Ron Harper (36pts/10rebs/6asts/4blks) vs. Bulls (1989)

If Harper never got injured he would have been 1 st ballot hall of fame

harper was the closest player to MJ besides kobe RIP

guys dont fight like this on defense anymore man

HAS GUTS

After 5 years Harper joining the bulls

The serious injury that he had, is that an ACL? Like Derrick Rose and Kobe...

Wow two future Bulls Kerr and Harper staring in Chicago stadium rare game for sure.

I started to watch NBA since Jordan’s baseball break. First knew Harper when he played with the bulls. Now learnt how good he was. He could be a star himself but willing to do all low profile works. Not easy to make the choice for a man. Thumbs’ up for him.

Why would Cleveland trade this man? Was he a bad teammate? Did he seek a trade? I can't think of a sound reason why they would send this guy away nearly a couple weeks after this game and this performance. He was literally one of the few players that could hold his own against young, prime MJ on BOTH sides of the court.

E. 126th/Kinsman! John Adam's High School! Still remember when they traded Harp for danny ferry...SMDH!!!

Jordan said Harper was the toughest player for him to play against

And then he was traded a few days later for one of the biggest busts ever-- Danny Ferry.

Jordan always had high regards for Ronny Harper. I remember the old guy in cleveland once told me Harper was Jordan-ish. We could see that here. It was too bad he had those injuries at the time when an ACL tear was almost a career ending; same with football at the time.

96-2001 Ron Was Draggin that bad knee

The Last Dance brought me here. Ron Harper was giving Jordan the business. I'm a Bulls Fan and I admit Ron Harper had game.

wait, 89? but there is bj armstrong

I told people about this game for years and no one believed me; Jordan could not stop Harper
. Thanks for sharing.

Hold up hold up....hold the hell up did i see mike on :20 do the euro back in 90🤔

This is why I laugh when they say the warriors would have rand threw the bulls but people really forget about Harper and how good his offense and defense was. He would have gave steph a run for his money

Before the injuries, Ron would give Jordan that work...

I was at this game rooting for the Cavaliers - He refused to let them lose and almost beat them himself

This shows the world that Jordan was far from great he was on the same lvl as any other player but you put all these good players together you will always win not saying Jordan was a bum but he wouldnt have one these rings with out these guys he hand pick these players kerr too kerr was balling too look at the high lights look at pippen highlight when Jordan left the NBA he was avg 30+ so put Jordan there that 65+ together that's just them 2 players why you think Kobe pick up haper

Crazy watching mj getting a abused yet people say LeBron wouldn't have a chance does anyone think he Harper is a better player than Bron even tho Harper was no joke dude was a baller

Wow. Great clip to see a young Harper and Kerr. The Cavs were good in those years.

Them old school highlight tapes was weak as hell 😂😂 no real flashiness 😂 just set shots, a pass to a layup

Jordan thinkin i could make something happen if we get harper and kerr

Wow dude was going off. It's hard to remember young Harper cuz of the so noted Bulls dynasty.

Harp was bullying Jordan

Ron Harper, Steve Kerr, and Michael Jordan all on the court at the same time. And they’re not in the same team.

I would take MJ, this version of Ron harper, pip, Dennis Rodman and luc Longley vs joker, draymond, LeBron, klay and steph. Give me mike in 7.

Never know Harper was a teammate of Steve Kerr back in the day!

Ron... Do some pike pushups to roll push ups... Do some dip bar walk and turns... Do some walk on hands... Reverse planks... Like your driving and parking... Do some jumps... using a pole... to get height... Do some practice kicks using a pool ball... Leg in then kick... Jumping... 1 v 1... Do some euro steps and spins and double spins around the corners of the house... Turn the basket... All corner shot... Use the board... Keep it low... 3 moves... Behind the back... Back thru the legs... 1... 2... Cross... 1 v 1... Trick shots... Step back in a corner... Go back up from corner...

THAT YOUNG HEALTHY RON HARPER USE TO GIVE MJ AND THE BULLS THE BUSINESS!!

Breakaway foul on Cartwright????????

The Cavaliers' relevance ended the day they traded this man. Worst trade in NBA history.

Shaun Livingston always gave me Ron Harper vibes

Jordan said f this get me kerr n harper asap

I never knew that Kerr and Harper go up against
MJ and Pip. Wow!!

People forget Harper use be baller before knee injuries

There is a list of guys that always seem to be in every old school NBA clip; Steve Kerr, Robert Horry, Danny Ainge. It's like, were they on every team at some point or something? Why is one of those guys in EVERY clip?

The Harper trade is by far the worst in Cleveland history.

Naw he was cooking MJ 🧐😭😭

keep in mind this is prime youth jordan not the old jjordan they went at it its very rare u see someone offensively give jordan a hard time

Suoerteam

Pre-injury Ron Harper was one of the best shooting guards of the game, often compared with Michael Jordan.

.......I REMEMBER WHEN .....THE SO CALLED GOAT.......HAD........NOTHING...... ON THIS MAN.......PART OF A GREAT TEAM.......

Still pissed the Cavs traded Harper for Ferry.
