Boxscore: www.basketball-reference.com/b...
-----
MJ 25pts, 13reb, 7ast, 2stl
PP 36pts, 9reb, 6ast , 2stl, 1blk

Okay it was actually Walker guarding MJ most of the time, but there were plays that they guard each other in late regulation, like MJ's game tying shot (7:19) and MJ defending Pierce (8:12) in the last seconds.
This was also MJ's last game in Boston, he was just enjoying the last moment before his final exit.

he was playing even better than young players he was fast. smart and athletic that's incredible cause his age of 40 years old
Captain obvious
Bron way better😭
@@7odizzle78LaFlop!
40 Years Old??! 47 Minutes?!!! Playing Same pressure of Offense & Defense? Are You Kidding??
averaging 26 ppg before the knee injiry
LeBron could never
Crazy I wonder how bron will look at 40 Lol
@@uziclip9387Facts he spends all his energy on offense
Not only that, by that date his team was alreary eliminated
MJ at 40 just having fun and still dominating
Yo 40 still killing just imagine..... Him in his prime!
@Greg Hubbard Most AMAZING/DOMINATE athlete of All-Time.
If you took away MJ’s athleticism he would still be a great player. In this era
Him and Larry Bird IMO have the Highest basketball IQ's of All-Time.
sparkymike83 - Bird said that about MJ. If he didn't have the leaping ability, he'd still be an incredible player, Bird said.
Ahmad2423 don’t forget about Kobe or Lebron
Any era duh lmao
@@williehodges4859 Lebron's while career is based of his God given body he isn't that refined in techniques
Man paul pierce and antwan waller were one of the deadliest scoring duos of that time...both guys getting around 20ppg and could nail 3s and get rebounds!! Dann! Btw Old Man MJ was so much fun to watch!
antwan ?
Paul wit the moves at 6:11 🔥🔥🔥
can't believe this game's 18 years ago
his first step was still unstoppable even at the age of 40
Crazy right
That pre-overtime block on Pierce was so clean...
all ball
The Encore was great. Jordan individually was ballin on the Wizards
So pretty to watch. I think, just by watching his '03 clips, that he was so healthy and fit by the end of the season. He looks quick and sharp in his short dribles, chaning his pace and playing one on one situations. Classic upload. Thanks!
In a way it's sad because he really was hurt most of his Wizards comeback, but we didn't realize it. He looked the more athletic in his 40 yat old games than he did at 38 and 39.
Yah infected knees while still feeling the after effects of broken ribs and that cut tendon on his shooting finger. His body was already broken down from his Chicago days.
Pierce was soo underrated throughout his career. He played on mostly bad teams throughout his years.
he is one of the great NBA players...
"Boy the old age Michael would've just blown right by him" 😂😂😂 4:22 The crowd: OHHHH 😂😂😂
Jabar and Russell played to 44
@@m42037 yeah they also happen to have still played on some of the great championship teams oh all time, Jordan at 40 virtually had the same level of talent on the Wizard's as he did on the Bulls for the first 3-4 years. I'll grant you a young Rip Hamilton.
@@m42037 Bill Russell? He retired when he was 34.
Great times, didn't really care if the wizards were bad, people just want to see MJ again. You can clearly see the influence MJ had to the new era wings at that time, the footwork, post moves, fadeaway, Paul pierce, tmac, vince carter, it was kobe who really mastered everything he saw from Mike. MJ at 40 still wants to compete against those dudes.
This is the same paul pierce who owned lebron in the playoffs and 40 yr old mj owned pierce this day lol
Jason Terry owned lebron in the finals bro there? happy now?
Maxx White game 7 in 08 he owned lebron lbj had a squad
Maxx White and Paul Pierce out played lebron in game 7 if you watched the 4th quarter, cavs defence got stops that's what most people forget Pierce in the clutch of game 7 and lebron kept up but not good enough and then the semi final exit vs magic and I know ball , lebron couldn't win so he formed a super team not as impressive and it seems
Maxx White - LBJ did not have a dleague team. Do you even know who was on that squad? And Cleveland was near at the top of the playoff rankings.
Well to give Paul Pierce some credit in this game he did have 36 pts. It's just amazing that Jordan threw up 25 pts and 13 rebounds at age 40. Eitherway great game!
Damn, MJ game saving block is just so sick. The level of confidence to smack that shit with full force, knowing that its so easy to commit a foul there. Yet his baskeball instincts prevailed and he blocked it, with no regards. Sorry PP.
Instincts, yeah. But also those giant hands
40 yrs old with 47 minutes. And he isn't look Tired. And this 2020 NBA finals. Jimmy Butler 47 minutes. And he look so Tired. But props for both of them. True warrior.
MJ!! the GOAT! POUL beautiful move!
No one can stop jordan on his midrange jumper
teaching young bloods
MJ foot work is underrated
Only by casuals. He had the best footwork of anyone in basketball history. Never wasted any steps or movement. That's why he was so impossible to stop.
@@manuginobilisbaldspot424 kobe and hakeem are the only ones who can compare
Best footwork I've seen
@@broken78agreed Hakeem beats out mike to me slightly and Kobe is mimicking this wizards Mike look at his footwork his last 2 seasons and look at old Kobe
@@manuginobilisbaldspot424 That's because footwork doesn't matter anymore in the NBA. Keeping your pivot foot doesn't matter, walks don't matter, carries don't matter. If you transported today's players to the 90s when they actually called that stuff there would be whistles every ten seconds.
