The NBA was so great back then. This Sonics team had Dale Ellis (avg 27 and started the all-star game the year before), Xavier McDaniel (tough guy enforcer who avg 20 ppg 5 years in a row), young Shawn Kemp, Seadale Threatt, who was a great iso player, Michael Cage (top 5 in rebounding several years), Dana Barros, who became a all-star with the sixers, Derrick Mckey (one of the more underrated players), Nate McMillan and Avery Johnson - and THIS TEAM MISSED THE PLAYOFFS.

Early season matchup from 1989-90, broadcast crew via the Sonics simulcast of Kevin Calabro on play-by-play and Rick Barry providing the color commentary.

What game was it that Xavier kicked the ball into the stands at Chicago Stadium? I can still remember that like it was yesterday. I'm pretty sure he was with the Sonics when he did it.

Why MJ wears the AJ 4 if this is 1989-90 season? He not should wear the AJ 5?

1989 jordan is PG in this year

[@masonwoodhouse6589]

Jayjay Ulit the announcer said “the guard Micheal Jordan” witch could mean PG or SG so I think the announcer meant SG

[@purplemonkeydishwasher4241]

That was during the 1988-89 season. This is the 1989-90 season.

[@knightriderzzzzzz]

This is the big three to be honest!! I watched that whole game back then!! McDaniel kept putting body on Jordan and slowed down Mj. Scottie and Horace took up the slack no lie!!! The bulls were a complete TEAM too now!! Micheal is the 🐐🐐 though but he didn't play alone!!! Real Jordan fans like me that he wasn't by himself!

[@raurman4946]

Horace Grant is not even a big "One" led alone a part of a big "Three". He was a great role player and an all-star once in his career because of other players injuries.

[@masonwoodhouse6589]

RaurMan well who else would be in the big 3 in that 1989-1990 season

[@1CHOZN7]

This was not considered a BIG3. Lol Stop trying to make it seem like Jordan had a BIG3 the first 3 titles

[@Ejr82u]

exactly my thoughts when i read the title i said big 3 ? lmaoo

[@michaelshaw7652]

It was for this game.

[@wilsontano8326]

Misleading….was a good game, sonics weren’t blown away…they had a chance.

[@happylifegodislife9942]

Not so big three bruh, maybe big 1, 1/2, 1/2 in that particular time
