08:14 PM - October 15, 2009 by MessenjahMattSound familiar? This is not a re-creation of an actual moment, but rather a remake of my very first video from 2K8. I updated it a little bit, but the concept is the same. Kobe sure defends the shot a lot better this time haha.
"23 vs 39" Gatorade Commercial Re-creation. A couple things had to be changed from the original commercial, like old MJ's uniform, the court, and a couple wide angle shots that aren't possible to get in the practice arena's replay mode. The real commercial thankfully had no music, so I put the "Where Will Amazing Happen This Year" song into it, which I think compliments it beautifully.
Michael Jordan jams over Alonzo Mourning. The exclamation on a 52 point game, that saw the Bulls defeat the Hornets 123-108 - March 12th, 1993.
Down by 2 with 10.9 seconds left in Game 3 of the 1991 NBA Finals, Michael Jordan drains the clutch jumpshot to tie the game and send it into overtime; Where the Bulls outscored the Lakers 12 to 4 and took a 2-1 series lead.
Jordan sets a Finals record with 6 three-pointers in a half, during game 1 of the 1992 NBA Finals against Portland. Finishing with 39 points in a 122-89 blowout of the Blazers.
I decided to show all 6 threes this time, to help payoff the shrug a bit more. Then chose a block of time before the shrug to do in real time, including the fast break putback dunk. Which by the way, in Pippen's defense wasn't wide open haha, but there were more important factors to work in than getting that defended.
Jordan's Last Shot as a member of the Chicago Bulls, during game 6 of the 1998 NBA Finals, in the style of the NBA's "Where Will Amazing Happen This Year?" Commercials.
- UPDATE 11.09.09 -
Game 3 in the 1st Round of the 1991 NBA Playoffs brought about one of Jordan's signature moments. With under a minute to go in the first half, Jordan escaped the smothering D of Starks & Oakley, then dunked right over Patrick Ewing for the basket and the foul. The Bulls went on to win the game and knock off the Knicks, on the way to their first Championship.
Marv's "Jordan trying to shake off Starks, Oh what a move by Jordan!" is a classic ingrained in the minds of all Jordan fans, but I also love the excitement from Johnny Red Kerr, so I had to use both versions....

In his fourth game back from retirement in 1995, and the Bulls down by 1 with 5.9 seconds to go, MJ took the ball fullcourt and hit the jumper over Steve Smith at the buzzer to defeat the Hawks 99-98.
Too bad they took the Bulls retro jerseys out this year, I hate how the current ones shine like tin foil.
The restriction of retired numbers in 2K10 has put a halt to my re-creation videos, but my annual "Where Amazing Happens" one can still go on through the magic of Photoshop. Notably on the shorter shorts, doesn't that look good in video game form 2K?
There's a lot more motion in this one than the previous 2, and it's very smooth as well.I was thinking of naming it "NBA 2K10: Where none of this happens" but that's not very catchy ha.
