MICHAEL JORDAN: 58 pts vs New Jersey Nets (1987)

[@ghetto-ceethageneralg.f.m.6804]

The Greatest of all-time no one comes close

[@mraaron81]

The greatest. Enough said

[@HoustonIsImmortal]

Trivia Fact: Michael Jordan's Earth parents, James and Deloris, brought him home as a toddler after discovering his crash-landed space ship alongside an abandoned country road.

[@jroc4ever]

Johnny Red Kerr and Jim Duram were awesome together during the early Jordan years

[@myron_ob7]

58 points on 64% shooting? That's the GOAT right there...

[@petermeyer9982]

Could have 70, 75 maybe 80, just if he wanted to... That was just one of these games. And that´s the difference between him and other players. If he wanted to, he could have done everything. 100 pts in a game? If he wanted to...

[@cumbusta9175]

Immaculate dick riding…

[@ienjoyrice]

those leaning dunks...one of a kind.

[@bones23jones]

excellent video. Loved it. Thanks Balthus. A reminder of how amazing MJ was.

[@JesusBeattie]

26-27 from the free-throw line?! 26-27 from the free-throw line. LeBron, tighten up, man! MJ shot your average the easy way, haha. Plus 65% from the field?! There ain't nobody, not a soul, that can compete with this man. I'd go as far as to say this is better than the 85% game he had in a loss against Barkley, but that was only 52 points! Ain't nobody better.

[@KinnereyB]

Yep, yep, and yep. The man averaged 37.1 in his 3rd season and could have averaged 40+ any of the years in a row he averaged 30+. He could do whatever he wanted whenever he wanted

[@AnHebrewChild]

@@KinnereyB your comment is bang on. And to think, Jordan was better in 1991 than he was in 1987. Hard to fathom, I know. But I say that without hesitation. 1990-93 Jordan was asked to act as a facilitating decoy under Text & Phil's triangle offense (for much of the game anyway). Phil Jackson figured this would keep Jordan to ~25 ppg: that's on record. MJ still dropped 33. 36 ppg in playoffs in that stretch. And when he wanted to turn it on, e.g. the 93 Suns finals, he netted 41.0 ppg... against double teams, easy. I don't think people really realize how GREAT prime Jordan was.

[@rohw0016]

i love that when he pulled these games off he did so in a way that u knew... u just knew, he was gonna do it again and again and again ect......

[@aboverim]

Best KZbin intro ever for the best baller ever.

[@MRsam585]

2:44 the commentator with a killer prediction,

[@elwin38]

The breakaway from 7:17-7:22 was fucking awesome.

[@iTzeXile13]

58 points in 37 minutes wow

[@thechosand1]

You people imagine how good MJ would be now days? With the sports medicine, technology and sissy rules they play with today? lol.

[@philagon]

johnny kerr is always baffled by jordan's virtuosity

[@jermycha]

Wow love the endin just incredible

[@saarepuu]

very nice.thanks!

[@tsikibil]

58 points with no 3pointers ...WTF

[@Silligk]

he didnt care about huge scoring mostly, reason he had to score big was cause his team was sucking.

[@brianhenkel1886]

Goat 🐐

[@Rodzilla97]

actually, this game he could have scored 78-82 pts had he played the full game. he sat 11 mins, if he played all those or even just 9 more, and he wanted 78-82 he'd have had it. he didn't care about padding his stats like a certain douche we know these days

[@vickystokes2803]

That stat line is just crazy!

[@CoreyT127]

Jordan scored all 10 numbers in the 50s atleast once! This is his only 58 point game though.

[@avieus]

MJ is a mutant

[@d25615]

Come on man get 60

[@mraaron81]

@Rodzilla97 You can say that again

[@flykidj95]

i love how the announcers back then actually called the game now they talk about a bunch of b.s.

[@philagon]

could you imagine him in the 50's. dunking on George Mikan. average 60 ppg

[@illVeritas]

@Rodzilla97 *cough* Kobe... *cough*

[@titomoreno]

@actoman1 not

[@iTzeXile13]

@chazeMugz10 yea marc is actually pau's father. he's been playing in the nba since the 80s nahh im jk

[@CoreyT127]

Damn he didnt play almost a full quarter!

[@Rodzilla97]

he could have easily got 60-65 if he stayed in the game the last few minutes

[@philagon]

typo: kobe bryant is the best [shooting guard playing today]

[@simplygu]

Should have left him in to get 2 more points to get to 60.

[@chitownref]

You might want to go back to school so you can learn how to count

[@chazeMugz10]

marc gasol on jersey no.42..lol
