Michael Jordan 1988: 59pts Vs. Detroit Pistons on CBS

This is the single most important game of the modern basketball era. Also, it kept solidifying the fact that MJ saved his best for the best teams. MJ rarely cared to score big against poor teams unless he had to since it was a chance to get the team to play. In MJ's first 19 games vs. Detroit, he averaged 36ppg including a 61pt spanking the year before (a game I also have edited on youtube.com). After this 59pt game on national TV on Easter Sunday in front of a record crowd at Detroit, the Pistons' coach Daly had enough. He vowed never to let MJ beat them again. Born was the beginning of the most awesome defense ever - "The Jordan Rules". The basics of the defense were to 'funnel MJ to the middle so the big guys could knock him on his butt'. But, the defense was so specific that there was a rule for what to do wherever MJ had the ball. Go here: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.c... "Jordan Rules" went on to revolutionize the game - making defense win championships. The Pistons went on to win two titles and their 'bruiserball' defense on Jordan forced the NBA to invent the flagrant foul. The Knicks and the Heat copied this football style and soon, the league's scoring plummeted. MJ, still scoring 30+ ppg was unaffected with his insane skills but the league itself couldn't score. We saw in the 90s, slow games with teams scoring just 60 points each with no one able to make any shots. After MJ retired, the NBA tinkered with the rules to get scoring back up and today, we are still seeing this tinkering with the shortened half-court clock, the lax hand-checking rules, the illegal step-in defense for centers and so forth. MJ is responsible for all this.I remember this game vividly. Few NBA games were on national TV so the ads building this game's drama were strong. We knew MJ and the Pistons already hated each other. The Pontiac Silverdome had a record crowd. What was MJ going to do? Well, all he did was go 21-27 for 59. But, the real key was that he won the game on two clutch defensive stops - a block and steal on Zeke - to make sure his 59 didn't go to waste. MJ's jumper was laser-like here and I remember actually being upset that he was so 'on' since that would mean he would be driving less. I wanted to see more acrobatic shots. But, that's just being a selfish fan. Enjoy The Master becoming 'The Master'.

The numbers:Year-----Avg hgt----Avg wgt1986-87--6-7.62-----215.46 1996-97--6-7.20-----223.67 2007-08--6-6.98-----221.00Good work steviesmooth. As I said, trollers get blocked.

Good posts Chaos - although I find it pointless to talk to trolling teens posing as 20 years olds.Players are smaller now due to the new open perimeter rules shifting the game towards guards as opposed to centers. I will ask again for people to understand the game and do their research before embarrassing themselves in front of my channel. People with no credibility get blocked on my channel.

Trolling gets blocked on my channel. Mature duscussions only.

And umm, sorry to break this to you moron, but Jordan had his highest career scoring average during the 86-87 season, which is officially the TALLEST in NBA history. He averaged 37ppg in a season where the leading shot blocker in the league AVERAGED over FOUR BLOCKS PER GAME! (Mark Eaton, 7'4") ELEVEN of the top twenty shot blockers that season averaged 2+ blocks a game and SIX of those leading blockers ALL were in the eastern conference!

Really? By 2003 Kobe had won 3 NBA titles. (Thanks largely to Shaq of course) However in his 'prime years' (which should have started a couple of years ago and he's still in them now), Kobe's won exactly ZERO NBA titles. :)
ChaosCat79 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
No..The only thing YOU 'know' is that your argument is bogus and with the facts being presented to you, your resorting to the "bigger, stronger, faster" smoke screen I've seen too many times here.If that was true, why wasn't a 38-40 year old Jordan totally shut down when he played for the Wizards between 2001-2003, playing with the majority of today's 'bigger, faster, stronger' players (bar Lebron)?
ChaosCat79 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
*Laughs* I'm sure Lebron would be FLATTERED by your inadvertent compliment, but here's what would happen if the Michael Jordan shown in this video was playing in today's NBA:Jordan 87-88 season stats:53.%fg%/35ppg/5.5reb/5.9ast/3.2stl/1.6blks/That would equate to in today's NBA, with ZERO handchecking beyond the 3 point line, legal zone D and defensive 3 sec in the key;Jordan 08-09 theoretical season stats:57.3fg%/43.2ppg/6.5reb/7.4ast/3.6stl/1.9blks/

the game now is way hared then it was then, bigger stronger faster and u know it...
ChaosCat79 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
I mean, where was the 81 points when it mattered most for the Lakers, during the NBA Finals?And where was the teamwork during that 81 point game too? Just ONE assist? I thought your 'god' Kobe is meant to be a much better player than Jordan, so that must also mean he's a better team player too huh? :)
ChaosCat79 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
And there you have it Ladies and Gentlemen, a perfect example of a Kobe hugging, zero basketball knowledge, YouTube moron! :)Sure, dropping 81 points was impressive... against the worst side in the East that year who had just come off a winless month... Strange though that the so called domination of Kobe hasn't manifested itself into any NBA titles as the leader of the Lakers.. Or did I just imagine watching Kobe fail to appear for most of last season's NBA Finals? :)
