Cleveland vs. Chicago: 1992 ECF Game 1 and 5.

Look no further than MJ as to why those great Cleveland teams of the late 80's and early 90's could never make it to the NBA Finals despite having more talent. This video basically features short highlights of MJ's strong outings in Game 1 and 5.

This was a weird 6 game series. With the exception of Game 6 none of the previous 5 meetings were close come late 4th qtr. Neither team during the series ever played well on the same night.

I know MJ had an incredible post-up game his entire career, but it seemed that he really utilized it in the '92 playoffs.

[SPMJ]

True, and especially against the Knicks in the ECS when it had become almost impossible to penetrate against their constant double teaming and trapping on the perimeter. Of course, given his post skills MJ wasn't really losing much when he did stop shootng a lot of jumpers or driving inside. I laugh at those who think MJ developed the fadeaway and his post skills during his first comeback. I'd say he was the best post up guard the league had ever seen by 1990 itself.

great upload. Your right that was a weird series. I remember Chicago getting blown out in games 2,4 and Cleveland getting blown out in games 1,3,5 . Game 6 was the best game by far of that series. I wish you would have posted the fight between Stacey King, Danny Ferry and Steve Kerr when he was w. the Cavs

[SPMJ]

What game did the fight take place? I also have Game 6 of the series.

[jaboo82681]

towards the end of the game 5 blowout. Danny Ferry was going a a layup and Stacey King closelined him, and Steve Kerr (who was a Cavalier at the time) got in his face and was ready to go at it with King

[SPMJ]

O yeah I remember that when I last saw this game in its entirety. That was nice payback from King after the cheapshot Ferry threw at MJ in the previous game. The scrubs like King and Levingston always had MJ's back :D

i think jordan was a smarter and better player in 95-98 season i loved his fadeaway he could not be stopped, as a matter of fact jordan couldnt be stopped in any era

[dogeban]

When MJ wanted to go inside,not even the Knicks' defence could stop him.Remember game 7 1992 playoff series??He penetrated again and again no matter what they tried.It is a shame he played a bit different when he came back in 1995.He was much more impressive before his first retirement...but still a joy to watch,more than anyone else who played the game of basketball.

man the cavs shld of kept those uniforms

[sicstyl]

This isn't 'Cavs vs. Bulls'.. This is nothing but Bulls highlights. Come on.

The poster was right about this series. The series was 3-2 after five games, but the margins of the games were 14, 26, 9, 14, and 23 points.

U R forgeting something. MJ's 1st 3-peat also had 1992 Barcelona Olympics dream team packed into it. MJ absolutely had no break. that '93 season, I never saw MJ so bored, extreme fatigued & all that. Its almost like he just wanted to go straight into playoffs after '92 olympics. MJ should have skipped it & taken a long extended break. who knows MJ probably wouldn't have retired.

I love this game...lol

[roncarl9]

4:13 yeah that was kinda dirty LOL

[Bandy500]

It's not a fucking tea party you dipshit! He's not trying to make friends, he's trying to win and humiliate and that's exactly what he did.
