11/13/1984 - Michael Jordan scores 45 points in his 9th NBA game in a win

45 pts
10 rebs
3 stls
2 blks
18-27 FG

Look how polished he already was... Elite skill, footwork, and athleticism. Age 21 here

Most impressive player I've ever seen

I smoothed out the footage

The remastering makes it look even more incredible. I have a feeling I've got that game on DVD somewhere.

Just found this. Not sure if it has been shared in this thread.

Crazy HD.... like maybe IMAX film or the '98 camera team film. Also, lots of unique angles and replays.

like this one at the 50 min mark or so

replay of the fall down .... stockton with the wrestling takedown move of harper. hahaha.

Anyways, first time I've seen this footage. Of course, maybe it's the same camera angles as the 98 game... been a while since I've watched the whole game.

regardless, figured people here might enjoy it or archive it. Have a good day.

Maurice Lucas vs Darryl "Chocolate Thunder" Dawkins in the 1977 Finals. I remember watching this on TV. Many believed this turned the series in Portland's favor after being down 0-2.

A fantastic channel for watching classic games: https://www.youtube.com/c/UltimediaBox

Incidentally, the NBA is still missing a great opportunity in not having a service like the WWE Network, with on-demand historical content and documentaries. NBA League Pass is great for watching the current NBA and not having to rely on the national broadcast schedule to see your favourite team, but its historical content is painfully lacking. That would've been something cool to launch to celebrate the league's 75th Anniversary. Until then, at least they're being cool about people uploading highlights and old games, at least before a certain point.

Apparently the NBA couldn't simply show old/classic games now because of image rights, the league needs permission from those retired players or in case of deceased ones the players' estate, similar to how some retired players like Rasheed Wallace and Barkley don't appear in videogames.
That condition for footage must have been inserted by the players union in some CBA negotiation because I can recall seeing lots of classic games on NBA TV in the past, even grainy Bob Cousy footage that could make you think he's White Chocolate Jason Williams with the passes Cousy was dishing out.

The NBA is said to have tons of unseen Wilt footage in their vault, even complete games, but they couldn't show it because the hard part is getting in contact with Wilt's estate to approve the release of newly discovered or restored footage. Even a random fan could contact the NBA media department that handles old footage and they would gladly help such person on the steps required to gain permission but the biggest obstacle is always trying to contact Wilt's relative/s that handle his estate, even if the fan can afford and is willing to pay the estate.

So yeah, you better start saving those favorite NBA games footage while they're still free and available. We never know when those footage will be gone forever online like how big media companies like WB are deleting shows/movies from ever existing just to avoid paying taxes.
