Michael Jordan 1998: 40pts Vs Rockets (Clyde, Hakeem, Chuck)
I had about this game until I forget it by accident. This was MJ's last game against Clyde, Hakeem and Barkley (aside from MJ and Hakeem meetings during the 2002 season). The veteran Assembly took some interest in Mike and the fact that Barkley strongly suggested that he would win his last game against him. Now we know what usually happens after someone says Sun MJ had answers for all three of Hofer's in this one. Each bucket by one of them was answered immediatelyMJ. MJ decided to enter his zone, and from then on, the game was to watch his mastery reduced. While the Rockets kept it close until about the 4th Quarter, MJ quietly took his spots and used his incredible basketball IQ, to thwart the challenge. What you see here is MJ's perfection of the game. Sure, he could still rely on his athleticism, but his knowledge of the game was so high that he only needed to use little tricks to get his shots. His game was so polished and refined that even in old age35, he was able to dominate on-demand. Watching all the legends in this game was pure basketball. And just pull out another masterpiece MJ, when the world was even purer. (I credit for JXN with this game up earlier in order to remind me).
