i remember watching this game. i could say this on almost every video on youtube, and that is how the crowd always reacted to mj. even back in 1988 he had the respect of road game crowds and they would literally jump out of their seats and cheer him on. they wanted to see him score 50, and their team win.

I totally agree with u. I never saw any Kobe's fans talked about give and go, it's one tactic to lose double team. But Kobe seldom, or never used it in finals.All he knew was try to drive to basket, if failed, he then passed out or gave a mid range jumper, most of time he couldn't shoot in right time in finals. That's why he failed in finals. he just didn't have enough experience to deal with great team defense.

Kobe's a fine athlete, but Phil Jackson has NEVER stated Kobe's a better athlete than Kobe.I was gonna say, he must be superhuman if he's better than himself.

phil jackson is an idiot. he ripped kobe in a book and then came back to coach him within two years. jackson said in that book that when mitch kupchack told him of kobe's rape allegations, he responded by saying he wasn't surprised.what kind of human being says that? as for

Kobe's a fine athlete, but Phil Jackson has NEVER stated Kobe's a better athlete than Kobe. Had he said that then Kobe fans would've kept using it in their arguments. Phil had a seat on the sidelines when MJ was in his athletic prime(88-89). He's not stupid enough to say something like that. Nobody who has ever watched 87-93 MJ would say that.

Look at 4:05, you can see that in addition to bumping him with the body, Ewing's stiff arm across Jordan's head actually makes contact and snaps Jordan's head back as he turns the corner. Watch MJ's head closely. And then Ewing AGAIN bumps him on the shot. No call.

So what does Jordan do? Give and go basketball -- one of many offensive tactics Kobe was too dumb to try vs. Boston. Instead he kept trying to drive from the top of the arc against a set defense like a stubborn mule. A complete lack of basketball IQ, that.

Watch 2:17-2:25 and see how the entire Knicks team collapses into the lane to defend against the Jordan drive despite TWO defenders already trapping him on the ball. Even when Jordan reverses direction and goes back out to the top of the key area (with two guys still on him until he gives up the ball, mind you), Ewing is camped out in the lane "just in case." Pitino, Nelson, Riley, and others used to zone up Jordan all the time -- they were just good at hiding it.

I understand Michael was just about the quickest player to every play, but 1:16 that nigga just traveled his ass off |
