    NBA needs to create their own streaming service with every classic game available. I'd pay for that for sure
  • @CpastheB.S.
    Jordan in the 45 looking like a timeless legend. No one. I mean no one will ever play with as much heart and finesse. This game was timeless.
  • @currypablo
    90s basketball was the Golden Age of the NBA. Remember watching this game as a 12 year old. CLASSIC!
  • @nykia31
    Jordan was such a smooth, fluid athlete. Hardly any wasted movement or energy. So fundamentally sound.

    I was at this game. My pops had bought the tickets months in advance bc I was still a Bulls fan. We had no clue mj was coming back. One of the most memorable nights of my life. Knicks fans were SICK and I was loving every second of it šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

    Remember this game like yesterday! Biggies ā€œone more chanceā€ was #1 on the charts, oj trial was everywhere, the first Friday movie had just came out, economy was doing decent. I was a freshman in high school. Man, I miss the 90ā€™s!

    Mans really was getting 50 points off mid- range jumpers šŸ”„šŸ”„

    ā€œStarks is the best defender on Jordanā€ MJ: 55 points
  • @mikiseifu989
    Sounds silly but Iā€™m watching this game as if itā€™s live. Every shot is contested, 3-4 nasty fouls, 100% passion, everyone played as if their lives were on the line. MJ, out of words to describe. Wow!
  • @zzzap6013
    First time to watch Michael Jordan play. He is the G.O.A.T. in basketball.
  • @ELPRES1DENTE45
    I want to see every Jordan game ever during this troubling time. Make it happen, NBA.
  • @cfairfax85
    Having flashbacks of being 11 years old sitting in my living room watching this game live. I remember thinking Mj is going to avoid going to the paint and would get hot shooting jump shots all night. What a game. Let's not forget about what Pipp did that night..he was magnificent.
  • @raghavtaneja13
    Man Jordan's like an artist. His jumper is so smooth and nothing feels forced. Damn i never saw a full game of his, only highlights but my goodness he's amazing.
  • @spiffymal4867
    for the first time, i actually sat down and watched a whole 2 hour 90s game like it was a movie.
  • @davidd.7410
    That game was an absolute beauty. Intensity, the will to win at all cost, this is something we rarely watch in today's NBA. Crowd was unreal at the end of the game. 90's basketball at its best.
  • @sonder333
    Iā€™m 26 so I wasnā€™t alive to watch these guys play in their prime, but as an adult who studies the game it isnā€™t until I watch full games like this that I realize how much of a freak of nature Scottie Pippen was.
  • The feeling of nostalgia I get from seeing this footage is overwhelming. It makes me feel like a 12yo kid again, basketball was my life , Jordan is still the man to me. He's the one 'constant' in my life since I was a kid to now in my late 30s. Still my hero
