    Yeah, you may hate him...Yeah, you probably don't want to see him play again, but he is the greatest basketball player ever...These are all the standard highlights they keep showing of MJ

    I have to go with Utah in 1998, simply because he put a stake in the hearts of Spazz fans everywhere...

    and, no, slam dunk contests don't count!

    My favorite was not included:

    With the Bulls down by a basket in the waining seconds against the Orlando Magic in 1995, Micheal Jordon let's Nick Anderson steal the ball and seal the end of the Bull's season. The Rocket go on to be repeat champions while mopping the floor with the Spurs and then sweep those Bulls-killers.

    This is a tough poll!

    Actually, 2 of my favorite MJ moments were:

    1. In a game against Atlanta, MJ fakes the dribble causing a Hawk defender to fall down, then slashes to the hoop for the dunk.

    2. Playing the Clippers, MJ hit this one-handed, double clutch layup over Brent Barry.

    Love him or hate him, gotta admit, MJ has style!

    He did some move against charlotte that was my favorite. He appeared to soar in multiple directions through the Charlotte defense for a layup. It looked like three moves melted into one. Don't know how he did it.

    One of my favorite Michael highlights was when he dunked on Mutombo, and then turned around and did the little Mutombo finger wag at Mutombo.

    My favorite MJ highlght was back in '87 when he dunked over the entire LA Laker roster from a little inside the free throw line.
    This was when AC Green had the curl, it was hillarious.

    This concludes my one Jordan comment of the year.

    He is no Dominique.

    Thank You.

    That is all.

    I'm 24 and growing up 'Nique and the Glyde were my favorites not that other guy.

    The same way I luv the Oilers and hate the Cowboys and Titans.

    You can't sway a true fan.

    Trade Cato.

    Quickly.

    That should just about do it.

    I chose other because mine was the one when he anounced his retirement.

    I never saw this highlight on anything but a documentary, it was the one where he dunked over stockton and a utah fan said"why don't you pick on someone your on size!" Jordan took it into account a play soon after and dunked over Malone! He then looked over at the fan and shrugged when he said" Is that big enough for you.":p
