The greatness of Michael Jordan and what are his three strongest games

.

If you watch basketball, Michael Jordan is probably one of the reasons why. If you don't watch basketball, you surely know who the legendary 6-time National Basketball Association champion is. "MJ" was selected as the most valuable player in the NBA Finals 6 times, made 14 appearances in the All-Star Game in the strongest basketball league in the world, and finished the season as the leading scorer in the championship 10 times. Jordan's accomplishments can be talked about for days, but his impact on the game cannot be described. The Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards star has a godly reputation, and there's definitely a reason why. He has hundreds of brilliant performances on the floor. But have you ever wondered what his three strongest fights are?

In 1989, the Chicago Bulls were still not dominant in the league. The team enters the first round of the playoffs in a matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers as an underdog. Not least because the Ohio State basketball players finish the regular season in 3rd place in the Eastern Conference, while the Bulls are 6th. Before the 5th game, the series is tied at 2:2 wins. At that time, progression is decided in 5 games. In the last seconds, the team from Cleveland leads with 100:99. Jordan gets the ball and the development of the entire NBA season depends on him. Michael dribbles, then shoots and scores to send his team ahead. The star finished the game with 44 points on 17 shooting from 32 attempts. His team advanced to the next round of the playoffs, falling to the Detroit Pistons in the Eastern Conference finals.

Three years earlier, Chicago once again found itself in a tough first-round playoff battle. This time the opponent is the Boston Celtics. Jordan enters his second season as the top rookie, but suffers a severe leg injury. The Airman missed 64 games of the regular season and returned for the last 15 games of it. This proved to be key for him to regain his playing rhythm. The Bulls face one of the strongest Celtics teams in the storied history of the organization with a 67-15 regular season record. The home balance of the "greens" is 40:1. With Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Robert Parrish, Bill Walton and Dennis Johnson in the cast. In Game 2 of the series, Jordan scored a playoff-high 63 points on 22 field goals and 19 from the penalty line. MJ gets to his incredible asset without a single three-pointer attempted. The Bulls lost the game and the series, but this performance by Michael goes down in history.

In 1998, Chicago was a completely different team. A team from which only victories are expected. The Illinois squad now has 5 titles and is chasing a 6th. Opponent in the finals is the Utah Jazz. At age 35, Mike is playing in his 331st straight NBA game since 1995. In the playoffs, he averaged 41.5 minutes per game and looked like a robot with no limit to his energy. The "Bulls" lead with 3:2 victories and have no intention of playing a decisive 7th match. Scottie Pippen has back problems and that increases the pressure on Jordan. John Stockton scores a three-pointer with 40 seconds left and the Jazzmen lead by 3 points. Michael makes a quick basket to close the gap to a point. Seconds later he steals the ball from Karl Malone and gives his team a chance to win. "MJ" receives a ball and feints Bryan Russell, who falls to the ground. Moments later, Jordan shoots and scores the winning basket. Chicago's sixth NBA title and Michael's sixth Finals MVP award. This turned out to be the last basket of the Chicago Bulls legend.
