Michael Jordan 1988: 44pts Vs. Hakeem's Rockets
The master at it again against the most versatile center, perhaps ever. By Akeem (Hakeem still not changed here) in the post, took his defensive MJ game on a different level. He knew that to beat Akeem, he would have to increase its defensive intensity, and he did just that with five blocks and five steals in addition to its 44-point offensive brilliance. He Akeem blocked twice and set the tone at the beginning. Again, MJ is upset exhausted with his perimeter game and maxed racing game. But it was allLeadership flatly that stood here. With nine assists and 30 points in the second Half coupled with his always efficient 16-28 shooting, made sure MJ, the Bulls got the victory with all the more a piece of the action. What is incredible, again, is that not only make MJ clutch baskets, but his clutch steals and rebounds have always been there, and often overlooked. Is it just me or is MJ still on the rebound off the last shot from the opposing team to ensure that it seals the game? Unreal.
