MJ's 1st 50+pt game is this Legendary Game. It's still the playoff record and is ranked 3rd in the book "Michael Jordan's Top 50 Games".
NBA Sophomore MJ was just 23 years old but he would show the world in just his 6th playoff game that there would never be another player like him again.
This Celtics team was considered perhaps the greatest team ever. Having won 67 games, 40-1 at home, 31 straight at home and on a 14 win streak, MJ single-handedly almost dismantled them. After scoring 49 points in Game 1 (which I also have up on youtube), McHale said, "That will never happen again." The Celtics went back and brainstormed to stop MJ and came back to hold MJ to 63. At times, putting 4-5 bodies on Jordan, Jordan was well, still Jordan.
MJ missed 64 games in the regular season with a broken foot and returned just 6 weeks earlier but in this game, the legend of Michael Jordan was born. Scoring on vicious attacks, athletic jumpers from everywhere and finesse and power moves all at once, MJ displayed an intensity to win and take the entire Boston Team all by himself. It was chilling to watch.
Scaring the guts out of the Champion Celtics in their unbeatable home court, MJ played a game that still stands as the greatest post-season record of all-time with 63 points. The only quote you need to remember is Bird saying, "That was God disguised as Michael Jordan. He's the most awesome player I've ever seen...he was getting his points in the flow of the game...scary." Celtics coach KC Jones added, "I was watching and all I could see was this giant Jordan and everyone else was just in the background."

no matter how many times i watch this, it's still fucking unbelievable. jordan didn't put up huge numbers against just any teams (well he did whether they were good or bad) but the demonic celtics of the mid-80s
you could tell from day one how clutch MJ was...those HUGE free throws to send it into overtime. insanity
but they went to woolrich at the end? WTF? get that shit to MJ
interesting to see that most players were not in great shape at the time some of them were even fat players.. they played more with passion.. today if you're beefed up you're in.
