His game was perfection. Zero flaws
The fact that Micheal Jordan came back to win 3 more titles in 96 97 and 98 and guided the Bulls to some of the most iconic wins in NBA history makes him beyond legendary. Jordan truly transcended the game of basketball 🏀
Exactly, he was so unbelievable that it's hard to put into words.
I just sat here and yelled at the screen like I did in 95. He's the GOAT. And by far the most smooth player that's ever done it.
FACTS.
That mid range was just lethal!
Very true, no teams at all had any real answers for Jordans play and athleticism.
Thing of beauty too
Over 6ft 3 Starks..yeah
@@xavierb9061starks was a good defender and one of the most athletic perimeter players of the era. Also jordan was hitting mid ranges against all kinds of defenders. So height is not an argument.
@@billagap3213 aak questions if you dont know
His jumper was absolutely lethal!
I watched this game live when I was 15. This is one of the greatest MJ games.
100%😉😉MJ greatest of all time!
Damn I was born next year
Could this be his greatest game ever? I mean obviously not greatest statistically, but still an MSG scoring record. And then add the "comeback", add @ MSG and Knicks and TNT and game winner ...I mean how can this NOT be his greatest?
Same here
@@lefty3295 his greatest game in my opinion was vs the blazers in the finals when he made 6 3s and had 36 at half
That midrange game of his is art
His game is perfect. Not a single flaw in his mechanics.
Yeah, his offensive game and footwork was close to flawless, which is why he was so unstoppable at times. Jordan always needed multiple top defensive players guarding him or talking about how to.
@@billj4525💯
Jordan's jumper is absolute $$$
I kno, it fits him perfectly.
Low post, spin mooves, up and under, shoots, penetrationsr, right hand, left hand... Simply the GOAT 👍👍 Thank you for this video 🙏
I wasn't around in the 70's, don't remember much from early 80's, so my time on Earth with decent memory starts around 1992... At 40 now in 2023 I can say that the mid-90's were the absolute peak of America, on every level music, culture, sports, etc. It stayed pretty great through the early 2ks, went off a cliff early 2010's, and then went straight to hell since 2015. I'm so thankful to have been born in time to enjoy that time frame. I can't imagine being born in 2000's and only knowing this clown world we live in now.
Amazing! The good days when basketball players only took 2 steps
LoL!!! FACTS.
“Starks plays him well” proceeds to torch this dude.
Gotta give it to Starks. He played his ass off on defense. Against damn near anyone else, he would've shut them down. But that's what makes Jordan the GOAT tho.
It was incredible!! Love the atmosphere at this era with space jam!! It was so beautiful 😢😢
yes, it was...like so MANY around at the time. miss this era. to many great players in the NBA back in the 90's. I grew-up a BIG Baseball fan. like the NBA today, I don't watch it. because the talent, league is so watered down. not exciting like years pass.
@@darrellmfume4020 the league is as talented as ever. Its the love of the game that they lack that players in this era had. Imo if the rules were enforced and soft foul calling/sensitive refs were under control the games would be much better because we’d see more will to win games. The rules that are in place aren’t fully enforced. Carrying is at a all time high, it’s crazy.
Mid range 90s > 2023 💯
On the second shot you can hear hear the net say: glad you’re back Mike!!
I remember I was lucky enough to have recorded this on VHS 📼 at the time at my friend's house 🏠.. and only to be watching MJ doing this again like he used to before he retired in 93. . this was a very special moment everyone was witnessing! . I couldn't wait how this bulls season was going to turn out.. 😳
I couldn’t wait to watch this game..loved this time
Mj was just always on a different level like never before seen.
4:12 OMG WE COULDVE LOST JORDAN
When a kid came to middle school rocking that MJ 45 champion jersey, that was the height of pride as a 12 year old.
How could you stop this guy?
Same year got beat by Orlando
@@znbgarage6685 crazy thing is that’s probably because this is the worst version of Jordan
you couldnt.
@@znbgarage6685 and took revenge later!
“How many points would Jordan average today” Mark Jackson “whatever he wants”
I remember this game so well, I was coming up to the end of my sophomore year in high school and lived in Chicagoland. He had just hit the game winner in Atlanta a couple days earlier and all the kids had the 45 jerseys. That was a scary fall on the dunk attempt on Ewing, could've been a torn ACL and lost the rest of the following season for him. As well as he played this game, you could tell he didn't have the lift in his legs he used to. That bank shot by Scottie Pippen was insane. For a regular season game, this was intense. Nothing like the old crowd at MSG.
