Swarming Pistons Defense Keeps Michael Jordan in Check (7-of-22 from the field)
Swarming Pistons Defense Keeps Michael Jordan in Check (7-of-22 from the field)

March 13, 1987 - This nine-day stretch of the 1986-87 regular season was the tale of two extremes. On March 4, Michael Jordan rolled into the Pontiac Silverdome and hung a casual 61-spot on the Pistons in a 125-120 overtime win. For the rematch, however, Detroit seemed to have an answer—which was to swarm Jordan with a multitude of defenders and hope for one of two possible outcomes: 1. Jordan fires at will anyway 2. Jordan is forced to utilize his meager supporting cast In the end, both elements came to fruition, with Jordan continuously attempting high difficulty shots through heavy defensive contests while his teammates did what they could to keep the Bulls afloat. And, odd as it may sound, it was performances like John Paxson's 8-of-11 night and Charles Oakley's 16 points and 12 rebounds that secured a double-digit lead for the Bulls throughout much of the evening. As Detroit tightened their vice grip down the stretch, Chicago saw their lead dissipate, until it was up to Jordan to save the day, as he so often would. Alas, as with the majority of his attempts on this particular night, his final shot went begging, delivering the Pistons a thrilling 100-99 road victory. Jordan finished with 24 points in all—10 points below his season average—while shooting just 7-of-22 from the field. Box Score: https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/198703130CHI.html

80's Michael Jordan Leads Bulls to 50 Wins for 1st Time Since 1974 in Stacked East
80's Michael Jordan Leads Bulls to 50 Wins for 1st Time Since 1974 in Stacked East

Rapid rise! If you were around to witness the early years of Michael Jordan's career you understand that the Bulls organization couldn't even maintain the arena properly, when MJ got there. Players would often complain about the awful flooring that the Bulls used, on top of the Blackhawks ice, and players would often slide & fall on the court. Forget running a winning NBA franchise, the Bulls couldn't even properly maintain the actual basketball court. The locker room was infested with drugs & players who didn't care about winning. Achieving 50 wins, this quickly, is one of MJ's most underrated feats!! Considering ALL the circumstances, this was one of the great sports turnarounds, EVER! The Bulls hadn't won 50 games since 1974. The Bulls wins & losses, during their first 50 win season since 1974, were directly dependent on Jordan's scoring & defense. When Jordan scored: Under 25 points: Bulls went 2-8 (20% win %) 25-29 points: Bulls went 7-6 (53.8% win %) 30-34 points: Bulls went 12-4 (75% win %) 35-39 points: Bulls went 16-10 (61.5% win %) 40+ points: Bulls went 13-5 (72.2% win %) For context, Shaq & Kobe had a 72.9% win % as a duo. When 1987-88 Jordan scored 40+ points he had the Bulls just shy of Shaq & Kobe's duo win %. That's insane! Peak Michael Jordan was like nothing we've ever seen. As for this specific performance, this should have been a gimme, the Celtics did not have McHale or Bird, who were both out due to injury. You would think that MJ's supporting cast would give him adequate help, and he'd be able to put on a cruise control performance. WRONG. Bulls were barely holding on to a slim 3 point lead, in crunch time, against Celtics backups. Once again, there was Michael Jordan, telling all his teammates to jump on his back... so he could once again will the Bulls to victory. This game also illustrated how far the Bulls still had to go, from the perspective of developing a supporting cast.

They are trying to tell you that they didn't watch the Michael Jordan era, and there are much better things you could be doing with your time rather than listening to their takes on an era they didn't even watch. Would you go to someone for an opinion on Shakespeare if they had never seen the plays Macbeth, Hamlet, or Othello? Of course you wouldn't. Consider the source. Nobody who watched that era would trash the talent all around the league. Michael Jordan played in a great era with a great blend of fierce competitors, awe inspiring athletes, lock down defenders, knock down shooters, and ultra skilled ballers.

NBA Players Explain Why Scottie Pippen Destroyed Everybody (Kobe, Jordan, Shaq..)

"Whenever they speak Michael Jordan, they should speak Scottie Pippen." - Michael Jordan 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 Pip was a definition of all around player. An absolute monster on defense. Always seemed to make a perfect pass or steal. Probably the most underrated NBA player in history simply because he played next to the greatest ever. His contributions to the team might not show up on stat sheets the way Jordan’s did, but only Jordan could overshadow his contributions. 🔔 SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/piotrekzproductions?sub_confirmation=1 📸 Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/piotrekz_designs ☑️ Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/piotrekzprod 🐦 Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/piotrekzprod 📩 Contact: piotrekzprod@gmail.com 0:00 Intro 0:32 Michael Jordan 1:16 Kobe Bryant 1:49 John Salley 2:10 Reggie Miller 2:26 Toni Kukoc 2:50 Defense on Magic Johnson 3:16 Gilbert Arenas 3:43 Grant Hill 3:56 GOAT 4:42 Gary Payton 5:23 Quentin Richardson 5:29 John Salley 5:59 Magic Johnson 6:10 John Paxson 7:09 Dennis Rodman 8:13 Charles Oakley 8:28 Larry Johnson 8:36 Charles Barkley 9:09 Draymond Green 9:38 Charles Barkley 10:21 Shaquille O'Neal 11:11 Isiah Thomas All audio and video clips are the sole property of their respective owners. #ScottiePippen #MichaelJordan #TheLastDance
