Michael Jordan 1991 Finals: Gm 3 Vs. LA Lakers, 29pts.

After a rare, clutch miss in Game 1, MJ would redeem himself here to bring Game 3 into OT. The stunning shot over Divac's outstretched arms dropped even with MJ unable to follow through due to Divac's length. But it was MJ's clutch defense that truly saved the win - coming up with the crucial strip to prevent LA from taking a clean, game-winner to make sure OT would happen. As usual, making these types of clutch shots and defensive plays in these moments were the norm for MJ so it came as no surprise. And although this game would become the poorest shooting game of the series for MJ at just 11-28, the shots that mattered most in the end all hit nothing but net. Battling tendinitis in his legs, a Laker team at home ready to protect the fort and a twisted knee from the Pistons series, MJ still took it to the hole in the clutch to live up to his flair for the spectacular.

(The rest of this series is uploaded in succession except Game 2 which was uploaded last year. You can find it here www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBseRlgoSLc
For the record, MJ would end the series with some preposterous numbers: 31.2ppg, 6.6 rebs, 11.4 assists, 2.8 steals, 1.4 blocks, 56.64% FG, 50% 3FG and 85% FT).

Jordan was and will always be the best players ever.

He is a true champion that refused to lose, i loved nba action back then. it's starting to get a little better now, but it was a big fall off when mj first retired.

Lol who the hell is comparing Kobe to MJ. You're smoking some serious crack, lsd, angel dust, acid, cheese, and some other shit not from this planet.

@brian2553 God would avg infinite ppg shooting 59999%. Jordan only makes at least 50% of his shots. You probably have to dub Jordan down beast.

Most people think God is white and has a white beard. But he's the complete opposite. He's dark skin and bald.

I'm glad the los angeles fans cheered for Michael Jordan because they know what good basketball is.
