Michael Jordan, Bulls @ Clippers, 1996-97
Jordan and the Bulls start this game uncharacteristically out of rythm, ending the quarter on a mere 25% FG. Jordan ends up with 40 points with an easy, in-the-flow offensive attack and a prowling defensive exhibition that marked the stat sheet with 4 blocks. The Clippers came out firing, not backing down from the storied, history making franchise. Stacked with two 7 foot, 300+pound frontmen (Stanley Roberts, Kevin Duckworth), an effective floor leader in Pooh Richardson, 6’8 Malik Sealy, 6’7 265lb Rodney Rogers… The Clippers certainly didn’t need to prove that they weren’t a team to be pushed around. But just as you were unlikely to stop Mike, you were unlikely to stop the Bulls – regardless of the physicality of your squad. (The 10 second clip in this video is also played at 4:06, it was an editing mistake on my behalf and it’s true position should be at 4:06. I have missed a bucket because of this, but I won’t be re-uploading. Sorry)

Clearly examples of MJ truly earning his rep as a Basketball God. He was true fluid speed and polished skill and power all into one. BTW, 10:41, crazy Rodman! LOL.

Malik Sealy died in a car accident several years ago. And in my opinion, the Timberwolves never fully recovered from his death. Duckworth retired and went from 285 lbs to over 400 lbs and died last year after suffering heart failure in a hotel room while on a Speaking Tour. An Autopsy showed Acute Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.

He didn’t cheat the game or the fans which is why he is so successful and people have ultimate respect for the man. Today, there is a lot of cheating. trying to create a “jordan” but in player, there is a lack of foundation for their game causing them to fail. MJ had a solid foundation and mentally was very strong, which is why when he cameback in 20 – - he was able to play at such a high level than anyone else.

I can imagine playing ball in that era. It was tough playing in the NBA because you had to deal with MJ. It was also tough playing with MJ because you still had to deal with MJ. WOW.. Scottie was tough mentally and physically, thats why he was able to stay playing with MJ. People say he was weak meantlly. But I dont think so. If they lost early in the years together say 88, 89,.. think of it, he had to deal with MJ as well, so he had to be mentally strong and still comeback and play.
