Bird scores 60 on Atlanta


Huh...that was actually in 1984/85 season when Atlanta played a string of games in New Orleans as home games for some reason.

You had that game where Bird went insane, and then several weeks later you had Chicago come to town and Jordan as a rookie and Wilkins went nuts. Thankfully I had talked my dad into taking me to that game! Awesome...

I was at that game too.

Nique had, I believe, 52 points and 28 boards.

Celtics pulled away in the 4th though.

I remember Bird was going to auction off his shoes, jersey, autographed ball from the game, but did said he was not giving away anything since that was his career high score at the time.

I think it ended up staying that way.

Atlanta couldn't put asses in the seats and New Orleans paid them a lot of money to play some games since the Jazz were gone.
