dump effort here's michael jordan of the chicago [Music] bulls you can fly can't you well i said to so many people that we're fortunate in our lifetime to have seen of michael jordan rather than be born 30 years from now and only hear about the legacy look at this crowd up on their feet he went right down the middle and artist gilmore slammed it over the top of the video [Music] people think that jordan gets mythologized out of proportion in fact if anything he becomes underrated over time michael jordan is just this ultra bad michael jordan with 43 and the balls have a five point lead [Applause] it's not lonely at all chicago has virtually doubled its attendance there's a whole generation of kids now is going to swear by lebron james because if you're watching lebron james it's hard to imagine that anyone was ever better than that but kids i'm here to tell you there was someone better than that jordan just rocked the cradle for his tenth point and the bucks are going to call time there's a kaboom highlighting nba news the chicago bulls in an unfamiliar spot they're still on top three games into the season they won again tonight what's interesting about last night was the fact that star michael jordan was injured early in the game on a total of 64 games michael defied the recommendations of his team doctors and management came back and led his team to the playoffs air jordan is no longer time jordan the chicago bulls are in the playoffs and there are no restrictions on michael's playing time the only question that remains is is michael jordan really back you think about michael you know scoring 60 in boston garden in the playoff game to me was the first athlete who had great fundamentals most super athletes depend on the fact that they could just jump over you or run by you but he took it technically this is game two of our best of five first round chicago had a 12 point lead in the first half of the game against the celtics it's the jumper but bird played pretty well defensively against jordan there michael jordan has eight points and is the game high school boeing baseline michael jordan 21 points i mean against the celtics and that at that time who had one of the best teams ever one second on the clock so now we'll see how chicago responds to that knock down punch george trying to use his quickness and it works michael jordan with 44 now in the ball game jordan [Applause] cuts the celtic lead to two larry bird said god in a in a bat in shorts waxed us when michael jordan dropped 63. a foul against kevin mchale has been called by penalty with no time showing on the clock he can tie it up here and send the game in overtime no time remaining and this is had people calling him god it moved larry bird to say that's not michael jordan that's god disguised as michael jordan jordan with an all-time record 63 points in a single playoff game jordan was always good enough yeah he scored 63 points in a playoff game i think he played with us i love it you know uh you know everyone's picking us to do somewhat bad and uh you know takes all pressure off this team watch gino get ready to hit it all the way down the corner with michael going maybe yep there it is michael jordan on the breakaway [Applause] 37 for jordan when they started trying to crown him early on he didn't believe in that he felt i didn't belong and i felt like i had to prove myself just like when i was in north carolina i had to join myself with the drive blazing in league's leading scorer michael jordan averaging 37 points a game boom perfect timing guy's the best defensive player in the league he's the best offensive player and he's the best competitor by jordan the ball lose theist gets it theos on the dribble off to the right takes it in jordan nine times first team all defensive nba here's michael by michael jordan [Music] slam dunk championship michael jordan dominique wilkins just you take this for granted now but just the dunking and just him being in the slam dunk contest wearing his shoes everybody wanted those shoes everybody wanted to see the dunk that's like all you cared about dominique versus michael in a dunk contest was like pagler hearns muhammad ali joe frazier from high above the rim but now jordan does have his first taste of pressure in the slam dunk competition michael said oh i got one better i'ma kick my legs out there's a heavyweight fight this is what everybody was building up for i'm predicting a 50 on that be hard not to give 50 on that one steve that was impressive they both got 50s on their first dunks incredible could we call it a make good i mean that's a two-hand windmill with authority now for michael jordan here's the story wilkins finishes with 145. michael jordan needs a 48 to tie a 49 to win and michael is backing all the way to the middle of the back michael he understands the moment he walked down he took his time 48 ties well the crowd let you know what they think of it they [Applause] he gave his championship my lifetime a moment of history i'm looking at what we call the shot we have had three-point drama here in the final minutes of the game in a regular timeout pippin brings it across defended by harper 11 seconds to go in the middle of the floor jordan has it puts up a jumper with six seconds to go this tells it all cleveland has the ball greatest clutch performer in playoffs history has to be michael jordan gets the ball back what i've always said about michael is he never feared the consequences of of missing here's our story here at richfield coliseum one of these teams will advance to the eastern conference semifinals against the new york knicks and i'll tell you an interesting story about about the greatness of michael jordan doug collins began to say he wanted to pass the ball to dave corzine and that's when jordan slammed his fist on the clipboard and said give me the effing ball as the bulls break the huddle jordan whispers to his teammate craig hodges i'm going to make it the bulls have three seconds to try a shot [Applause] sellers has jordan george go home go home to cavs fans nearby we're going to new york baby all right and the song was called by anita baker get the ball michael everybody gets out of the way go to the basket