Please ask the NBA history of the legendary story please gods
I. Tall doesn't mean everything Event: An inconsequential regular-season game in 1986-87, when the Chicago Bulls met the Utah Jazz. Moment: 1m98 Jordan dunked a basket over the head of 1m83 Jazz organization guard John Stockton on an offensive possession. The home team's fans were not having it, and as Jordan ran back to his defensive half of the court at the end of the possession, one of the home team players on the sidelines yelled at Jordan, "Get someone your own size to dunk!" RESULT: On the Bulls' next possession, Jordan was given a fast break opportunity, this time facing the 2'12" Mel Turpin. Jordan once again leaped high into the air and dunked another one over Turpin's head in almost the same fashion. On the run back, Jordan said to the player, "Is it tall enough this time?" II. The Sins of Miami EVENT: The Chicago Bulls faced the Miami Heat in the 1997 Eastern Conference Finals, with the Bulls leading 3-0 and one game away from victory. Moment: Perhaps with victory just around the corner, Jordan was too relaxed. Before this game, he soaked up the entire day on the golf course. From sun up to sun down, he had been playing golf. As a result, on the night of the game, he missed all of his first 15 shots and hit only 1 of his 22 attempts in the first 3 quarters. RESULT: By the fourth quarter, Jordan started to perform, scoring 20 points by himself and nearly leading the Bulls in a come-from-behind victory. Jordan left his teammates open-mouthed, with Steve Kerr saying, "Most guys don't recover on a night like that, they've missed a lot of shots and never find their groove again. But Jordan did it, and it was another example of his high spirits and confidence." III. Age is just a number EVENT: On February 21, 2003, the Atlantic League-leading New Jersey Nets traveled to Washington, D.C., to play the Wizards for the fourth time this season. The Nets had won the previous three. The Moment: The Wizards were facing a critical moment in their playoff run, and Jordan had just celebrated his 40th birthday. The result: Jordan already had one of the oldest records in his career, as he was the oldest player in NBA history to win a championship. But on this night, he accomplished the famous "40-40" - the first 40-year-old player in NBA history to score 40 or more points in a single game. He played 43 minutes and scored 43 points as the Wizards beat their rival 89-86. Jordan said, "I don't feel like I'm at 40, I feel like I can still play, and I can still play my best on a given night. My energy never gets old, my desire to win never gets old, my love of basketball never gets old. My body can get to 40, but those things will stay young forever." Fourth, it is this pair of shoes Event: on March 8, 1998, Jordan came to the Madison Square Garden Arena in New York. In his mind at the time, he thought it would be his last visit to Madison. The Moment: Since Madison is one of Jordan's favorite NBA arenas, second only to the Bulls' home arena, the United Center, Jordan wanted to do something special to say goodbye to the arena. He chose one of the earliest "Flyers Jordan Shoes". These shoes, which he wore in 1985, were two sizes too small, had white and red laces, and had a hard sole. The result: Jordan scored 42 points on the night, even though the shoes didn't fit. Jordan, who is 35, made the same flyer moves he did the first time he wore the shoes - countless dunks, aerials, backward drop shots and dazzling footwork. "I decided to wear these shoes to show how much I love this place, and how much the people here respect me." Jordan said. FIVE: Don't piss him off EVENT: Game 2 of the 1991 NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers. MOMENT: It was the Bulls' first trip to the NBA Finals, and they lost Game 1 on their home court, so many thought the experienced Lakers would win the title 4-0. This pissed Jordan off, and he volunteered to give up his point guard position in favor of playing more of an organizational guard who controls the ball. The result: Jordan shot 15-of-18 from the field and had 13 assists as the Bulls won the game. The Bulls then went on to win three games in a row, beating the Lakers 4-1. One of Jordan's most famous layups came in this game - he dribbled and jumped for a dunk in the middle of the court, and this time he was using his right hand. But when he saw