They did, in OT. They were a rag-tag mix of drugged-out and aging veterans (Quintin Daily, Orlando Woolridge, George Gervin) and youngsters (Charles Oakley, John Paxson). A really bad roster.What no one ever mentions is that the Bulls lost that game.
Saw him and the Bulls against the Hawks in a '92 preseason matchup at the Trop. The thing that stood out most about Jordan was how fluid his game was. His movement was like art.Interestingly, the only time in my life I've seen Jordan in person was at a 1994 minor league baseball game.
The game has changed A LOT since MJ played.
Seriously, with the game on the line, in whose hands did you want the ball?Very true. Jordan was a ball hog dick that game. Had he passed the ball more and gotten his teammates more involved, the Bulls would have won. MJ was selfish and cost them that game, whether people choose to believe that or not. Fcvking glory boy.

Orlando Woolridge, 9-for-27 for the game?
Dave Corzine, a tall stiff?
Charles Oakley, who had a bad shot as a rook?
Kyle Macy?
Maybe Pax off the bench, but he was a spotup jump shooter. He couldn't create his own space.
No way the Bulls, 30-52 on the regular season, take the champion Celtics to OT without Jordan shooting the ball again and again
BTW, he was .537 from the field that afternoon.
You just taught me something I didn't know. The 63 point game was a playoff game.No way the Bulls, 30-52 on the regular season, take the champion Celtics to OT without Jordan shooting the ball again and again
Incredible talent + incredible work ethic = greatness.
They were a horrible basketball team that year. The '87 draft brought Scottie Pippen via trade with Seattle and Horace Grant.You just taught me something I didn't know. The 63 point game was a playoff game.
The Bulls qualified for the damn playoffs with a 30-52 record? WTF? That's what you get when 8 out of 11 teams in a conference make the playoffs. It's too many.
The Bulls were 8-33 on the road that season.
