Michael Jordan vs Glenn Robinson / Ray Allen - 44 points, puts on a show (Jan 2, 1998)

The first game in the New Year between Milwaukee (14-15) and Chicago (20-10) was one of those "fun games" with lots of crowd-pleasing moments.

Michael Jordan and Glenn "Big Dawg" Robinson were on fire for the whole game, both scored 44 points apiece (Jordan 15-22, Robinson 18-30 from the field) and made a lot of great plays.

Jordan in particular was phenomenal. He brought his vintage game - fadeaways, alley-oops, reverse layups, coast-to-coast plays - you name it. He had the fans on their feet all game long with his spectacular play, only a month before his 35th birthday.

His teammates were also great, especially Longley and Rodman. Luc had almost a triple double (24 pts, 9 rbs, 8 ast) while Rodman stole the show in the last minutes. Not with his rebounding or defense, although he had 21 rebounds in this game. "The Menace" went crazy on 3-pointers.
"Taco-Dennis" hit a couple of threes, rolled the score up to 114-100 and in doing so gave the jubilant crowd a round of free tacos.

Dennis should go to the hall of fame

and have his jersey retired by the bulls>

What do ya'll think?

The Worm belongs in the HOF, no doubt about that.

I'm not sure about the jersey, though. I don't think that there will be another Bulls player who wants his number anyway.

Wow MJ destroyed the bucks. That's crazy. And the bulls were still without Scottie Pippen with his injury. Dennis does belong in the HOF. Best pound for pound rebounder ever.

@MAGIC32vsKOBE24

I agree with your opinion.

He had worked for bulls for three years and kept the rebounding titles, too !

If it had not been for his great job, bulls could not have won the NBA championships three times!!

Jordan - 44 pts (15/22 FG, 1/1 3PT, 13/15 FT), Robinson - 44 pts (18/30 FG, 3/4 3PT, 5/6 FT). Ray-Ray - 11 on 4 of 12. It was one of only 5 Glenn's 40+ performances. He gave his best against the best team in the world. Great player.