the Lakers' A-C Green and Sam Perkins seemingly coming to block, Jordan handed the ball from his right hand to his left hand in the air and hooked the boards into the basket. This ball once let the Lakers core "Magic" Johnson worship to the body. Six, do not expect him to fatigue Event: 1992 NBA Finals Game 1 against the Portland Trail Blazers. Moment: At that time, the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals had been dragged by the New York Knicks for seven games, and many people believed that they had been very fatigued and that it would be very difficult to win the championship. RESULT: Jordan made six 3-pointers in the first half, setting a new NBA Finals record, and the Bulls went on to win 122-89. When he made his sixth three-pointer, he shrugged his shoulders at Magic Johnson, who was sitting courtside as a TV commentator. Against Clyde "The Glider" Drexler, Jordan averaged 35-8 points per game as the Bulls won the Finals 4-2. Drexler later said, "I used to think Jordan had 2,000 kinds of fakes, I was wrong, he had 3,000 kinds." Seven, Madison Garden Ball Event: March 28, 1995, Jordan retired one year and six months after the return to the NBA, the first time to New York's Madison Square Garden Arena. Moment: This time Jordan did not wear the No. 23 jersey, just comeback he also draped in the Bulls No. 45. The result: he scored 55 points. But that wasn't the most iconic; when the game came down to the wire, he passed the ball to teammate Bill Wennington, who scored to give the Bulls a close win. Later Winnington said, "Michael is probably the only person in the world who scored 55 points in a game by himself, and the best play was a pass. You never knew what his next move was going to be." VIII. BACK TO THE FUTURE EVENT: Game 2 of the first round of the 1986 Eastern Conference playoffs against the legendary Boston Celtics. THE MOMENT: Due to a broken foot at the start of the season, Jordan only played 18 games this season. But the most different thing Jordan did was make possible what others thought was impossible. RESULT: Virtually every Celtics player in the game was defending Jordan. Celtics coach K.C. Jones said, "Maybe other teams could have said, 'Let Jordan score by himself and defend everybody else.' But that wasn't our plan, we just didn't let him score." Jordan wound up scoring 63 points, setting an NBA playoff record for most points in a single game, and the Bulls won 135-131 in two overtimes. Jones said, "He still scored 63 points, and it was from that time on that we had our first peek at the future of the NBA, and it was a real palpitation." Nine, pain and pleasure Event: 1997 NBA Finals Game 5 against the old rival Utah Jazz, before the two sides have played to a 2-2 tie, this one is the Jazz's home court. Moment: on the first night Jordan ate unclean pizza, due to food poisoning feet are soft. At the start of the game, his stomach hurt so much that he could barely stand. A severely dehydrated Jordan waddled onto the court with the footwork of a drunk. The result: He played 44 minutes and scored 38 points, including the game-winning three-pointer in the final second. He also had seven rebounds, five assists and three breakups. Teammate Scottie Pippen said, "I've never seen Michael that sick, and at that point I didn't think he'd even be able to put on a jersey, let alone play. But he did, let us see what is a miracle. He's not just the greatest player in NBA history, he's also the greatest leader." Ten, this is Jordan Event: 1998 NBA Finals Game 6, Chicago Bulls against Utah Jazz. Moment: The Bulls were leading 3-2, but if they didn't win this game, Game 7 was going to be held on the Jazz's home court. Many hoped that this game would be Jordan's last before he retired, and Jordan did. Jordan scored 45 points. Especially in the last minute, when the Bulls were down 4 points, Jordan first got two points on a layup and then broke the ball from Karl Malone. Dribbling to the frontcourt, Jordan faked out Bron Cassell, who was defending him, for a jumper near the free throw line. The Bulls won by one point at the end to complete their second three-peat. "He's not going to let us lose." Coach Phil Jackson said after the game. Jackson went on to say, "If he decides it's his last game, he's going to make it a game that all the people will remember well. He's the greatest player of all time and he's going to prove it."
