History tends to forget this game merely because in Game 2, MJ scored 63. But this game had MJ attacking the basket more since in Game 2, the Celtics tried to close the driving lanes. It didn't matter, MJ dominated with an inside or outside game even after a 64 game layoff with a broken foot. After this game, Bird said they'd never let him scored 49 again. He was right - he got 63 next. These were the Celtics that won the Championship that year. MJ showed the world what he was capable of against the greatest team in just his 2nd year. Young MJ filled up the highlight reel every game.
Why cant I find the fucken 1986 finals.

@ECWnWWF no shiht... Celtics team were at their prime and Jordan's teams were young. Jordan's 90's bulls teams would wipe the floor with Bird's team.

I know i'm going to get alot of slack and hate about this one but Jordan was around 22 years of age during this era and Rose reminds me so much of Jordan it's kind of eerie. The only difference is Jordan is 6'6 and Rose is 6'3 and they play different positions but in terms of speed, athleticism, body control, explosiveness and reflexes Rose is the closest i've ever seen to Jordan. jordan just had those HUGE hands which like Dr.J allowed him to hang in the air.
