Regular season game they would call this a travel. Finals game in this era, let him take the train.

This was called an offensive foul, today you can truck a defender over, think about that when you compare eras & no matter the era, NBA refs suck!

This game, Chamberlain had 22pts against his former Warriors team, through multiple severe facial injuries. He was hit in his face during some point in the game as well. (@halftime_content IG)

Charles Barkley wanted MJ’s shoes, Michael Jordan offered him 45… as in points. Trash talk turned prophecy when Jordan dropped 40 the next night. Classic MJ: petty, poetic, and perfectly timed.

Pacers: 32 bench points, Bulls: 0 bench points. •Pippen + Kukoc combined for 32 points and played strong defense. •MJ dropped 35 points and held Reggie to just 28% shooting. •Bulls win on the road. •Clutch deflection and free throws sealed it late from you know who.

Elbows to the back of the head, neck , nose & clipped mid-air — they tried to hurt MJ. When Bron stans say he wasn’t fouled hard, send them my way. They won’t show up tho… I got too much footage. I’ll shatter their whole narrative.

“We need to check MJ’s DPOY games for stat padding.’ Oh really? Let’s check LeBron’s too — man got credited with an assist & reb without even touching the ball. Game 4 vs Bulls. Had triple double this game… But did he?? OPEN THE VAULT!!

Michael Jordan avg'd 33.6-37.1 ppg over a 4 year period while missing 1 game. That is GOAT like.

11 Former NBA players mid 40s up to 58 yrs old going full speed, denying passes, running the floor in an Old Timers game—some retired 20 yrs prior. Meanwhile, we can’t get in-season All-Stars to go hard for even 1 game. 🤷🏽♂️ This is why I will never disrespect generations prior.

Double teams were “supposed” to be for post touches—no traps at half court, right? Tell that to the ’87 teams who didn’t get the memo… Same year MJ averaged his most PPG. And 93 Finals? Highest PPG ever.

Posting this for personal reference Up to 2018, Durant and Leonard have the 2 highest career FG% of perimeter players in NBA Finals (minimum 15 PPG) only behind Shaq and Wilt, with all games against Lebrons defense. They also shot over 40% 3PT against lebron in the Finals.

Fun Fact: Of the top 20 all-time scorers, MJ faced half. Top rebounders? He played against more than half. Top assist leaders? More than half, again. Top steal leaders? MJ went up against 14 of 20. Top rim protectors? 17 of 20. But yeah… “he played against plumbers,” right?
