Michael Jordan Career High Highlights vs Cavaliers (1990.03.28) - 69pts! (HD 720p 60fps)

Boxscore: www.basketball-reference.com/b...
-----
MJ was a nightmare for pretty much every other team that wasn’t in Chicago, particularly the teams that were aligned in the Central Division.
The Cleveland Cavaliers probably got the worst of Jordan’s wrath, particularly during the late 80’s and early 90’s; it’s not that the Cavs were a bad team. In fact, they were one of the better teams in the league, but Jordan just had their number in every which way possible.
With that said, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that Michael’s career high for scoring in a single game came against the Cavs.
P.S. In his honour, a points counter is added and all points including the free throws are edited in the video.

[@QuadLamb]

Defense treated Mj the same because Michael Jordan infamously got all the whistles. He averaged 8.2 free throw attempts per game throughout his whole career. No SG other than James harden gets as much calls as Jordan. Defense is weaker because the 3 is more emphasized and as a result defense is a lot more spread out in the modern nba.

dude is literally the perfect player that has every attributes max out. His ability to defense, board and ofc offense is never replicated at his position. People always compare Kobe to MJ fadeways but they forgot MJs elevation, swiftness and high shooting position were just simply unguardable resulting in crazy efficiency. In addition dude was a beast from 3 point line later on, he got 99 shooting is just 2 pointers were more preferred

It was better this way without the overexposure of the modern internet and media. Sharing his latest feats via word of mouth from young fans that would grow up idolising Jordan, and older fans just awestruck that they were witnessing a once in a generation player. It was have been so much more special that way i feel not having infinite replays and highlights at the palm of your hand. Making you really anticipate with excitement everytime you see the man hit the court on your box CRT TV.

[@riha6468]

I agree, but what if the internet was discovered in the 70's or the 80's!? Every era has its sign. The late 90's and early 00's until now, and we talk ONLY 20+ yrs, the internet and phone technology had evolved something enormously! Only 20+ yrs!!!! Can u imagine that!? And I ask again: What if everything we use today was discovered 35-40 yrs ago? We were lucky that we lived in the time w/o internet and mobile phones! Todays generations are LOST! YES, technology and development are ok and important things, but...sometimes I shout: Bring back the 80's!!!

Fun fact there is a stat called "gamescore" it provides a rough measure of a player's performance/productivity in a single game. This is number one all time. Kobe 81 is second and James Harden's 60 point triple-double ranks third. Out of the top 100 gamescore in regular-season Jordan owns 17/100.
