red Kerr yellin "YEAHH YEAHH YEAHH 🔥....HE WAS THE BEST ...R.I.P TO HIM

[@ngakane]

Me too man! Everytime...

[@larrymcdowell6998]

Facts!!!!

[@AHMAD-2324]

Damn 27 of his 50pts in the 4th QUARTER. And the game Winner...The greatest athlete Of All-time!

[@cumbusta9175]

Bro said greatest athlete, great dick riding😭 not even close wilt, Deion, bo Jackson, Michael Phelps are all better athletes then Jordan

[@JCpennyze]

And Bulls came into 4th quarter down by 12 - yet he still comes back to win - Arguably the Greatest comeback player in basketball history. He did the same thing in 1993 in a similar game against the Utah Jazz.

[@intmailmc]

I saw this game live. Amazing game, Bulls were down all game and one of the most exciting finishes of any of the Bulls games of the Jordan era.

[@szaret1]

the announcer screaming yeaaahhh yeahhh at that end is priceless

[@rebornatm23]

I love how Michael gave his all every game, he did anything to win.

[@HoustonIsImmortal]

He made the impossible seem normal. What a magnificent champion he was in every aspect of basketball. G.O.A.T.

[@Balthus23]

Michael Jordan is unquestionably the greatest player of all time.

[@panosmj23]

In my mind,MJ would have been the greatest ever even if he hadn't won any titles because his style of play was unique and epitomized in a perfect way what a complete basketball player is!!Simply he had all the moves in one body and he executed them in the most perfect way!

[@christianburk4133]

He played the game perfectly. He also played the game as if he invented it

[@tazbomberman]

unusual to see michael that far away from the line on free throws the numbers at 1:53 are absurd . greatest of all time

[@catsnake7]

Jordan just so explosive.

[@tiagoz3]

Michael Jordan ... the best ever..ever player all time. nobody can't stop him in this game!!

[@christianburk4133]

Nobody can stop him , not can’t my man

[@dannymac6785]

Last Dance documentary is making my all kinds of nostalgic. I had to be reminded just how great this guy was. Undoubtedly the GOAT. And did he ever even hit the rim on a foul shot? From 17 feet, no less.

[@Deezy26925]

Bruuuuh! TWO Bucks on the floor when that shot goes up!

[@dvitoc]

Gotta love Red Kerr...& MJ

[@ChiToNYc]

Damn! Look how far he shoots from the free-throw-line.

[@oneday5572]

7:44 With all the Attention on Micheal, Paxson was WIDE open 😂... Imagine if MJ had passed it to him instead of taking that shot. In terms of percentages it’s a smart pass, but in terms YOU being the best player on your team, the most efficient and clutch scorer on your team and the fans and media came to that arena to see YOU take the final shot, it’s only right that MJ keeps the ball in hands. Even with the entire team closing in on him from every side, he STILL kept the ball. Even though it was a regular season game, he STILL gave the fans a performance they’ll never forget. This is what Lebron fans need to understand. I too understand that you have to make the right basketball play in certain instances, but in situations like this? When your team is down by 1 with 6 seconds left on the clock, this is the stuff legends are made of. Idc how open Paxson is, the ball belongs in MJ’s hands.

[@wanderlust617]

This is beautiful. And this is true. That's why no one can come close to this man. He is just unbelievable.

[@132indo]

Jordan with 3 guys on him was a better bet to score than wide open dudes. thats how good he was

[@ss4gogeta05]

I wish Doug Collins could have won a title with Jordan. He loved Michael so much.

[@kenhernandez8128]

That should have definitely happened.

[@intmailmc]

Bulls knew that Phil Jackson was going to be hired as a head coach somewhere and they felt he was a rising star, and they were right. It's too bad yes but was the right decision.

[@PersianSelection]

Stop saying the greatest basketball player ever....this is the greatest athlete in the history of mankind.

[@nimphalhab8543]

Mj the Goat

[@boogieloo1831]

I love how this video doesn't have the aspect ratio improperly converted - back then, video was shot to fit old TVs and so when converted to today's 16:9 screens, the width of the video is distorted. People think MJ was so skinny in his youth but you can see here that he was always broad shouldered and muscled - just as not as muscled as when he got older. This is the case for everybody back then in terms of how they appear on today's screens - imply skinnier than the actually were - this is partially why kids think everybody was puny bakc then.

[@APOCALYPSE_X-MEN]

Boogie Loo Excellent point! That's one of the greatest observations that I've ever heard.

[@S33P]

Kobe,T-Mac,Vince,D-Wade,K-Mart,J-Kidd,AI etc... everybody to this day has armband on left elbow, because MJ was their favorite. Even Scootie in1995/96 changed and start to wore armband on his left elbow.

[@KarlMalowned32]

I have been wanting to see these highlights for a long time. What an exhilarating ending by MJ.

[@det916]

@thegrudge The idea that Jordan couldn't shoot when he was younger is somewhat of a myth. Sure, he wasn't Bird, but he wasn't Shaq either. The main thing that changed over the years was that he refined his form and looked for his jumper more as his athleticism began to decline, he didn't necessarily become leaps & bounds better at shooting itself.

[@dimedropper1992]

MJ was pretty clever use an armband to take off his sweat

[@skforty]

Ankle-breaking game winner.

[@cooljjjj]

I remember this game. I thought the Bulls were going to lose, silly me.

[@airswade]

What a game! You did it again Bulthus! Thankyou.

