Michael Jordan 1988: 47pts Vs. NY Knicks, "Stomach Virus"

There was another "Flu" game before the famous Utah game and it happened here. This version of MJ was too athletic to care about his illness. Sitting out the whole day sick, MJ came to NYC with a vengeance. The season was almost over and NY was fighting to get the 7th seed in the playoffs so the intensity was thick. MJ cut through it all with ridiculous baskets all night long. Having one of his 'super-zone' games where hitting 70-80% was the norm, MJ went 17-23 with his athletic bag of one-handed, double-pump jumpers, contorted shots, slashing drives, dunks and fades. MJ's incredible ability to hit difficult shots more consistently than most players hit open shots was beyond comprehension. But again, it was the clutch defensive play that destroyed NY's chances of winning the game. It was the substance behind his style that always sealed the victory. Before becoming the greatest ever, MJ was the most exciting ever and Madison Square Garden never let us down. (The famous alley-oop on Mark Jackson's head happens here).

i think Jordan plays better when he has the flu. Just a thought. He just had to force it when he had the flu

the hoop and the harm

Awesome vid, and right before some of Jordan's baskets you can hear the old school organ playing the defense tune 'um um, um um, um um, um um' That must've been his theme music to score more. "um um, um,um"

Man, MJ's team was truly shitty in the early years. Some folks who say that MJ had a great supporting cast around him often forget how crappy everyone around him really was. Even when Pip and Horace started developing, the engine that made that growth possible was MJ.

fuck kboe fuck james fuck carter fuck all the NBA if Jordan the GOAT is not playing. look cearfully how many time he's been duble & triple timed. and still he is scoring wooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

when he got older. he only drove when he needed to. but wut the hell man he could do whatever he wants. G.O.A.T

He was more deserving, but Barkely definetly deserved a ring as well. I know Sir Charles was only a Sun for a few years and that he was better known with Philly.

Nah, I'm from Tucson and i still think he was more deserving of that championsip than Chuckster who was never really a Sun.

And people said he only drove to the basket in his early years. Thia was a good mix of inside and outside work.

You forgot Orlando, Utah, Phoenix, and Philly ;)
