Michael Jordan 1988: 47pts Vs. NY Knicks, Stomach Virus

Back


There was another "Flu" game before the famous Utah game and it happened here. This version of MJ was too athletic to care about his illness. Sitting out the whole day sick, MJ came to NYC with a vengeance. The season was almost over and NY was fighting to get the 7th seed in the playoffs so the intensity was thick. MJ cut through it all with ridiculous baskets all night long. Having one of his 'super-zone' games where hitting 70-80% was the norm, MJ went 17-23 with his athletic bag of one-handed, double-pump jumpers, contorted shots, slashing drives, dunks and fades. MJ's incredible ability to hit difficult shots more consistently than most players hit open shots was beyond comprehension. But again, it was the clutch defensive play that destroyed NY's chances of winning the game. It was the substance behind his style that always sealed the victory. Before becoming the greatest ever, MJ was the most exciting ever and Madison Square Garden never let us down. (The famous alley-oop on Mark Jackson's head happens here).
