So this is the time that Gerald Wilkins trash talk Michael Jordan and it went horribly wrong Cleveland was a great team. You had Mark. You had hot rod Williams Larry Nance You had Dordie who's arguably one of the better centers in the league at that time. They had a nice squad Obviously, I get asked about that a lot, you know bulls and I hate having to play the bulls every year And the thing was was I I love this We brought up your brother the other day when he was labeled the Jordan stopper Well, if it's May in Chicago It must mean that the bulls and calves are about set to go and yet another seven game playoff war All season long their whole main focus was to beat the bulls and playoffs because what we had meant to them in your past and You know the acquisition of Gerald Wilkins was both being kind of a final piece of the puzzle Cleveland in the offseason brought in Gerald Wilkins to be the Jordan stopper I felt bad for your brother because you knew that was gonna make Michael When you all you're the Jordan stopper, huh? You know has done a good job in the past, but they needed help so they went out and they got Gerald Wilkins to come in Go out and put the job on him to shut him out keep his numbers down You know what I called my brother when he said that and I said so I said, what are you doing? I said you don't want to wake up sleeping giant. Are you crazy? Jordan their offensive player As I say he has the ability to take over and he'll have spurts where he might score 15 points in a row for Chicago And this is one of those spurts Michael can and he'll take they'll take this off right on to the whole To follow Stacey King came in and played well off the bench for the right-hand side Lots of times guys trying to keep fresh legs on Michael Stopping Jordan is not a one-man job I want to prove to them that hey no matter what you do what changes you make I'm overcome that challenge Hey You know if you're a good defensive player you don't have to talk about it man Go inside Michael You don't want to get him riled up now. I think he ever like 40 in that series Yeah, whenever there was this guy's the next Jordan or this guy is the Jordan stopper I went this isn't gonna go well It's just it's not Three seconds Jordan There's no better environment than those hostile environments as an opponent You look for challenges you took to your Wilkins upon his word in the first Michael George stop ahead of time The series only drama would come in game for no tomorrow for the Cavaliers it's win or the season ended You take it to the hole with your left hand Very inspired basketball right now trying to accept the challenge and although Michael Jordan makes this jump shot No, we'll try to start taking things Responsibility that's a good good job right there. It's not allow Chicago to get back to his game You'll see him right here price gets around wanted to foul A moment of one into the fourth period I With time running down the Cavs would make one last stand to try to avoid a humiliating sweep Trailing by one with 18 seconds to go the Bulls sense that a familiar scene was unfolding I Was our go-to guy anytime in situations like that, you know, everybody in gym knows he's gonna get the ball He was the first option and the second option if possible My mind's off to think about all the other winning shots that I've made and Here we are in Cleveland again Same scenario in a sense. What's that stuff on the court? I had total confidence that I was gonna make the shot It's those superstar players except to the park that are able to put a team on its back or to hit that great shot That needs to be hit at the right time And as good as we were and I mean it wasn't like we were playing bad in those in those games and in those series I mean Chicago and Michael just were able to to always just take it up one more notch Five four Michael strip got it back three two Michael falls fire I've seen him do a lot of things but that what that one shot was just something incredible as a teammate As a player probably as a fan. It was a nice moment in you know in Bulls history Michael right over Wilkinson in his face and the Bulls have swept the Cleveland Cavaliers I got to give Joe Wilkinson credit, you know, he played a hell of a defensive play on me He made me take a tough shot, you know, I made the tough shot, you know, we won the last shot and fortunately it went down for him like time stop for a few minutes to let the ball just soar through the air and You know once it went in it was like Now we'll do the next round And I hope you guys enjoyed the video if you did Please help me out by hitting that like button all the likes go a long way to supporting the channel Be sure to hit that subscribe button if you did enjoy the video and here are two new Michael Jordan videos That I think that you should also check out if you enjoyed this one, too I will catch you guys in the next video tomorrow.
