And so began MJ's legacy as the greatest playoff performer there ever will be, which of course is the main reason why he is the greatest ever be there. Although we had already seen MJ perform His miracles in college and Olympic level, this was MJ's first great NBA playoff game - a game in which he mastered by balancing the fine line between aggressiveness and team chemistry. MJ mixed up intense attacks on the rim, while all the dirty work - setting hard screens,Fly for loose balls, cutting and creating for his teammates, so that all goes right, plays non-stop, hard defense and doubled everything in the clutch. With the game tied with a big Bucks team, rookie MJ took over in the last 7 minutes with 13 of his 35 points and relentless defense of the Bulls in a sweep and elimination store. The many layers of MJ's size in its initial phase, all were here. But above all, increase the ability to be game if it had to be absolutelywas raised on full display. a harbinger of the enormous and impossible achievements he would attain in the years to come - and it was rewarded with the first game-winner in the real MJ's season. (Sorry for the video problems. The statistics I counted myself so I may miss a number here and there to have.)
The 6th and final game between the two clubs ball (this season) saw rookie Jordan shine. MJ had 33 points (48% FG), 7 rebounds and 3 assists in a narrow 107-104 victory. I would say that was a precursor of the following year (Jordan's famous series vs. Boston).
Action starts at 0:57 seconds.Typical game - men are playing, no children). Bill took a hit from Scott Williams. Rodman is knocking Jordan. Isiah hits Paxon with his elbow. Stacey wants to fight with each. A couple leaves the court, also a trainer. Simple: BAD BOYS. Big, strong, solid game.
Young MJ, 63 had scored in the playoffs the year before, but here, in his third per year for 23 years, he scored 58 of his regular season high at the time. MJ broke Chet Walker's Bull's record, which was at 56. Going 16-25 and 26-27 from the FT line, stomping the ending it all. "And it came in spectacular fashion Michael Jordan - Foul, hang-time to reverse - all of it"
