Went here right after the Darrell Armstrong episode in the Knuckleheads podcast (Q and D-Miles). Armstrong said Jordan INTENTIONALLY missed his last freethrow bec he wanted to send a message to the Orlando Magic and their fans. **After intentionally missing the freethrow, Jordan finished with 45 points to sweep the Magic. The season before this, Jordan was wearing jersey number 45 when the Magic beat the Bulls and made it to the NBA Finals.**

Because Nick Anderson made a comment that number 45 is not number 23 on game 3. In game 4 Jordan was introduced by the Orlando commentator by the number 45 and when Jordan removed the jacket off he was wearing number 23. Jordan took it personal. At the end of the game, Bulls swept the Magic in their home court. Jordan scored 45 points. 😊😊

The Magic had just eliminated him from the playoffs. You probably sound smart to a dumb person

Scottie Pippen was so generous at 3:14, pulling on Penny's jersey so he wouldn't get dunked on lol

Im 52 now. As an Orlando native but true Jordan fan, I remember being the only one amongst my friends rooting against the Magic. The Magic beating the Bulls in 95 literally brought out psycho Michael which caused his revenge and onslaught on the league. 72-10 and 87-13 overall with the ring. That is clearly a better season than the 73-9 Warriors. Bulls lost only 3 games in the playoffs. The Magic player that took that last shot that Jordan shakes hands with, Brooks Thompson sadly passed away in 2016 at age 45.

Damn, MJ always step up another gear in the game that really counts. He didn't need to go 100 finals. He simply won the Finals he went to; 6 for 6.

Jordan buried the Magic with those 45 points. With an opportunity to sweep them he made sure the Magic were dead and buried. He was a killer.

What ever arena MJ was in he got cheers, and i mean wherever he was. To have watched this man perform was something.

Melo360 but he was washed right

Aside from that dunk, did he get a layup at any point in this game? Even great shooters like Steph Curry get a layup once in a while. Klay Thompson too. Man Michael Jordan is underrated as a shooter. He happens to shoot from midrange mostly, but his form is so pure. Crazy that he was just shooting contested midrange shots that whole game and hitting a ton of them.

Excellent Quality video from 1996! Great work as always! Yeah, I couldn't stand the fact that the Jordan haters were ready to dig his grave back in the 1995 playoffs. You could see the razor like intensity he had in this playoff series. Sweet revenge...and the end of the Orlando Magic Shaq era!

Yeah, that was the competitor MJ was and the fire that burned inside of him. It's really amazing that he averaged 22 & 20 points a game at ages 39 & 40, no player has ever done that and never will, that i'm sure of. While it's true that at this age, MJ was'nt the player he was in his prime, he was still great and i cherished every last moment watching him, because i knew there was not gonna be another cat like him.

The glare on Jordan's face throughout this contest showed everyone that he wasn't going to let the series go beyond that game. Michael came to play and win. Quickly disposing of Orlando would give him and the Bulls some rest going into the Finals.

yes i read it again and found out bout the wizards days..my goodness mj was 40 years old..38-40 that time! call that a comparison really. haha.. for me, he returned for himself, w/o caring what we think! and that says a lot about mj's character and his undying love for the game. afterall, for us fans..we couldnt care less his numbers and stats having him back was one of the best times and that every arena gave him the fitting farewell he deserves!!

The game strategy was this: give the ball to Jordan and clear it out and or run him off screens an give it to him on his sweet spot.

Don't realize what makes MJ great is that he always seems to take shot while the clock is running down Money!

Shaq was like yo Jordans back in full effect I'm out of here see yo .

Right, now as far as Kobe is concerned, that's a bad ass dude and a great player, no doubt about that, i think one of the 10-15 greatest players of all time in his own right as we speak. As far as those 8 head to head games, well half of those we're 2001-03 when MJ was well past his prime of course, even then he still held his own pretty damn well against Kobe at 40 years old. MJ certainly was'nt better at that time, but he still held his own and did'nt embarrass himself.

wowww. i remember this game. wowwww. the bulls:)

He only scored 45 points to rub salt in the wounds of the Magics.

@Brandoni73 you are right! :)that year losing the playoffs was maybe the most darkest or humiliating time for mj..haters were everywhere erasing him in the picture, he maybe experienced worse for me than the usual players today who are dissed thrugh social media & stuff..yet that time he took it as a challenged to be better and nt whine about it but shut down thise haters w/ his play & dedication. for that reason alone he is the best!:)

yes,and he was doing it with no help in a very bad team...but he was still one of the top player in the league despite only being a shadow of himself.

He may miss but no one can stop him. Just too many moves and if by chance guess correctly, he adjusts mid air
