Was Portland observing some sort of religious holiday this day? I've never heard it So quiet there. compared to the late '80s early '90s rip City crowd
No! They went up against each other in the Semifinals of the 1982 NCAA BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT in New Orleans. Carolina won that game to advance to the Championship game against the Hoyas of Georgetown anchored by Patrick Ewing. Carolina won that game as well.
+nonplayerzealot4 And they aren't shooting 30 three pointers a game like they do today. This is why the NBA was so much better back then. Guys were playing defense but the players shooting ability back then was just so much better. You got guys like Curry and the Warriors shooting lights out from three and they still can't hit these kinds of point totals...and it has NOTHING to do with the defense being better today.
More highlights in a game then most have in a career
unguardable
Goat!!
Steve "Snapper" Jones with the play by play!!
Look at the score!! I love how after a free throw they don't all slap hands
bad milk I love it too. Slapping hands after a free throw is annoying as hell!
Just a brand new shiny rocket on the launch pad beginning to rev up before liftoff into the stratosphere...
Greatest to ever do it
@jeditwinz He added muscle over the years, and continuously worked on all facets of his game including his shooting mechanics.
They didn't draft me and I've taken it personal ...
what he said at 1:55...that is what is missing for a lot of great individual players today.
Jordan and Drexler- The two hang gliders of the 80's.
There were more than two.
There was Dominique Wilkins, and _almost_ Len Bias (rip)
All through his basketball career M.J. Just twinkle toes his way to the hoop going baseline
bryce j fulton Robert Horry mentioned his feet the same way too
Back when both Jordan and Drexler had a full head of hair.
@jeditwinz Totally agree! His release was a bit more to the side of his head, here, instead of the classic MJ release.
Magic Michel Jordan,...👊👊👊👊👊👊❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀💪💪💪💪💪💪🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
0:53 what the?
Just a move Dr. J did once...
Jellyville
In which game?
@jeditwinz Yeah he did. He just changed to a higher release.
I wish they would have posted Sam Bowie's stats. He as looking pretty slow out there.
@jeditwinz In his earlier days I think he had a lower release point
@ulisessol7
Absolutely
Klay Thompson's dad at tipoff.😁✌🏾
@jeditwinz yeah I caught that too... guess he did change it, because in his later years he had a perfect shot form
made jim paxson look like he belongs in high school.
Made the LEAGUE look like they were in high school.
how many people did he think about that night, but why does he play in Chicago?
Jordan layup
Every Saga Has A Beginning......
PS: Frenziest crowd ever ?? :)

nonplayerzealot4 NPZ how have you been my man?!
I wonder if he got hazed
Ernesto Hendrix felt like it was the opposite in his case
the guy wearing the white #30 was drafted before him...
Jordan vs GOAT Sam Bowie. Lol.
😂😂😂
And they picked Sam Bowie instead of Jordan just a few months before this , LMFAO :)
This is when it probably really set in for the fans how big a mistake was made?
Balzers unluckiest draft 1984.
hahahahahah
Portland could choose jordan... but they chose Sam Bowie ...ja, ja ja
1:07 and people dare to compare mj to kobe, please mj = goat
The NbA owe this dude big time..
You could hear a needle drop in that joint.
I can remember listening to conference finals on the radio - because they weren't televised!
