I remember my uncle told me he watched this game live with my dad, they were huge celtics fans. He told me when jordan started dropping 63 on them and they were literally switching defensive players on his to try and stop jordan my uncle said he looked over to my dad and said “I’ve seen some good basketball players but not like this guy, this guy is scary. I ain’t never seen anything like this, I’ve seen guys score 60 but not like that.” Watching this and watching others players score 60 is just different. Just the way jordan does it against the greatest team of the 80s is unmatched.

I watched it live as well. I just remember thinking he’s going to get his so they should focus on winning the game which they did in 2 OT. Jordan wouldn’t have broken the record that day had it not gone over. The loose foul call on McHale was the difference maker. The 86 Celtics still have the best roster and team I’ve ever seen play.

4 Hall of Famers vs. 1. But, that 1 nearly bridged that gap because he was that insanely amazing and had the strongest will to win we probably have ever seen!

What always goes under the radar about this game is how damn good Boston was this season. They went 67-15, and 40-1 at home (an NBA record). They were the 3rd ranked offense and 1st ranked defense. This was Larry Bird at his absolute peak, Kevin Mchale at his peak, Robert Parish and Dennis Johnson still very good, Danny Ainge was among the best shooters in the league, and a rejuvenated Bill Walton came off the bench and won 6th man of the year on this team. A total of 5 HOFERS. I’d put this Boston up with the 96 Bulls and 17 Warriors for the title of best ever, the passing, balance, and defense was outrageous. Yet, Jordan made them look mediocre all night long. Shows why he’s the G.O.A.T.

The best thing is the aftermath. Context: it's a best 3 out of 5 series. The Celtics had gone up 2-0 but they avoided the home split ONLY by getting through a double overtime. Now the Celtics go to Chicago for potentially 2 games. Kevin McHale is spotted at the Chicago airport without a suitcase, as he arrives. The reporter asks "Where's your suitcase?" And McHale replies: "I'm only staying 1 day". Because of course he knew he'd be returning to Boston after game 3.

Double overtime at that.

amazing

I think what makes Jordan stand out as most people's GOAT is how ahead of time he was compared to the vast majority of his competition, it's almost as if he travelled back in time from the early 2000s. With how much the league has adapted, it's basically impossible to protrude this much in today's NBA.

This was 85-86 season not 86-87. Channel dedicated to Jordan don't even know that smh

Rick Carlisle.. Coach of the Mavs 3:05

One of the amazing things about this game is that Jordan scored 63 against a very tough defensive team in the playoffs. DJ was guarding him, and he was known as a very good individual defensive player, and the celtics were knows as a great defensive team, you had Mchale and Parish. This was not a normal 63. Scoring 63 against this celtics team is out of this world insane. That's MJ for you, a beast.

He did this against a stacked HOF team, a team that was ranked top 5 defensively, and this was only his second season and coming off of a foot injury! Why Jordan hater refuse to give him his due props is crazy.

Bulls get swept but all the Celtics can talk about is "God i shorts waxed us."

7:57 That would have been a career highlight as well for Bird. And you know he could've made it.

💪💪💪💪💪💪🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀 Hyped Young Michael Jordan he drop 63 Points

"Come Fly With Me" on VHS, as a kid I thought that play against Bird where he went between his legs 3 times was the coolest shit I'd ever seen.

MJ was way ahead of his time.

Dude did this after missing pretty much the entire season with an injury and was advised by everybody to sit this out. His Bulls were a pathetic 30-52, 8-33 on the road, and with no other all stars, barely making the playoffs. It was against the single greatest team ever at the time and still considered by many to be top 10. They were 40-1 at home in the most iconic stadium, a record to this day, the number 1 defense in the league, had 5 future hall of famers, the 6th man of the year, and the MVP Larry Bird at his absolute peak. Despite it being almost 40 years ago, nobody - not Kobe or Steph or Lebron or Dame - has come close to 63 points in the playoffs.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. Jordan certainly would still be one of the top 3 athletes in todays game, but the rest of the players have gotten WAY more athletic due to increases in training/dieting and the internationalization of the game (bigger talent pool). Many of these players simply wouldn't be athletic or long enough to play in todays game. This era had a lot of pure 3 point shooters like Steve Kerr and Danny Ainge who would just stand behind the 3 point line and shoot and not be great at much else. Today you have to be able to switch and guard multiple positions, so they probably wouldn't make it in 2021.

@@BearBear5 its not just based on training/dieting it's mostly about the talent pool. Look at all the great players from Slovenia, Serbia, Croatia, Greece, Germany, & Africa in today's modern NBA...Jordan internationalized the NBA and thereby doubled or tripled the amount of talent that's out there. Now you almost need to have freakishly long arms, can dribble like a point guard and guard any position. Those less athletic 3 point shooters from the 90s wouldn't be able to play. In the 90s players would rarely switch and the short unathletic 3 point shooters would just follow their counterparts all around the court. Today, those players would get switched onto guys who they wouldn't be able to guard.

0:56 greatest play ever

I went browsing in Wikipedia and discovered that MJ dropped 49 in Game 1, only to be blown out by 19. Then this happens and they still lose, then end up being swept. That's gotta be incredible fuel for the man.

1:26 It's so cool how Jordan prevents McHale and Bird from getting the ball by holding it behind his back with one hand.

Dumb ass. How about James Harden getting 50 FT attempts per game in simple touch fouls worse than the fouls in this video? Do you even see fouls that are upward swing motion and gets free throws in this video? All of those fouls are drives to the basket. Least defense today and more offense with more simplier touch fouls.
