Michael Jordan 1987: 56pts Vs. Barkley 76ers

An unbelievable game. MJ went 22-32 and did it with insane jumpers, insane drives, insane dunks, insane defense and insane fury. His offensive attack was so balanced but loaded with one spectacular move after another. There are enough jaw-dropping plays for 30 games here for any other player. With 6 steals, MJ's defense was on the same level as his offense - just ferocious the whole game. Barkley all but disappeared. Edited from what appears to be actual raw NBA baseline footage, the first half is basically a front row seat to MJ's domination. You feel the electric, mesmerizing athletic artistry up close in a way that is just different and you just can't take your eyes of MJ's incredible presence. The 2nd half goes back to the normal camera angle. Shot in film quality, this video has a surreal and magical feel. Of course, MJ's performance might have had something to do with that.

Sorry Jordanlover23, I have to agree with deyonce. The "D" was shite. The defender felt the screen, knew it was there but instead of going over the top he decided to tick the "waltz" off his dance card. In the end the center was smart to play off Jordan. Back then, they still hadn't come to respect Jordans long range jumpers.

His defender got hung up on a screen and the roll defender, a center, had to play waaaay off Jordan at the top of the key or else he would've been blown by. Nothing they could do there.