just how famous he was and bird was famous magic was famous michael had a different level of just when he walked in it was like a hurricane just every eye in the building was always on him sounds like you're describing muhammad ali it was like ali michael jordan is a phenomenon all these kids standing taking pictures and like reaching out to touch him it's like i compare it to biblically about people reaching out trying to touch touch christ's garments fortune magazine did some number crunching to calculate how much money jordan has generated in his career show me the money aspect of michael jordan incorporated show me the money his cologne has reportedly raked in 155 million dollars michael jordan was the one who made fans watch and michael jordan was the one who made fans buy no one moves more jerseys than number 23. he's also the world's highest paid athlete he makes more than 30 million dollars a year just doing tv commercials like [Music] [Applause] he was these with killer instinct because you can't learn it you can't create it you can't teach it you can't coach it you're either built that way or you're not [Applause] milwaukee has turned away the fact that he could fly is really magical on television and it brought people who were not basketball fans in just at the sheer majesty and grace oh yes yes yes we had dethroned the celtics we had to throw in the lakers and we thought that we deserved a little bit of respect as a champion who on god's name would stop michael jordan first of all the game was far more physical when michael jordan played knocks him down and michael's up ready to go with deadly what the heck is going on he saw him in the gym he came back a little stronger shoulders were looking bigger in their time right there's no hand checking now you touch them now it's a foul you really had to rip somebody's head off and throw it in the stand before you get a plate of fire just don't want to see that in our basketball game he never complained rick mchorn and those guys kevin mchale those guys beat him to a pulp and he still averaged 30 360 tongue moving [Music] [Applause] would you shake hands with the bulls absolutely back to the locker room their season has concluded while the chicago bulls advance to the nba championship round compliments him but not a perfect team he carries this team rarely do players carry teams to wins much less championships you're not going to avoid the magic michael thing and we got out on them about 12 to 2 and i said i'm gonna i'm gonna really rattle his chain so i went over there tapped him on the shoulder and said hey man if you don't turn in the air jordan we're gonna blow you out today jimmy his eyes got big there's jordan jordan scored the 46 that was the the one loss in the series michael has a streak in him competitively that i've never seen in anyone before i think michael jordan had a perfect body it's long it's lean he could run got a good job everything was perfect [Applause] michael jordan in 1991 came down on us with the right hand tongue out he's switching midair to the left [Applause] and i was just stunning all of us were stunned to see him hang in the air that bulls night won their first ever nba championship incredible they'll never be the moral is you should not talk trash to michael jordan portland and chicago it was almost inevitable for the bulls there are great expectations of a different kind this team has its championship now it seeks its place in history i like this a series that features two of the nba's premier players and michael jordan and wide brexit two superstars the jordan drexler match-up michael never played with a player that would get double team so you had to carry that offensive load for not just a season an entire career and then on the other end be first-team all-defensive player [Music] there's no one gonna ever be like that these super teams nobody will ever have that burden put on them [Applause] something was given to us by the notoriety by the media by the fans that starter and we have to protect it because everybody's coming in trying to get it superstars love this situation this build up to be jordan versus drexler michael jordan said okay come on you're in my [Applause] and building about the comparisons with five wrestlers someone said how about three-point shooting jordan made the point well i have not chosen to shoot three-point shots as if to say what if i wanted to go that route [Applause] well he has chosen to look for the three here in the first quarter to see michael bombing away that's his third three-point attempt jordan made only 27 the entire regular season well michael has gone to a new weapon that's his fourth three-point field goal in the aura of being michael jordan [Applause] for three the greatest competitor the scariest competitor i've ever watched [Applause] considering the relative youth of their nucleus they could be in position to extend towards a dynasty he is not of this world and there was an otherworldly aspect to michael jordan that that he did things that nobody else could do for more than half a century the u.s was so dominant in basketball that its collegiate players were all that was needed to win the goal and here's the frosting for the ussr they win it 82-76 both other countries were using pros playing against 18 19 year old kids that is really unfair loss after loss for u.s basketball of these tournaments and what was once a golden tradition has paled into something less just moments ago the dream team boarded the bus outside their hotel along the roblox i kept thinking that the attention would dissipate they're going to play the first game they're going to win by 60. there's nothing like that ever and even in that with all these guys being tremendous competitors i'd have to say michael was probably the most competitive in that whole earth a six sex guard michael jordan the guy on the bench is taking pictures what may well be the best basketball team ever assembled but mullin reads him so well and watch out so suddenly the lead stretches to 15. prior to the us beating these teams by 60 points they pose at mid court it's a watershed moment in the history of sports not just not just the olympics not just basketball [Music] never before and never again will there be such a team yes look at these numbers uh 31 straight points at one stretch 46-1 run by the united states he gave birth to international stars who had nothing to do with those games in 92. but who took so much from it i had to scout it [Applause] [Applause] bruce alexander you have a delay a game now if you step over i'm gonna have to call it [Applause] rodman will defend on the inbounds pippin will toss in b.j armstrong is on the floor for the bowl the inbounds the cart right to jordan a winner unbelievable what we're talking about here is arguably the greatest player who ever lived really in disputable diversity beat the chicago bulls last night to even up their playoff series one game apiece and somehow the knicks managed to contain michael jordan to just 15 points [Applause] yeah we don't have a choice when you mention the teams jordan went through those knicks especially i mean mason oakley ewing jordan's going to the hole against them [Applause] oh he duplicated what he did on the offensive end on the defensive end [Applause] and then you couple that with all of that athleticism then his confidence skyrocketed [Applause] he talks a lot of trash and he had all everything came together shout out thursday night with a bad throw here's jordan [Applause] whose game is it it's michael jordan's game and it is chicago going on to the nba finals [Applause] [Music] homicidally competitive like really like almost you could say he had a problem he was so competitive his entire life just arrived around beating other people that's how he measured himself that's how he measured everyone he played with why did they call him the black cat because he was smooth [Applause] scott williams gym shoes still top sellers to this day ball head tongue [Music] me personally i've gone through a lot of ups and downs but the camping out this way means a lot to me i hate to make you look ahead but you've talked about retirement in a year or two could you step aside if the streak is still intact no yo my love is strong for this game right now that's how i'm looking at it and i'm gonna be here as long as my love is strong last night we began the show with the disappearance of michael jordan's father right the worst fears have come true james jordan was found dead victim of an apparent burden what is still unclear and will be for some time is what effect this tragedy will have on michael jordan and his future with the chicago bulls in a matter of moments michael jordan is expected to officially announce his retirement a very bitter sweet day there's a certain sadness because the greatest athlete to ever play a team sport is leaving the game i can only imagine what it was like seeing babe ruth because i think this man i used to say was the babe ruth of basketball i've now come to believe that babe ruth was the michael jordan of baseball when michael jordan first retired from the chicago bulls in october of 1993 following his father's murder the sports world was shot four months later jordan dropped another bombshell he decided to pursue a career in baseball and then he goes to play baseball everyone's like wait wait he's gonna play baseball so many hall of famers like this is my chance to get a ship jordan if you gotta retire when you're going to eight straight nba finals one could argue that yeah yeah yeah of course we all believe that 35 seconds away from the knicks defrosting to the 1994 nba world champion the nba tried to plan for his retirement tried to promote other players like the lakers shaquille o'neal but the shoe company reebok recently cancelled shaq's shoe contract what is the nba without michael jordan i think the nba without michael jordan is in deep trouble just being given an opportunity something i can feel very privileged about i mean the white sox gave me an opportunity just to go out there and see what type of skills i have and would you like would you like to see him come back yes i would i think that he would be a good addition michael jordan announced today he's coming back to basketball jordan returns to the nba on nbc at noon eastern yes that was 636 days ago so 21 months after his last appearance in an nba game only five months after his number 23 was raised to the rafters in chicago michael jordan has returned and he's wearing number 45. a lot of special moments in nba basketball usually the opening game of the season the playoffs seventh game of the series the finals i don't know about you but i got the goosebumps for this one this is very special the moment is nearly at hand michael jordan's return to the nba whereas jordan is the undisputed goat like there's i mean really no debate make a wish count [Applause] you know he's the greatest that's ever played greatest we ever played yeah you you go right there no question about it [Applause] [Music] [Applause] he's just a super superstar like you said bill he was a celebrity he wasn't a basketball player he was a celebrity and i'll tell you as a kid growing up you know in high school i can't even describe what that was like at the time we put it on prime time but michael brought it to a whole nother level and took it internationally it's the magical mystical jordan road tour 1995. the bulls are two and two since his return and one of the most asked questions in america most often asked is how is michael doing how is his return [Applause] told me moments ago the knicks still plan to have him go one on one no double teaming he wasn't intimidated before and he's not now and he says he's eager for the challenge moments away from tip off there is john starks he's been a little bit of a slump lately offensively but he does play michael jordan very well early in the game ezekiel 25 17. his brother's keeper and the first quarter points for michael jordan look i know what it must seem like to a younger generation guys it's ridiculous no matter what lebron does if he's not perfect then he's not jordan yeah jordan set a standard of mere perfection and i will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger after you ask is he back where you could make a legitimate argument that collectively a team may have been better than the chicago bull but they