Young Michael Jordan Forced To Score Almost Every Play Because Bulls Were AWFUL | The TurriBulls

Sometimes Michael Jordan dominated to prove a point, and the rest of the time it was because his teammates couldn't score consistently, so Michael had to pick up the slack for everyone. Jordan scored because it was necessary to win. In this contest against Barkley & the Sixers, everything the Bulls attempted to run, just wouldn't work (for anyone else), so Jordan was forced to be aggressive. It just so happened to be Dr. J night, the torch was officially passed, and Michael Jordan would absolutely obliterate Charles Barkley in the process, while both were in MVP discussions. Michael put on another 2-way performance the likes of which nobody had seen before, or since. There isn't film that exists of another player putting on this level of a performance. MJ is the best player ever. Period.

Michael scored 56 of the Bulls 93 points which was a historic performance.

Michael scored 60.2% of the Bulls team points in the game, and for context...

Kobe Bryant's 81 point game he scored 66.4% of the Lakers points (81 of 122)
Wilt Chamberlain's 100 point game he scored 59.1% of the Warriors points (100 of 169)

So Michael Jordan scored a higher percentage of his team's points, in this game, than Wilt Chamberlain did in his 100 point game. AND Michael Jordan played the type of disruptive defense that would exhaust the best of the best from any branch of the military.
