MVP Magic vs Young Jordan: Lakers @ Bulls 86/87

February 1987.
Michael Jordan is averaging 37 points in his 3rd NBA season (after playing only 18 games the previous year).

Still, the Bulls were a mediocre team. They had Oakley providing some strength down low (check out the 3 he hits though...!) and Pax was around. But no Pippen. No Grant. Just Mike. Paying his dues.

The Lakers? They were at their peak. Magic would get league MVP, and they would win the Championship this season and the next. They were a well oiled machine and knew how to take care of business.

Lets see what happens!

@KingRam33 For the most part, yea, but he at the same time he was NEVER a great 3 point shooter. He was capable, but never great from long range.

fuck you magic

[McButtster]

Magic was better when he was young, then he got worse. Jordan got better as he got older.
