Michael Jordan scores 63 points vs. Celtics (April 20, 1986)

[MIGBruce2014]

now if kobe scored 81 in a playoff game against a good team than maybe there would be an argument

[MIGBruce2014]

i wouldve been surprised of kobe scored 18 vs the celtics

[2414kels]

I dnt care what anybody says 63pts. In any era is dam good and even tho they lost what a show!

[RacerNight86]

Jordan is Out of his Mind... It's like a Angel is playin in him..

[TJCARTIER1]

the bulls couldve won this game but the 3pt foul was only 2 ft's back then

[dball1324]

yeah well i put up 85 and won by 15 in 2k11...if only he played a full season..

[kadees21]

The Celtics still won that game, but for MJ to still set a playoff record against a team of that magnitude is just simply ..... oh wait I can't find the word!

[jeffnmj]

Jordan scored 63 in 58 minutes.

PPG allowed by Boston in 1985-86: 104.7

League-wide PPG in 1985-86: 110

Final score: 135 - 131 (Celtics win)

Kobe scored 81 in 48 minutes.

PPG allowed by Toronto in 2005-06: 104.0

League-wide PPG in 2005-06: 97.0

Final Score: 122-104 (Lakers win)

Kobe's 81 is better

[carylawson18]

@jeffnmj The Raptors were one of the worst teams of all time. The 85 Celtic were one of the best teams of all time. Jordan is better.

[ILLINI4LIFE1]

@jeffnmj jordans 63 points in 53 minutes.

against the celtics on the road when the celtics were 40-1 at home that year, the best of all time, and mj missed most of the season with an injury and this was only his second year in the league. oh and it was a playoff game

kobes 81 points in 48 minutes

against the TORONTO RAPTORS in a meaningless regular season game

mjs was 5 times better

[TommyTonic10]

@ILLINI4LIFE1 I agree with Jeffnmj. You can bold TORONTO RAPTORS as much as you like but fact is points are harder to come by in this slow paced era. Its harder to score vs the set. That's why even the Raptors only allowed 104 points a game while your might Celtics allowed 104.7. As far as meaningful, well scoring any 63 points in a loss is pretty meaningless tbh, Jordan will tell you the same thing. Kobes 81 > Jordans 63.

[ZioticX]

@jeffnmj wilt scored 100 in a game

[suckajuice]

Did he say April 10th???

[dpistons149]

Jordan took a shit on the celtics

[420ELPADRINO]

He said april 10?

[JohnnyMarr03]

The Bulls lost but it was a very high scoring game and both teams could have won it, it was a team effort from the Bulls, Sidney Green played very well and Corzine and Paxson, it wasn't only Jordan at all, people base these assumptions without having actually watched the full game which went to double overtime.

[RALMAR9]

now thats a good game!

[polarbearjew]

who won the game?

[GGGameGeek102]

@polarbearjew it said it at the end 135 to 131 the Celtics won

[polarbearjew]

@GGGameGeek102 I know. shame on Jordan for losing the game after scoring that many points. lol

[ruudboy543]

[shiterksu]

[robbinsillinois]

[polarbearjew]

[willsmackyoudown]

@polarbearjew

nah shit the 86 Celtics is the top 3 greatest teams of all time.

[estalling]

@robbinsillinois You sound surprised. Jordan was a mutant robot created to play basketball.

[joepescifromcasino]

[CyberianHusky74]
