In just the 4th game of the 1997 season, MJ turned it up on his old rival. The peaking Heat went huge that year with 61 wins. But, the Bulls were the champs coming off their record 72 win season and besides, MJ never let his guard down when Pat Riley was in town. Phil Jackson always clashed with Riley as the two were considered the best coaches so MJ had to back up you know who. MJ also loved to play against Alonzo. Riley would always say, the difference wasn’t the coaching, but #23. “Screw zen and all that, you have 23 and I don’t.” Shooting 55% in this 50 pt game (modest by MJ’s standards since he averaged 60.4% in his 39 games going 50+ in his career), the game was in absolute control by MJ’s mastery. The heat had no answer for his touches and shot creation. Hitting in-your-face fadeaways left and right, MJ, at age 33, looked like he hadn’t left from the first 3-peat. He also reminded us that the greatest player ever was also the greatest ever at making circus shots. But then again, did anyone forget in the first place?

/ August 26, 2010MJ was smart he got stayed slim but fit to make his game last longer but now NBA players like lebron and future players are making mistakes by getting bigger and stronger but there legs wont support them long and will reduce years for them in the NBA

/ August 26, 2010@KinnereyB Actually he only lost it once to Malone, because when Malone won it in 1999 (still a ridiculous win, by then he was the last one remaining from his generation, and there were others far more deserving by then) Jordan already retired a second time.

/ August 26, 2010Bill Walton said it best while commentating a Bulls game. He said “Michael should have won 10 MVP’s.”
Just to give some perspective – he lost the MVP to Malone twice and Barkley once. Ridiculous. Hands down the G.O.A.T. Man I miss watching him play.

/ August 26, 2010hoopsencyclopedia, is 5 10, American and could dunk easily. what do you mean white guys can’t jump? It’s all about the training people do to get their particular leg strength to be strong enough to dunk. However for me, I personally used the training workout over at “50inch vertical (dot) com”