didn't have mj and you will know my name is the lord when i lay my vengeance upon 20 years into the future where he has no peer there was no arguments about who the best guy in the league was the chicago bulls were an unstoppable force during the 1995-96 campaign that 95-96 bulls team is the greatest professional sports team i have ever seen in any league at any time and michael jordan's first full season back after giving baseball a try the bulls won an nba record 70 two games in the regular season when they terrorized the playoffs good morning ladies and gentlemen welcome to flight 23. it was a wrap for everyone in the league didn't matter who you were you weren't getting anything when jordan was arrested jordan just looked over and spiked lee and wade bye-bye this one ends appropriately enough in front of new york's most celebrated fan spike lee and through most of the country really is that these nba finals loom not so much as a competition as a coronation you know with 72 wins you know all the consecutive winning games that we've won but by no means do we want to do all that and then be the team to lose to the seattle supersonics in the finals and mrp has come all the way back to best player and mvp status and then he played a 63-win sonics team and beat them in six games no one ever took him seven games in the finals the bulls were able to complete the dream season and win the franchise's fourth nba title after defeating the sonics in game six michael jordan yep once again named finals mvp his fourth mvp trophy in his many tries watch this i'm gonna fly through the air how about that he just puts it in one hand and takes it down career high 67 points and you folks were here to see he was the first guy that would literally fly through the air slamming in dunks where you would see it on the highlight reels on like espn you'd see it on the news and people would just be standing there shaking their head maybe it was an innocent question from michael jordan is it byron or brian russell but it drew russell's fire brian responding is it michael or michelle now on the one hand you got to give brian props for not backing down but on the other yo b that's mike [Applause] there is a big story going around this building right now michael jordan is sick and missed the shoot around he'd walk in the arena suited and booted when you didn't have to come in sooner than booty three-piece suits tie knotted up showed you how to be a professional he is suffering from flu-like symptoms made his way onto the court just moments ago and as you see right here looking a bit shaky [Music] and the 600 million watching around the world ladies and gentlemen [Applause] [Applause] flu yes and the jazz not able to get to their offensive glass oyster tank was great carvalho has got the 3 000. i mean it was the man could hardly walk he could hardly breathe and he elevated himself shortly if you give up the you know so i didn't want to give up you know no matter how sick i was or how tired i was by you know low on energy i was and he's tied the game the things that he does over and over again is like michelangelo repainting the sistine chapel over and over again dear exhaustion ready to fall over he's got his team tied now when they call the timeout how he came out of the ballgame and plopped on the seat and that's what he did he just plopped he won't even take the gatorade he doesn't want to waste any energy no high fives no lifting water to his mouth he is exhausted a heroic performance by michael jordan i mean as long as he plays the game he's he's gonna amaze us no matter what yes they lead 38 points for the king leaning on scotty as they walked off the floor i'm not sure he had full mobility it looks like he's a boxer just hanging on performance by the flu ridden michael jordan a performance that i think will go down as one of the greatest of his career because of the situation it is all over the homes have won the title from the beginning of fans 30 to 86 in his problem here at the united church max from a physicality standpoint he was actually an underdog from the position of getting beat up jordan rules michael jordan with a take-off in the crutch the one time we played the bulls we get off the bus before the game jordan parks insiders ferrari we're getting off the bus a smoking sick before the game for the game he's like who's going to check me michael shakes the finger but he finally got his dump on martha tumble good afternoon everyone and welcome once again to bulls basketball playoff basketball in his heart michael already knew that these would be his last games and and and he just got better and better i mean he was uh i've never seen a guy that i thought was as good as anybody i'd ever seen five years later he was ten times better and five years later he's ten times better game six in utah for the bulls a win would mean a championship for michael it would mean the cementing of his legacy inside they've already begun the chant of beat the bulls jordan for three what you do has to transcend the generations in order to retain your place as the goat here's michael he's got 21. michael jordan always took his game to another level in the playoffs jordan pulls up like we've never seen before and connects 25 for fg six titles six finals mvps that mean it was all about you each series you were the mismatch he's still michael jordan whatever he has lost through fatigue through age through whatever has only brought him somewhat back to the field he still leads the field he became the most dangerous man alive cross-court stockton a three it's there those two three-peats that jordan has those are hard those are hard to compare anything to none of us ever saw what he was going to do and we thought he was going to be great into jordan michael working on russell brings them to within one michael jordan with 45. six nba finals mvps without ever allowing a game seven here comes chicago 17 seconds michael jordan is the greatest basketball player i've ever seen better than lebron better than colby better than ever [Music] have won their sixth nba championship and it's their second 3p without a doubt the greatest basketball player of all time and he still is that's all folks
