Michael Jordan's famous 'Shrug Game' had a pretty dark story behind it

Posted Jun 4, 2018
On June 3, 1992, Michael Jordan made six straight 3s in an NBA Finals game against the Portland Trail Blazers. After the sixth make, we got "the shrug," one of the most iconic moments in NBA history. As if the greatest basketball player ever needed it, Jordan had extra motivation to dominate the Blazers. Portland’s Clyde Drexler was considered one of Jordan’s rivals. (USA Today)