I remembered also thinking his lift wasn't there when i was a kid, but if you look how high he's elevating on jump shot, this version of MJ is still Air Jordan. He was just rusty imo. Also I think the Bulls really needed a powerforward like Horace Grant. If they would of had Grant or his equivalent (i.e. Rodman) this team wins the championship in 95' despite Jordan's rust.
@@ead838 Remember for the '94-'95 season, they lost Horace Grant, Scott Williams and Bill Cartwright. That was a lot of size, rebounding and defending they lost. Williams played huge minutes for the first 3-peat teams. If Houston didn't trade for Drexler for the stretch run in '95, I don't think they make it out of the west.
He was getting up pretty high by time the playoffs started. Took a few weeks to get that lift.
Yeah, especially when he came back from baseball with the number 45. This was a great game where he scored 55 at the garden, but overall he was very very rusty and wasn't the same player at all coming back from baseball, and they lost to the magic in the playoffs. His speed and everything was down. He wasn't shooting well statistically, and was making defensive mistakes as well as many others. He practiced so so much in the off season that he was back to the old Jordan relatively fast. He wanted to take names next season, and prove he was still the top player by far, which he did. MJ took his bulls to 72-10, which was the best record in nba history, and they actually lost a game or 2 at the end of the season that they should have won for sure. Jordan won the mvp and the finals mvp, and they swept the magic, which was the team that beat them the previous year. What a statement by MIke. I think Jordans vertical and speed went down very slightly when he started lifting weights and gaining a little weight for the 91-92 season, and it very very gradually went down after that, but MJ became a smarter player in other ways and added certain skills and new offensive moves that he became confident with. He still had the same abilities for the most part, but he used them more sparingly from what I saw.
@@ead838 Jordan was way off that year, plus you're right about them not having a great team that season either.
Mike always lit up MSG! They couldn't guard him with triangle offense. UnstoppaBulls!
I was 13 years old watching this game as a huge Knicks fan. MJ was just something special. Literally unstoppable. Felt bad for John at times. Starks & Patrick were my guys but damn his Airness was just too much. The 🐐 broke my heart many times as a kid. Lol
I'll never forget this game either, only his 5th game back from retirement!...I was also 13 years old back in 95 🙂
Starks washed
G O A T
I think the craziest thing about this game was Mike wasn't even fully back yet. Like, yeah, he got into a great groove and he always got pumped for games at MSG, but this was still early into his first comeback and he would have inevitably been shaking off some rust...but you never would have known it that night 😭😭
Yup, I think this was his 5th game back from retirement if I'm not mistaken and man he definitely got up for that game for real..and as you said he wasn't even back to normal form yet
5th game back
He is simply the best
He ankle break John starks on the last play. What an amazing player.
5th game back? Absolutely crazy
not a problem at all, remember he won ATL before the Garden. He was definitely Baaaack
I remember watching this game live. Jordan's mid-range was absolutely ridiculous. And this was only like 70% of the true Jordan. He had just came back after damn near 2 years away, at this point.
*Lets out this into context* - Jordan takes a year and a half off from basketball devoting himself to the game of baseball. Then returns after that year and a half and in only his 5th game back drops *55* pts vs a helluva defender in Starks and a decent team in the Knicks? Lmao this man is the G.O.G …. The Goat Of Goats. Certainly the greatest in basketball history. Great as #23 is in todays game he’s not #23 of old. Period 😤💯💯
Every superstar apparently has their best performance in N Y C @ the M S G !
Some people just born to do WHAT THEY DO WITH EASE
The double nickel 2015 were perfect!!! Thanks JB thanks you Michael !! Great memories great nostalgia. One of my favorite shoes of all time!!!
GD'S BACK!!! Double Nickel FTW
Michael Jordan, legend, facts ❤.
