Bulls vs. Heat - 1992 Playoffs Game 2

- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2024
- April 26, 1992
1992 Heat was no match for Jordan and the Bulls, so MJ looks for ways to have some fun. Schools Glen Rice, Grant Long and others, jokes with Steve Smith and even demonstrates the Ali shuffle. This is a great game to show how he can switch between different modes at will.
After his 46/11/9 Game 1 performance, MJ wants to involve the others on the offensive end and dominate the game with his rebounding and passing. After a half in which he takes limited shots he has 17pts/8rbs/5asts/3stls.
In the 3rd quarter he switches to the scoring mode and pours 14 points to make it a ~30 point Bulls lead at the end of 3rd. Plays only about a minute in the 4th, takes just one shot, then sits down to watch the reserves.
Finishes with 33pts(12-23)/13rbs/6asts/3stls. I guess not bad for a playoff game in almost 3 quarters of play.
Pippen has a great first half in this game too. This is also Magic's first experience as an announcer.

Post game notes & quotes:
===========================
CHICAGO - Michael Jordan's determination doesn't fade even in the face of what should be an easy opening round playoff opponent.
"I never get bored. I'm enjoying myself," said Jordan, who continued his playoff rampage with 33 points and 13 rebounds as the Chicago Bulls left the Miami Heat within a loss of elimination from their first postseason with a 120-90 victory Sunday.
Jordan, who scored 46 points in the Chicago's Game 1 victory Friday night, was backed Sunday by Scottie Pippen's 30 points. The defending NBA champions can oust the Heat, the only of the league's most recent expansion teams ever to qualify for the playoffs, with a victory Wednesday night at Miami.
The Bulls' 10 first-half steals also represented a franchise playoff record. The Heat scored 41 points in the first half, 12 fewer than it scored in the first two quarters Friday. Jordan and Pippen combined for 37 points by halftime.
"Pippen was sensational, and Michael, well, you can say the same things about him all the time," Heat coach Kevin Loughery said. "Just put the quotes on the board. He's the greatest player in the world."
Loughery said Jordan and Pippen are the best tandem in the NBA.
"Me and Jordan would be, too," Loughery joked. "Not to take anything away from Pippen because he's a great player. I can't think of a better combination."
Together, they put the early pressure on the Heat offensively and defensively, and it never was much of a game.
"We pretty much settled down from Friday's game," Jordan said. "This was the kind of effort we needed from everybody. We wanted to dominate, that's what you have to do in the playoffs."
Every Bulls player scored. Stacey King, the only member of the Bulls who didn't play in Game 1, got just seven minutes but was the team's third-leading scorer with 12 points, including a three-pointer that ended the game.
Cliff Levingston added 11 points off the bench on 5-of-7 shooting.
Heat players sounded flattered the Bulls took them seriously enough to send their very best.
"They showed us respect by coming out and playing strong from the start," Seikaly said. "I'm not embarrassed, but the Bulls definitely came out and showed us what the playoffs are all about."
And what the Bulls are all about.
"Everybody was pretty much energized to play them today," Jordan said. "Horace and Scottie were very emotional before the game. They said: `Let's go out and blow these guys out. Let's go out and show these guys we're the champions.' "

i like that shuffle.
The GOAT
Idk what it was like to watch Babe Ruth in his prime. But GotDam this has to be close to it. Good lawd this man was such an amazing Athlete/Basketball player/Talent!!!
One coach said, "I use to call Michael Jordan, "The Babe Ruth of Basketball" but now I have come to realize that Babe Ruth is the "Michael Jordan of Baseball".
@@Wis_Dom Jerry Reinsdorf, the bulls owner, said that about Jordan after he retired in 1993.
@@purplemonkeydishwasher4241 Yeah, dude. I know, this is a 3 year old comment.🙄
MJ, one of only 3 athletes who were literally bigger than the sports they played. The other 2 were Babe Ruth and Mohamed Ali..
haha that Ali shuffle is nasty
That dunk in the first 10 seconds in the preview is one of my favourite ever :) Man ur psychic. The Heat were just waitin for the crush to happen. And the Bulls cruised through the series. Too easy
@farhannius you're the one whose bringing it up. now people will comment and compare the two. this is how these huge debates happen on RUclips.
3:06! wow that is a nasty dunk by Pippen.
playoffs is really what sets jordan apart from everybody else.
players has to be evaluated in playoffs...and air jordan is just above and beyond everybody..
The GOAT and real 23.
Sweet! Thank you for this. You've been on a roll lately Starks23!
Nice intro starks! Thanks!
yea man i totally agree with you rrtale. that dunk is just...like he is flying.
cliff levingston coaches the national team here in qatar! i think he's an assistant coach or somin! man u can see how basketball in the usa is huge! a guy like levingston is an average guy back there but here, u see em comin from the nba and stuff, so he gets all the credit! i wonder if MJ came down here, who knows, he might rule the country! :p
I love the way the critics always tried to act like the other team could beat the Bulls. I think that Jordan was fueled by all of the criticism from the press.
You almost need to stop, or you're not going to leave Hoops with enough. Haha. Good on you, though - you're leaving us with great stuff mate.
Magic johnson has got to be the worst commentator ever after the robot Jalen Rose.LOL
