| 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).
