Good to see Jordan and McDaniel shake hands at the end of the game

1992 2nd Round X-Man........... 19 on 50% Pippen.......... 16 on 40% X-Man was dominating Pippen, which is why he started chirping in Game 7.. He was talking to Pippen and about to give Pippen another migraine until MJ stepped in to be the enforcer for Pippen.. MJ had learned from the 1990 ECF that he needed to be the enforcer for Pippen and couldn't let him have another migraine to trick off another title like 1990.. Being the big brother and enforcer for Pippen was part of the organic learning curve for MJ.. By 1992, he knew that he needed to confront the bully (X-Man), or his team would fall apart.. The only reason that series went 7 games is because Pippen wet the bed - anytime a series was close or lost, it was Pippen's poor play that caused it like the 89' ECF, 90' ECF, 92' ECSF, 96' Finals, 98' Finals, 98' ECF and more.

Jordan was just different. How he goes up against everyone without fear ☝️ and that is often with a bad look into the next situation and the right movement in fractions of a second is simply unique.

Only if the Knicks had some offensive players besides Ewing...

I remember this game. Loved that period in the NBA.

What we would lime to know is what Jordan’s physical regimen was. His body endured years of high-intensity, full range stress. How did he avoid injuries?

This is my childhood. Jordan is the G.O.A.T. I'll never forget watching him play. I was fortunate enough to get to see him play in person 1 time. LeBum James can't hold Jordan's jock strap.

When NBA was the real world basketball with many many level players,not like today. M.Jordan is the best ever,no way!!! Ciao da Italia

Holy shit that sequence at 3:45 by MJ… sliced the double team, then hit an acrobatic double clutch shot over a double team, then gets the steal, gets it stolen, then never gives up on it & sprints 3/4 of the way down & clean blocks McDaniel… Leflop would never. He’d have been to busy crying to the ref for not calling some phantom foul for him, and woulda let McDaniel just get the easy score.

Can we please just show this game to all of those that say Lebron is the GOAT? MJ is the best to ever do it, period. I have no doubt Lebron could have handled the physicality of the NBA back then, but the bottom line is that he never had to in his era. It's not his fault, but its why I give MJ the nod. Not to mention that they practice load management now and MJ played all 82 games damn near every season, including with the Wizards.
