Always wanted to see this game, since you see highlights of it on various mixes. '92 MJ was a thing of beauty post-AS break, with knee-tendinitis and weight issues now being behind him. His games from February till the end of the 1st round of the playoffs are pretty much the perfect blend of skill, athleticism and bball IQ(he further perfected his movement in the triangle). The version of him I enjoy watching most. Would love to see Bulls@T-Wolves from same season, because I know you have it.
At 9:21 it looked like MJ either took off too far or didn't quite jump as high as he would've liked. Nonetheless it still looked spectacular! I feel that MJ somewhat began a "decline" in the 91-92 season from the real "showtime" breakaway slams perspective that we were so used to enjoying prior to this season. He missed a breakaway earlier that season vs the Lakers in December and he never again attempted a reverse two handed jam on the break... those days were behind him. His previous reverse jam was at Atlanta in March of 91. Injuries and the stress of the playoffs in those years began to take it's toll of course..(but don't forget about his "turn back the clock" reverse slam he did in April of '96 at Miami though).

Excellent comment but Mike never had "weight issues" during this season....
Great upload. Thx 4 sharing. Unbelievable...every shown possession was a highlight.
Wow. I barely remember the era before the Magic had Nick Anderson, Dennis Scott, Shaq, Penny, Tree Rollins, etc. Seems like it was so long ago.
Great play at 6:37, probing the defense, then the explosion on the hesitation dribble and great lefty finish over the defender.
jordanlover23 6:37
Who else noticed at 2:15 & 2:30 they used the same pic for 2 different players. Apparently that network thought all Bros looked alike.
That's Sam Vincent's pic they used for both.

Thanks! :)
Ok you got it !
no problem.
Jordan didn't feel the need to really make a statement this game. Kinda just cruised in 2nd or 3rd gear for the W.
What weight issues are you referring to?
Just wanna see it, that's all.
haha how badly do you wanna see the wolves game ?
