This was massive. I was in Europe at the time and it was crazy. You'd rock up to a pick up game where hardly anyone could speak english but they knew what a pick n roll was and knew when to throw the lob. Jordan truly globalized the game. Jordan was a coaches dream for his work ethic alone.

Nobody, absolutely nobody would have played with such a high level as MJ did here. His philosophy on "playing at the highest level every time because you never know who's watching me play for the very first time" is one of many reasons why he's the greatest of all time. He also wanted to prove the Bulls were the real world champions!

I didnt realise this at the time, but this is actually a very important game especially when you consider what is happening in international basketball at the moment. This game is where the bulls proved that they were the true world champions by beating the europeon champions. And of course, MJ dominated showing that he truely is the best in the world - not just the nba

Starks, I have two of these games on tape, this one and another one. I have this game shot from the opposite side of the court, however. In the other game, Jordan grabs a RIDICULOUS rebound over two big men (gets serious air) and then jumps right back up to shoot it and has to hang and adjust like 4 or 5 times in the air to shoot it in with the "and-1". Amazing play.

This shows why he was the greatest. Just a exhibition game in Paris that meant nothing yet he played like it was a regular season game. Oh and someone send this video to kobe. I remember kobe saying that he won't take charges because he don't wanna go to the floor and have back problems. Then he had the nerve to say Jordan never took charges. What?? Maybe kobe was high. Cuz I remember all thru his career Jordan taking charges. And here in a exhibition game in Paris he's taking one
@maxdurk46244 жыл бұрын
ricosauve5 Sure, but Kobe was kinda right. If anything, he should have taken it easier later in his career. He played like 42 minutes a night, took every shot, and was at times the only Laker getting back on defense because he was trying so hard to drag that team to the playoffs that he blew out his knee. He was never the same again.

I have this game on tape as well. Mines is the one they aired on NBC, when the NBA was still broadcasting on their network. The crazy thing about this game, is that Michael was also suffering from having ingrown toenails during the trip, and the doctors had to remove the toe nails on both of his big toes, UGH! And yet he still performed great Thanks for the upload. The music fits perfect!!!

Thanks Jordanlover. I found articles about the infected toe, that's amazing. Also I remembered where I read about the shoe stuff, it was in the book "Playing for Keeps" by David Halberstam.

That was my whole point.I had never seen him take a charge until I watched the 6:28 mark of this clip.Kobe was stating one of the reasons his career lasted so long because he didnt take charges(he said if he did take one it was by accident).and he never saw Mike take one.You're not going to find a regular season or playoff clip where Mike took a charge..

Derrick Brookens Dude. He was on a fucking mission that first year more than ever. Came back from baseball, bounced in the second round, people telling him he wasn't the same guy as the one winning all those championships before he retired? He was desperate to prove his worth and that he was still the best in the league. The stories of him training in the summer of '95 during the filming of Space Jam are insane.

Thank you for the info. I remember him having a minor foot surgery before the start of the 97-98 season. Now that makes sense. Do you also have the semifinal game? I don't but I remember reading in an article (I think ESPN) that French players wrote "23" on their shoes in the semifinal to show their appreciation. Professional players playing for a top European team doing this? If true, that's the ultimate respect.
@maxdurk46244 жыл бұрын
starks23 There was also an incident during a press conference where MJ slipped up and called a French monument by the wrong name and the French didn't care. For a country who jumps at every opportunity to make fun of people from foreign lands they perceive to be less cultured than theirs, this is a great a testimony to MJ's popularity as anything.

I doubt that any Basketball player in the next 100 years could ever be in the same talent level or better, both mentally and physically than Michael Jordan during hes rising, prime and peak years. Not even great players and teams around the world at that stage could match hes abilities. It seems that he dominates the game only with hes presence on the court
