| Michael Jordan 1988: 47pts Vs. NY Knicks, "Stomach Virus" |
 |
There was another "Flu" game before the famous
Utah game and it happened here. This version of MJ
was too athletic to care about his illness.
Sitting out the whole day sick, MJ came to NYC
with a vengeance. The season was almost over and
NY was fighting to get the 7th seed in the
playoffs so the intensity was thick. MJ cut
through it all with ridiculous baskets all night
long. Having one of his 'super-zone' games where
hitting 70-80% was the norm, MJ went 17-23 with
his athletic bag of one-handed, double-pump
jumpers, contorted shots, slashing drives, dunks
and fades. MJ's incredible ability to hit
difficult shots more consistently than most
players hit open shots was beyond comprehension.
But again, it was the clutch defensive play that
destroyed NY's chances of winning the game. It was
the substance behind his style that always sealed
the victory. Before becoming the greatest ever, MJ
was the most exciting ever and Madison Square
Garden never let us down.
(The famous alley-oop on Mark Jackson's head
happens here).
