In the mid-eighties, MJ dropped 40+ one night and 60+ another night versus the Celtics. When questioned by the media and told that MJ was on pace to score 80+ the next night, Larry Bird said he would do something if MJ scores that much. I can’t remember the exact quote and would LOVE if someone could give me a hand.
I know Larry Bird said that Jordan was “God disguised as Michael Jordan.”
That was during the ’86 playoffs after Jordan dropped 63 on Boston.
Larry Bird jokingly said that “That was God disguised as Michael Jordan” after the Celtics let Jordan score 63 points in a double overtime Chicago loss.
The next game, in Chicago, Jordan was held to only 19 points ( 5 in the final 3 quarters ) as the Bulls were swept.
During Jordan’s 2nd year(after rookie) in the first round of the ’86 playoffs after Jordan scored 63 points on the Celtics Larry Bird said, ” I think it’s God disguised as Michael Jordan”. Also Magic Johnson once said, “There’s Michael Jordan then there’s the rest of us”. Just go to NBA.com and type in best playoff moments and you can read what Larry Bird said. But the Bulls were swept.
Hoped I helped, Peace.
Bird said ” youre in my world now “