I remember this . He looked so uncoordinated. Rusty. His smoothness was gone. He got back right by that next year
Yeah, he said he literally practiced all day 24 7 in the summer, because that's the kind of effort MJ would put in to things. He wanted to come back take names, and prove to everyone he was the best player in the league by far, as well as keep winning titles. He sure did that. Best record in history with 72-10, and could have even won more game at the end of the season that MJ sat out. He was both the mvp and finals mvp. Not a single person disagreed with MJ being the best player in the NBA by far.
Thanks for coming back like MJ we wated a long time. Great Vid!
55 and the game winning assist is TOUGH🔥in the garden too
The most aesthetically pleasing Athlete of All-time...Best to ever do it Michael Jeffrey Jordan.
Guarding Michael Jordan is like a really Horrible nightmare you can't wake up from
Still the greatest player of ALL time. Jordan reigns supreme.
No he's not
@@lizardking9010 he is and it ain’t close nice try tho
@@lizardking9010 Jordan is was so far and away the GOAT that you can't even troll.
What a time to be alive!
Man was incredible......55 and he wasn't even right yet....
yeah, this was his rusty year where he played much much worse than ever before after coming back from baseball. 45 was like a curse for him, but this game was great at Madison Square Garden.
Scores 55 yet wins the game on the assist to wennington. MJ lived for this kind of stage (msg)
Dude had more game than a Recreation Center.
The GOAT!💯💪🏿
Jordan’s career could of been ended in this game. That’s fall from the foul was SCARY
It's funny how a few months late he lost in the 2nd round but everyone throws it under the rug but praises this game
Yes because this his literally his 5th game back in almost 2 years dude! You can see he is still rusty and doesn’t even have that lift he once had. He trains and gets it Back next season tho!
x3 of course@@JCannon38
So glad your back bro
Artistry. Absolute master. 1 of 1.
@@Boss26621 Wth does LeBron have to do with any of this. This is the most common argument with Bron fans but bron can't even score on Jason terry or JJ barea on the brightest stage. He also only led the league in scoring one time compared to MJ's ten. MJ is in a class of his own
I want to know what brand of shoe Bill Wennington is wearing. Him and Michael combined for 57 points.
You can tell this team had to get more pieces to win. And boy when they did 🔥 No Perdue or BJ the following season
This was a great game by Michael, but overall I don't consider the games MJ played with the number 45 the real MJ. He was unprepared and not the same player. It wasn't until he worked super super hard all summer that he gained all his skills and abilities back, while getting rid of all the rust he had. He was far from ready as number 45, but a year later he showed he was more than ready after taking the bulls to a 72-10 record while easily winning the MVP and finals MVP, and the bulls record should have been even better, but they lost a game or two at the end by 1 or 2 points that they definitely should have won. Jordans skill and preparation for the 95-96 season is almost unbelievable. He was going into that season with a mission and a point to prove, and he sure as hell did that.
Top 5 players ever ,1 .Michael Jordan 2. MJ #3. Air Jordan #4 His Airness #5 Goat Jordan
Amazing performance!
GREATEST midrange assassin 🐐
That’s what makes his game complete. No flaw at every level from 3pt line to finishing at he rim. The midrange is nothing we’ve seen Or probably will see again
"Feels like Beethoven has come back to write his tenth and eleventh symphonies". Those broadcasters had a great night too
Heeeee'ssss Baaaccck! His tongue was out all game! Jordan always brought his best in The Garden!
End of First Half: 1. Jordan with 35 points! 2. Knicks lead by 6… The Greatness of Mike kept the Bulls in contention, the fact that he won CONSISTENTLY is a testament to how SPECIAL his game was.
his best game bar none
Pippen on the assist, im watching jordan drop a double knickle on the knicks, that was 95, couple of us aint live til 96. Freddie Gibbs.
MJ ♾️🐐.
We done with the 90s
I was at this game live we got the tickets because Jordan was retired and they gave us the tickets free but then he came out of retirement and played in this game and they were not getting those tickets back lol best basketball game I ever seen live!
Lebron who????? MJ G.O.A.T💯
The real NBA
Best ever
It was a tuff game.
One part of MJ'S game I always loved is that he put serious elevation into his mid-range jump shot. No one could block it. When you see serious athletes in today's game, they barely get off the floor when they shoot shots... why?
and he fades away too as he's in mid air!
GOD!! WOW~
This happened 28 years ago today.