[@uncletony6210]

The Bucks: Jack Sikma was an all-star center with a game very similar to Bill Laimbeer's, minus the cheapshots. He played most of his career with Seattle. Terry Cummings was rookie of the year in 19 and 83, which is saying something given he was in the same rookie class as Worthy and Wilkens. Cummings played his first few years with the Clippers (the SAN DIEGO Clippers). bet you didn't know SD ever had a team. Lastly, Paul Pressey (along with Larry Bird) was one of the original "point-forwards."

[@mcgregor23]

great game!

[@eddyshluger9332]

Really miss that.

[@giannirandolph2986]

Jordan=clutch

[@dumisatonyjohnson8145]

7:45-7:56 8:46 Jordan scores a game winning jump shot over over Sikma in the final seconds of the game Chicago Stadium 🏟 Chicago,IL

[@dumisatonyjohnson8145]

7:48 Johnny Kerr YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH

[@uncletony6210]

09:35 "He tries to shoot one from out of bounds"?? no. I'm pretty sure, no.

[@farneyblakeley]

watch Jordan score 63 against the celts in 86, he could shoot from anywhere on the floor. sure he wasn't taking 3s, so what? 3s are gimmick shots anyway

[@christiansoldier77]

JORDAN LEFT THE BUCKS PILED UP ON THE FLOOR WITH HIS JUMPSHOT LOL

[@Daveyboy_RS3]

Jordan was famous for torching the Bucks, the Cavs and the Hawks. 88-89 MJ is the GOAT of GOATs

[@discorock]

come fly with me

[@blackspider1405]

Man, the old stadium... I miss that place. Noise was NOISE!!

[@mikedamz]

@dimedropper1992 most players today like kobe wears it just to imitate MJ's style.

[@kenhernandez8128]

Awesome

[@christianburk4133]

Jordan played the game as if he invented the game of basketball

[@lefty3295]

32 years ago today!

[@jordanreid2619]

People that think Kobe Bryant was better obviously haven’t seen Jordan’s game logs firm the 80s …. Micheal Jordan is the most consistent basketball player to ever play in the nba

[@Amir883]

How many points did he score of his 50 in the second half? Looks like a 39 point second half.

[@SammySmooth]

@S33P If you're right handed you don't want to constrict the muscle or bloodflow to your shooting hand. It's common practice to keep your armband on your offhand

[@mattelmore740]

lmao #23 on the bucks got shook badly. RIP to his ankles

[@dudethebagman]

The picture is distorted. 4/3 aspect ratio shouldn't be stretched out to 16/9.

[@titomoreno]

@szaret1 that johnny "red" kerr rip

[@scroggin92]

7:42 Why didn't the bucks player just let it go out of bounds? Instead he saves it and gives it right back to the Bulls and they have a 5 on four because the Bucks guy is at the other end of the floor.

[@redpillfreedom6692]

Instincts are hard to ignore in the heat of the moment.

[@Robby303]

@ChiToNYc then you should check out nick van excel's free throw, you were probably young when he played.

[@btk03z19]

I remember watching this game on tv when my Bucks choked away the game...smdh

[@danielstack4158]

What the hell was that inbounds play at the end by Sikma? A shot? That was lousy.

[@LifeFirst]

Fred Roberts......

[@ChiToNYc]

@Robby303 Never payed much attention to Van Excel at the FTL but I always liked him personaly because he was 3pt shooting lefty just like myself. Dude had mad swag... more soo than the other little guards like T-Hardaway, R-Strickland, K-Anderson, etc. But the 96 Draft Class (ex: Iverson, Marbury, Nash) changed all of that; they took the small guard position to a whole another level.

[@kenhernandez8128]

Bucks were falling down trying to play defense against Jordan on the game winner.

[@redpillfreedom6692]

Sikma is fortunate he didn't break his leg on the shot contest.

[@only1jamesp]

M a bucks fan . I noticed bucks got a lot slow white guys lol😂and they gave the bills a run for their money lol

[@timmaz24s]

Doug Collins was the better coach.

[@jermycha]

U can shoot from outta bounds?!

[@RayWiIIamJohns0n]

MICHAEL JORDAN IS FUCKING OVERRATED AND HE'LL NEVER BE AS GOOD AS THE GREAT JOEL ANTHONY. JOEL ANTHONY LITERALLY CARRIED THE HEAT TO CHAMPIONSHIPS BY HIMSELF, MICHAEL JORDAN WAS CARRIED BY BILL CARTWRIGHT JOHN PAXSON HORACE GRANT AND SCOTTIE PIPPEN, AND THEN BY RON HARPER ONCE AGAIN SCOTTIE PIPPEN AND TONY KOCOACH. MICHAEL JORDAN=OVERRATED. JOEL ANTHONY=GOAT

[@Onslaught0830]

+RayWiIIamJohns0n u mad bro ? for sure he got carried that aint true at all. ofc he needed help when he didnt had his touch on the day to find his rythmus but he didnt got carried at all. MJ = G.O.A.T. not overrated its a fact, domniated already in the 80s against some best teams in nba history like detroit, boston or cleveland. go away with ur carriage statement

[@vickystokes2803]

I know you have got to be joking!!!

[@Muhammad-ov3xp]

To say that mike was overrated you must not know or watch basketball because everybody knows that's not true. How many players you know that can take over a game with very little help and lead the league in scoring for seven seasons straight you can't because there's no one who comes close to that. Mike was never overrated you don't anything about basketball to even say some bullshit like that because no one ever carried Michael Jordan. Joel Anthony can't come close to anything mike ever did unless he could get wilt chamberlain numbers which will never happen.
