Michael Jordan vs Late 80's Legendary & Lethal Half Court Sharpshooters - GOAT vs Snipers

[@guhsuckyamudda586]

One thing you notice with watching these old games is how much of an exceptional rebounder Jordan was, especially in clutch situations. There's not many players, regardless of position, that I would pick over him to secure me a crucial rebound.

[@sportschannel3637]

Score, playmaking, defense, Jordan did everything.

[@tonysanders1299]

I Remember Watching This Game When I Was A Kid. I Screaming & Hollering At The T.V. Sooo Much!! My Mother Had To Come Running Into The Living-Room Thinking My Siblings Was Fighting. She Saw It Was Michael Air Jordan & The Bulls Was On 📺 She Immediately Join In On The Excitement Lol

[@mikjord]

Before pumpin'up his muscles Jordan's engine was out of this world. He looks like a coyote never getting tired. Incredible stamina by an incredible athlete with a heart of lion.

[@nymphopath9816]

Agreed. I was just saying in another comment... Jordan is always leaping around on D trying to block anyone shooting! He is EVERYWHERE! This is exactly how I play NBA 2K video game, I'm controlling only Jordan, and chasing the ball around, leaping to block anyone that shoots in the post! Watching MJ play, is like watching a video game! SUPERHUMAN ENERGY! (As you said, "@4:07 "Michael Jordan gets blocked in traffic & hustles back on defense to knock the ball loose", whenever someone else gets blocked, they look deflated and discouraged. But MJ looks ferociously angry and out for vengeance! R Reminds me of when Rodman blocked MJ in Detroit, and he came back furiously blocking the SHIT outa Dennis, 3 straight times in row! each block better than the last.

@@nymphopath9816 we need that video

[@kb2602]

another banger by bruce blitz....salute incredible effort by Jordan on both ends of the floor, its a dam shame alex English isnt top 75 smh

[@lonniebaines1720]

NOW THAT'S REAL BASKETBALL. ...... MAN'S GAME

[@isedairi]

Thanks for including so many details from the original transmission! I can't feel the same from watching games nowadays, from the crowds to the players....

[@melvinwaring5003]

This was a FANTASTIC!!!!!! video. My adrenaline was off the hook watching these guys go at it. Those Denver Nuggets were such a great basketball team back then. Tough as nails, and MJ and the bulls hung in there and did not fold. I had so much fun watching this game, and the Refs let these guys go at it all game. Imagine if games were played like this today. I would watch these types of games all day. MJ is just the most amazing athlete I have ever seen, his ups are crazy good. The two blocks in the 4th on Alex English (who is a hell of a player), absolutely incredible. Watching this game made my day, Thanks for putting this together, along with the Timestamps, Great job! WOW! What a Game.😃🔥

[@9211goat]

What an atmosphere! Chicago Stadium was filled with new season ticket holders, there to see the spectacular MJ lead their Bulls to victory!

[@mikjord]

The Denver Nuggets were a very good team. Lafayette "Fat" Lever was a premier shooting guards of late 80's. Not flashy but a very fundamentally sound player. Laffayette Lever was the leading rebound shooting guard in its time in the league and was behind Magic Johnson in triple doubles. On the other hand Alex "poetry in motion" English was a phenomenal small forward (led the league in total points during the 80's,) in the, probably,, greatest decade of small forwards in league's history. Michael Adams, Jay Vincent, Dave Schayes, Rasmussen made a very competitive team.

[@cedric5668]

Alex English was SMOOOTH whether layup or jump shot

[@TheJesseGladSaget]

Love that you always leave the intros in these vids. I honestly had no idea they were already playing MJ's theme by then. I had thought it came around in the 90's. And here's a bit of trivia: Danny Schayes is the son of HOF'er Dolph Schayes, who led the 1950's in total points scored

[@nymphopath9816]

Thanks a trillion man! I love how you include proper game footage of both opponents, this gives us an idea of the competition level, and a feel for the game. More exciting, than other videos that are just one player only. Only wish the quality was better, but I understand VHS era. Great work!

[@nymphopath9816]

Alex English's shot look so awkward! But somewhat effective. LOL

[@nymphopath9816]

Since I'm SPAMING, because excited by the game.... My Dream team lineup starters = MJ, Iverson, Rodman/Barkley, Wilkins, Wilt. [Perimeter defense, interior D, and superior Offense.]

[@donjuanismo]

@20:37 Jordan gives a NO-LOOK low five to a fan, while walking away with his back turned. MJ is a SUPER LEGEND! He is NOT HUMAN! Jordan somehow could see beyond his peripheral vision, to perfectly align his hand to slap that distant fan's outstretched hand. If you watch carefully, that is fucking remarkable! (Back then Jordan was still reachable, but sometime after his fame skyrocketed, and he no longer interacted with fans on court. As far as I know)

[@TheJesseGladSaget]

Epic finish. Another classic example showing MJ's superior gamesense, always knowing when take a game over on EITHER side of the ball. No other perimeter player in history has ever come close to excelling at these aspects of the game like Jumpman 23. That's a fact

[@Dinojong]

But, but, but Jordan only played small players. Who did the Bulls beat 😂😂😂😂 these younger fans have no idea.

[@jasonsmith7334]

Good stuff! Appreciate the quality throw backs

[@mostmost1]

Nuggets were shooting they ass off. Alex English was a beast. He was stealing and blocking shoots also.

[@dionbernard3033]

The defense wasn't no joke back then.

[@leonblack751]

This channel is the Goat for Jordan .

[@dionbernard3033]

Bruce, Nothing but snipers on that team like you said.

[@poligonzo5300]

Nice thanks for all this videos awsome 💪👍🙏

[@damianslick1725]

As a kid watching MJ play live and in real time was nothing short of a gift to me and society as a whole, but man oh man whenever he passed to Dave Corzine I used to FLIP THE EFF OUT!! That em effer missed EVERY GD SHOT he took. I couldn't stand when MJ passed the ball to him lol.... I still have a resentment to this day!! rofl

[@ynmonroe]

LOL. Funnily enough, I didn't remember him. It could be because I didn't get into watching the NBA games until around 86, 87. I remember Cartwright and other Centers, but not Corzine.

[@torbjornripstrand1103]

What a great game🎉🎉🎉

[@leonblack751]

How in the hell Alex English not a HOF.

[@fedelinejoseph7953]

He is

[@leonblack751]

Alex Englishhhhhhhhhhhh

[@UnivegaSuperSport]

Fucking outstanding weekend of uploads.

[@javierhatch2351]

Bruce!

[@sonnywoods6846]

It seems like Horace Grant originally was better than Scottie Pippen. Scottie sucked his Rookie year

[@cedric5668]

If you were the GM of the Bulls, would you have Scottie Pippen or Horace Grant? (1993-1994)

[@Dinojong]

kids today use words like English and have no idea the one of the players who they denigrate as “nothing” is why they use the term.
