Itching to 3-peat, MJ wrapped up the first round sweep of the Atlanta Hawks in typical, dominant fashion. Dominique Wilkins, as awesome as he was, simply was no match for the complete game of MJ's. Yes, you had your beautiful jumpers, cunning drives and smart defensive plays all in this game as usual but the story of the game was MJ's ankle sprain which looked as bad as his 2nd year broken foot injury. I thought to myself, either this is the end or if he somehow comes back, he'll switch to another gear to compensate and score 40+ points. Well, he went down with 25 points and after he came back, he poured in 14 more on one foot to hit for 39. So I was off by 1 point which wasn't too shabby.

(I have Game 1 of this series uploaded just before this and my good friend ForEmily23 has game 2 uploaded (a must see game as well) here:

  • I hope this video ...

    I hope this video dispels the myth that MJ couldn't shoot 3's, cause that first one was from deep and the other one off the dribble was like the dagger. Thanks to Jamal Crawford for the video. I was hoping when MJ made his final comeback with the Wizards he would land Crawford. It was rumored that he and MJ won 13 straight pick-up games together. Crawford said it was easy to play with MJ and I heard MJ made an attempt to get him but Krause declined it.

    Thanks for the upload Hoops. I am glad you managed to get a game in with one of my favortie Pg's of all time. Good ol' Mookie Blaylock. Granted Jordan put it to him, he was still one of my favorite players to watch.

    i know blaylock is small, but that was a massive dunk by Pippen at 3.25. if the bulls were at home the place would've errupted.

  • Shorter guys always ...

    Shorter guys always defender Jordan better. Their ability to move fast laterally, adjust their positioning and stay low to the ground limited his ability to drive. John Starks, Joe Dumars are prime exmaples. Yet he burn his opponent no matter who it was...

  • And I know Mookie ...

    And I know Mookie was a sneaky lil fucker back in the day, but what rocket scientist came with the idea to put him on MJ?! I guess they figured since he looked like MJ's dad (RIP) Mike might take it easy on him. NOT!!

    I love Hubie's comment "It's like he's playing a game of horse all by himself" about Jordan.

    "HE SIMPLY REFUSES TO LET THE BULLS LOSE". That about sums it up.
