Michael Jordan 1990: 20 points vs Pistons (Game 2)

[utfanatic2000]

Bulls won the next two games with MJ going for 40+ each time.

Just noticed, look how fast the explosion and the ballhandling move is before MJ loses it at 1:59. You only see it for half a second as it develops before he loses the ball and stumbles, but you can see that it was explosive, and the ballhandling move (what I assume was going to be a behind the back or reverse between the legs dribble) was incredibly fast.

This is what made Michael Jordan THE BEST player. For all of his abilities. He never quit. The hustle at 2:02 after the ball was taken away from him. You rarely see that. Especially from a person who has an injury as like Jordan did.

Remember this game clearly. Dumars played a great game. He was a great player. Jordan was injured he couldn`t run or move smoothly like he did.

Detroit abused the weakened Jordan hampered by an hip injury. In game 1 detroit`s antics almost finished Jordan career

cant wait for game 3 !

Detroit was the better team. They had the champions edge over the young Bulls. The Pistons didn`t respect Pippen nor Grant nor Paxson. They only feared Jordan: Their Jordan rules almost finished Michael`s career that year. In 1990 Jordan was in the pinnacle of his abilities. With 27 years old Jordan was a unstoppable force. To this day, and despite Detroit`s superior team, i still think that Jordan could`ve upset the champions. Detroit with its intimadatory schemes injured Jordan in game 1

he could've only if his supporting cast would've stepped up!!!

If you look at the shooting numbers in game 7, it's quite depressing. Grant 3/17, Pippen 1/10, Armstrong 1/8, Hodges 3/13, Cartwright 3/9. Ouch.

And while everyone else was shooting bricks, Jordan was 13/27 with 9 assists.

[jordanlover23]

Not MJ's greatest offensive game, but lots of nice hustle plays and near-plays defensively. Look how he hits Grant with the pass the instant Horace opens up inside at 4:40 (MJ looked Aguirre away, which made Aguirre leave Grant to cover the perimeter, since he thought the pass was going outside to Pippen). I think Jordan was still bothered by the leg/hip injury he sustained on that takedown in game 1, because he wasn't moving as well this game.

[jaboo82681]

yeah he was still bothered, but I remember reading the book "The Jordan Rules" that at halftime of this game Jordan kicked chairs, almost broke the black board and he cursed out his teamates

[blast2blast]

That's right and I can respect that. I wouldn't like to be one of his teammates at that particular moment but that goes to show how bad MJ wanted it, and he wasn't gonna please anyone that wasn't giving his all. That's the dirty job of a true leader.
