Michael Jordan's legendary "double nickel" performance against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden on March 28, 1995, still holds up 25 years later. It's easy to remember the 55-point outburst just five games into the superstar's return to the NBA. Jordan, wearing No. 45, broke the record he previously set for most points by an opposing player at MSG. (Sporting News)