Amazing how mjs game had simple pump fakes and jab steps that made defenders look ridiculous
Right! No fancy cross overs, step backs and running to the 3 point line
@@GeneSypha agreed
Damn 47 minutes at age 40. Ridiculous
It's called conditioning.
An didn't really seemed to be tired.
Jordan looked ready for a triple OT lol
…and 82 games!!!
The goat vs a future hall of famer. Great game
Complete master
The real Goat MJ
40 years old and still the best player on the court crazy lol
pierce eating jerry LOL while MJ toying with other celtics players
If Paul would have taken that last shot then it’s a game for the C’s
Michael Jordan showed these young cats how to play
My idol mj goat
Pierce was a beast this years , mj the goat 🐐
That game was so evenly matched that it almost is awkward when one side "wins". One more possession and the other side would win
That block though
"MJ would struggle against zone defense..." Yeah, right.
Brave Fart these kids just dont get it lol i can see him avg. 40 for his career in this era
He's 40 in this video but a prime Jordan can do everything and anything in the court
Maybe u were not born yet, when jordan was playing against d badboys piston👈
Zones are easier to beat in today’s 3 point centric league. That’s why teams are less hesitant to do it because spacing is the thing nowadays, Surround Jordan would four shooters and it’s a pick your poison scenario.
@@hydros25 he played against a more physical zone defense anyway but not as pronounced as today's schemes but for others to think that MJ would struggle is preposterous and absurd to say the least. I can't think of any freak 2 guard now to compare but less physically gifted nor bereft of his skillset and mindset thrive in today's no-touch offense-oriented era.. Imagine nobody could touch him like the bad boys now.. Imagine..
40, 82 games, dropping fucking buckets. Wow
@ 8:25 that stupid look on pierce's face making it seem like MJ fouled his ass!! all block son
ADRIAN H jordan didn't but jerry Stackhouse mightve
Pierce was just embarrassed but also in awe of how clean the block was at the same time. He didn't even know how to react hahaha.
lebron's face would have been worse, that primadiva always had that face
@@corkystorkylebron would be wiggling like a maggot as he would slowly lie down on the floor. In other words, he's gonna flop.😂
@@youaintready1006Exactly
Damn MJ that’s nasty, what a player 🐐
mj can score 25 plus lot of rebounds black jesus.mj vs rookie stats vs lbj now his 38pnts vs nuggets...true god of nba
Wow ... 2003 when mj played they played defense. Lbj come in 2003 04 the nba dnt play defense 🤔
No one says that. It was after 2006 when malice the palace happened which is the root cause of all the chaanges the nba made which favorited offense and restricted defense, making it lot weaker asw.
ThePeaceKeeper23 malace at the palace was ‘03
Nah... defense was still a thing up until LeBron went to Miami, and it was all down hill from there.
@@LaidBack-- so it was a thing until he won his first ring?
@@landongest8364 give maybe a yr or two after his first ring, pretty much yes it all start drastically going down hill with the GS era and style of play rapidly taking over. The point of this question was for what if you don't mind me asking??
Michael Jordan goat vs Paul pierce 4/6/2003 18 years 👍👍👍
Esse cara foi incrível , veja essa NBA de hoje ele faria 50 pontos por jogo .
First...great upload
@7:23 now u know where kobe got this move
Yr naj Aniram almost literally got every move from MJ (except that one exceptional behind the back alley oop from 2000-01*)
Kobe probably had a sharingan.😂
A 40 old mj got a piece of everybody
Beast
Michael Jordan is unmatched 🏀💯
Haha nice game!
4:20 like mike
He was still the best, but he didn’t had a good team (y’all use that excuse with your mangy goat). He was still capable of winning.
He got injured... Before the knee injury he lead the wizs to 4th spot in the eastern conf.
01-02 pre injury Jordan average 25 pts per game, and the weak Wizards was in 4th or 5th place. 02-03 Jordan was classic, smart and beautiful to watch, but he was a 40 year old one legged player
Paul pierce playing that trashketball, James harden just following the example.
satatay23 bottom comment😂
The day MJ made The Truth looked like a lie.
Shooting clinic
If the Wizards had drafted Pau Gasol instead of Kwame. And if Barkley had come back... and if they kept Rip... oh, well...
Lol, I never liked the way Paul peirce chewed that gum. I'm not sure he had the right flavor. But either way, MJ took these new comers to school
Kawhi Leonard is similar to THIS version of Mike. Same athleticism, mid range game. Kawhi not as intelligent on the court, not as creative even with Mike being 40. 28yo Mike completely mutilates Kawhi or any of these modern hoopers.
Kwame Brown
40 yr old..doesnt care his stats in bulls
At 2:13 doe
Naw MJ ain’t overplay Pierce , Pierce had about 40 Celtics lost cause Walker was 0-8 like MJ said at the end on this video🤦🏾♂️🤣
Mj already have ah knee injury this time
Jordan pippen rodman number one forevsr
Gotta love Mike out playing overrated Paul Pierce at 40 lol
Wow ... 2003 when mj played they played defense. Lbj come in 2003 04 the nba dnt play defense 🤔
