the MJ hero worship on topics like the Cavs shot reminds me of the Lebatard/Stugotz clip.


Stugotz- "Well, Jordan scored 63 in a playoff game in Boston that they won!!!!"

Dan - "Um, They lost"

Stugotz - "They lost?? Really?"

I think the Bulls were swept as well.


The 63 points in Boston Garden was MJ's defining moment in the 80's. More so than that shot that over Ehlo ESPN plays over & over.

If you want to further blow your mind, that iconic shot, complete with Jordan's incredible celebration afterwards? Yeah that was never shown on the live broadcast or the replays. The original broadcast showed the Bulls coach running around in celebration, ironically beside Phil Jackson. The original broadcast footage is available on YouTube. People for years have sworn they remember seeing Jordan's celebration of pure ecstasy, it didn't happen. The ESPN view of the shot was after the fact.

Funny thing is I'm old enough to remember seeing that game live, although I was a kid, and for YEARS swore I could remember exactly where I was when that moment happened. Lol, memories are a funny thing I suppose.

With a team that had some talent and a future hall of Famer... Even if he was past his prime, he still gave quality minutes.

Name a player other than Oakley and maybe Polynice on those Bulls teams.

And that was LeBron's 4th or 5th year in the league? Compared to Jordan's 2nd or third year?

It's not an indictment on MJ for playing well and getting swept (or just getting beat) by better teams, but it shouldn't be an indictment on LeBron either.

You named 2.

LOL if you think 2 other player from that Cleveland team will be as memorable as the 2 you named 30 years from 30 years from the 2007 Finals.

Oh no doubt.

I'd have bet my life that Lebron's game winner against the Magic was about 3 feet from the left sideline. That shite was about as center cut above the key as you can get The shite was I thinking?

Not even that, I remember the camera angle being behind him. My memory of that shot wasn't even close.

LeBron was still only 22, even if it was his 4th year. Kobe played was terrible in his first finals, during his 5th season (shot 12/47 in final 2 games), yet they won.

In other words, young players struggle with consistency, and even though Kobe was only great in a couple finals, he has 5 championships.