When scoring points in the NBA was still difficult. Now it has all been devaluated
Jordans moves are simple yet effective. But the simplest moves are far more difficult to master than the fancy dribbles.
Best player.
jordan was diabolical.
Ur back again
this kid is good
He’s like 52...
Look at that defense level John did on MJ
Congrats to LeBron for eclipsing 40k career points tonight, but at their absolute best MJ is the greatest. I was 20 years old in 1990, I watched a lot of 90's NBA, watched a lot of Jordan games. I remember watching this game on TV live as so many of us were ecstatic to see him back...only his 5th game back from retirement and drops 55 in MSG, amazing!
He got the Madison Square rootin for him they hate him in their is jus unbelievable
Michael Jordan drops 55 points in 1995 AD drops 55 points in 2022
Who is AD?
Anthony Davis from the Lakers
@@stevesibaja3123 Sorry dude, I haven't watched NBA games in a while.

@@stevesibaja3123 Knicks have been a garbage team since 2000! They were the top defensive team in the 90s!
55 with only two 3PT's. And people think he wouldn't average 45ppg in today's game lol.
You have to substitute the shots hes taking not add harden and jordan averaged 37 and 36 jordan wasnt taking threes and harden was they were taking the same amount of shots and went to the free throw line the same amount jordan just made one more free throw then harden they both took 27 shots a game no team is letting someone take 30 shots a game and freethrows
@@SeriouslyWhofartedWith the way fouls are called in today's game Jordan would be shooting 20 free-throws per night at least.
@@jmuir Major hyperbole they both averaged 11 free throw attempts a game jordan 37 points per game harden 36 points per game 20 freethrows a night isnt happening embiid lead the league with 11 as well even back then Ive seen players make jokes to jordan if you touch him its a foul like bro he'll be a top scorer in the league like the other top scorers in the league today
@@SeriouslyWhofarted are you saying Harden is as good as MJ? Lol
@@jmuir Not talking legacy talk and talking prime harden years jordan and harden are matching scoring wise harden is a better playmaker but jordan is a better defender pretty much the same rebounder (I'd say harden was doin it more but ill say same dont matter) now it comes down to winning harden was always at the top or near top of the conference so was jordan I dont really rank players i put people in boxes or bubbles with that being said comes down to winning the chip to put him over
🐐
Michael Jordan 55 points vs Knicks Kobe Bryant 61 points vs Knicks LeBron James 52 points vs Knicks
What I find so crazy is at 4:15 this mf Jordan says fuck everything and his first thought is to dunk it no fear of Ewing being there …. Thennnn he takes that hard ass fall that’s could’ve been injury breaking but nope gets ups at proceeds to drop 55 …. Crazy bro
Did the coach never think to switch Starks off him? 🤣
All points scored on starks
Washed
MJ played amazing, but look at defender. John Starks was like 6’4, not the best defender. Imagine putting Giannis, Kawhi, Paul George, Jimmy Butler, Iggy on him. That’s how LeBron played against these defenders throughout his career and still dropped 40 on them.
As a kid i didn't like MJ because he was always beating my Knicks but i always knew he wad the GOAT
Yeah, whenever you were rooting against the bulls Jordan would come in and dominate and embarrass your team. It was frustrating at times, and I saw some people just laugh and stop watching the game the way Jordan would just destroy everyone lol. I became a big fan of Jordan and the bulls when I was little kid in the 90s.
Hubie Brown is the GOAT NBA commentator.
Starks probably still get nightmares guarding Jordan
2:28 People in the seats can't believe it.
Steph +Lebron=Jordan
Damn Starks lol 😅
when young fellas say just double team him
Okay I like Jordan but I don't want to keep hearing that the bulls lost to Orlando because he was rusty. This video proves that's not true, the Magic was just the better team.
Jordan wasn’t able to play 4 quarters at a high level because he wasn’t in shape
so how did the same team get swept in the playoffs the very next year😃
@@reeferboy7494 stop it he just scored 55 in this video in 4 quarters.
@@marlonharry6581 yes that was the next year when they got Rodman at the power forward position and traded BJ Armstrong, and put Ron Harper at the point.
@@rooseveltdarbey9493 did u not see what I said he would score most his points in 1 half but couldn’t do it a full 2 halves because he wasn’t in basketball shape
man John Starks couldn't do shit with Mike
