Michael Jordan’s Top 60 Career Plays

Get your highlight reels rolling. Number 23's in the house. Oh! He thought he saw all his hang times on. It was a new one. Yes, here comes Mike! Oh, what a play! Michael Jordan at his best. There's very few people on this planet that can do this. He blew the layup. The rebound is off. They get it to Jordan. Here's trouble. Three on three. Jordan in deep. Jordan all the way! Score! He put his right arm out full length. Held it and brought it back as he flew by the basket. Sensational. That's the most frightening thing a defender can see. You be the only guy back on defense and he's coming at you. Very short on that one. Had to run out, catch it, now throws it back to Michael. Caught it with one hand from 15 off the lead. What a shot. A save and a shot by MJ. Four seconds left. They got feet on the plate. Jordan steals. Put it up three-pointer. He made it at the buzzer. Jordan got it back on the inside foul play. Ray smartly and with a gentle push to the mound arc. Here's Stacey King, higher right. Jordan on the move, baseline left. Oh no! Oh no! John, you and I have seen Michael play every game, right? We haven't seen this one yet. 49-44 jazz. Pippen down to Jordan. Look out. Oh my goodness! You talk about a hammer. He was looking down at the basket on that one. Michael Jordan with 22 points. Unbelievable. It was alone. A 13-footer and he misses. Rodman can't tip it in. Rebound O'Neal now. Stolen by Jordan from Hardaway. Picked him. Bluffs one at the line. They leave him open. Oh the Bulls are up. Oh baby! He left jockstraps all over the hardwood down here. But how he read that play to steal the pass, Brent. And then pump-faked the ball as only Michael Jordan can do. Jordan to the hole. Wrapped up by Ostratagon somehow. Some way. He scores. Here's a man 7'2 and 280 trying to wrap you up and somehow you have the strength and the body control to get off a reasonable shot. And Jordan flies in for this rebound. Under four and a half minutes to go. Here's Jordan. Oh yeah! There's the mustard shot by Michael. I thought he was going to pass it at the last moment but there was no one there to pass to. He had to throw it up and it banks in. He'll show that one for years to come. 17-game losing streak at Philadelphia on Wednesday night. Jordan a little acceleration. How did he find Longley in the lane? What a wonderful pass indeed by Michael Jordan to Luke Longley. But the balance couldn't be any better. You got 12 points and everybody in the starting line-up has scored. High game at 89. Wants the ball and gets it. MJ. Oh! Fakes the finger but he finally got his dunk on Mount Batumbo. And he's going to say after the game, well they took a long time but it was worth it. Jordan. They set that up. They brought the defense out high. They brought it wide and opened the whole entire middle. Jordan gets the step on day. A super, super play by Michael. He's got six. Get it in to Anderson. There's the double team.

It's going to be a spectacular night for the Bulls as Jordan has come up with another steal. Puts on a show. High wire acts of Jordan and Pippen. They do it defensively. Michael Jordan with a takeoff in the crush. He hit the free throw and has one more. We said he was on the runway the last time. What a play and he wants a timeout. Very upset. Jordan with the strength, the concentration. Ahmad Rashad earlier this year had spent a day with Michael and gone through his workout training program and said it's really a difficult one.
