The best moments in NBA Finals history: Michael Jordan's shrug game

Posted Jun 3, 2015
It was Game 1 of the 1992 NBA Finals and the Chicago Bulls were taking on the Portland Trail Blazers. The series was being pitted as a rivalry between Clyde Drexler and Michael Jordan, with some reporters daring to suggest that Drexler had caught up to Jordan in the best-player-alive debate. Fueled by this, Jordan went and dropped 39 points in the game, including six 3-pointers in the first half. (USA Today)
