Micheal Jordan "Best Basketball Game of All Time"

1992 Monte Carlo - Dream Team Scrimmage

Michael Jordan's team: Scottie Pippen, Larry Bird, Karl Malone and Patrick Ewing

Magic Johnson's team: Christian Laettner, Chris Mullin, Charles Barkley and David Robinson

Johnson's team ran up a 14-2 score early, Johnson started trash talking Jordan. NYT's quote was "told Jordan that he had better "get into his show" or the outcome of the scrimmage would soon no longer be in doubt", but I have a feeling it wasn't exactly said like that.

Jordan's team came back and won 40-36, reported that it was rather close towards the end. Jordan hitting 2 free throws with 1.5 seconds left.

The NYT also says that the media was let in towards the very end

"As for the notion that Johnson, Jordan and the rest were playing to the news media, who were allowed into the gym for the last few minutes, it was quite the contrary. According to the sidelined John Stockton and Clyde Drexler, they said the trash had earlier been flying even more. "

@jerjerjason Not Drexler. Do you have any idea how great a player Drexler was?

[DAPDave]

@Lampheader lol. Exactly what I was going to say.

Kobe was 14 at the time. Give it up, guys, you don't have to drag the argument in ever effing basketball video.

@jerjerjason Sure, he could replace those two, but with Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson as the guards on the team, he wouldn't start. Laettner was a token pick because he was the best college player at the time. Drexler was awesome, but not better than Kobe.

@VinmanMJ23 you dont think kobe could have replaced laetnner or drexler easily?

[VinmanMJ23]

@thebruceblitzchennel LoL. Kobe wouldn't have even started on that team.
