In the '88 1st Rd MJ Avgd 45/5/5.5/2.8SPG 56%FG In this '89 1st Rd MJ Avgd 40/6/8/3SPG 52%FG 2 of the greatest performances in a playoff series EVER, both vs Clev.
This is the moment it really started for Jordan. To this point, everyone knew he was incredibly talented, unbelievable scorer, fierce defensive player, and overall performer, but he hadn't won a playoff series yet. Not only did he play great, but it finally led to a playoff series win over a team they were not supposed to beat. In the late 80's, Cleveland was the team people were saying would be the team of the 90's, not Chicago.
He won a playoff series the year before in ‘88 vs this same Cavs team. 3-2 ( game 5 was @Chicago Stadium). MJ scored 226 total points including back to back 50/55 point games (Games 1 & 2)
Yes, my bad. That is correct. In '88 he had the absurd back to back 50 point playoff games vs Cleveland and led the Dan Corzine Bulls to a playoff series victory 👍🏼
Notice, he scoree 44 out of 101 points. In todays NBA, easily the equivalent of a 60 point game, in a clutch playoff game. He dominated other teams like no other player after him, just way above everybodys level at the time.
Agree. Ehlo had a very good game and actually came through in the money time with two HUGE baskets. And nobody remembers it. Funny how life works sometimes.......
If there are any LeBron fans watching this video. This was Pippens rookie year and where are the highlights of him helping J. He was a non factor the entire series.
Be aware of MJ this guy was so scary when the game is on the line move on the next team Cleveland came up short and choked Chicago bulls all time basketball team wreaking with all the way to NBA finals 1989 on CBS Network enjoy myself watching edge of my seat three seconds on the clock mj deilver stunned whole crowd in Cleveland there's no turning back always said don't mess with MJ once he starts to go off that's in that's that end of series give Cleveland credit unfortunate they fall little short

The Shot
mj from 88 to 93 was the best player ever, no one comes close
I would go as far as to say more or so 86-93 but thats just my opinion
Shaq from 2000/2002 especially in the finals
@joapedrosilva. How about from 98-98.
@@coreyortiz9913 How about from 95-98.
Ron Harper a true hooper from Dayton Ohio, sucks he left Cleveland and went to the bulls but got some rings
he didn't leave Cleveland to go the bulls he was a clipper before he even went to Chicago
🗣️HARP WAS TRADED FROM THE CAVS TO CLIPPERS ON SOME ISH .>🎤 😡🗑️🤾

Great pick-up for the Bulls for that second run. Great contributor and great role player on a team that had a lot of big personalities
It never sucks to leave Cleveland.
Craig Ehlo had his greatest game of his career to bad Jordan ruined it
Agree. Ehlo would have been the hero of the game and perhaps this would have been his legacy, if not for Jordan.
Agree. Ehlo had a very good game and actually came through in the money time with two HUGE baskets. And nobody remembers it. Funny how life works sometimes.......
Jordan didn't ruin anything he did his job
33:16 Somehow "Danger Zone" seems like a fitting song to be playing over the speakers in a tight game with a few seconds left.
That was crazy, how they used to play playoff games on back to back days. Games 3 & 4 Knicks @ Bulls set for Sat & Sun.
Good looking out for this….
Jordan deserve a statue in Cleveland!
Cleveland wouldn't stop jordan, jordan always beat them.
I was 16 years old going to murrow high school in Brooklyn when this occurred.
Wow, first time seeing this. So, up 1 Nance takes a 20 ft jumper with 22 seconds with guys like Price, Ehlo, and BD as options?!
Every time a Cavs player shoots at the line, the Bulls bench warmers will throw the towel at each other just to distract the opponent, lol 😆 😂 🤣
Awesome game!
Pippen really beefed up from where he’s at now
11:06: I'm surprised that wasn't argued a little more, because the way I saw that, that was an offensive foul (charging) all the way.
Sweet 👍🏽
