Magic Johnson Jersey – Best Price!

1984 – 1985 Season During his first season in the NBA, Jordan averaged 28.2 ppg on 51.5% shooting. He quickly became a fan favorite even in opposing arenas, and appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated with the heading “A Star is Born” just over a month into his professional career. Jordan was also voted in as an All-Star starter by the fans in his rookie season. Controversy arose before the All-Star game when word surfaced that several veteran players, led by Isiah Thomas, were upset by the amount of attention Jordan was receiving. This led to a so called “freeze-out” on Jordan, where players refused to pass him the ball throughout the game. The controversy left Jordan relatively unaffected when he returned to regular season play, and he would go on to be voted Rookie of the Year. The Bulls finished the season 38–44, and lost in the first round of the playoffs in four games to the Milwaukee Bucks. en.wikipedia.org

During Game 5 of the 1980 NBA Finals Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (the league MVP) suffered an ankle injury. Although he would return to the game and lead the Lakers to victory he would not travel with the team to Philadelphia. Prior to Game 6 Magic Johnson learned that Larry Bird had been named Rookie of the Year which wasnt surprising since he the Celtics won 32 more games than they had the previous year. However when Magic found out that Bird won the voting 63-3 he used it as motivation for the upcoming game. They want to see who the top rookie is? Well, watch what I do in Game 6 against the Sixers. Starting at center in place of the ailing MVP the rookie went on to have the greatest performance in NBA history by scoring 42 points, pulling down 15 rebounds, dishing out 7 assists, ripping away 3 steals and blocking 1 shot.

A Jordan analysis by a couple of NBA greats and Kenny Smith. Is Jordan the greatest of all time? As someone who saw him play, not even at his prime, because I’m only 27, I have to say above and beyond Michael Jordan is the greatest of all time. Jordan was just a phenomenon. I love Kobe Bryant, but recently I’ve read the comments of a bunch of 14 year olds who think that Kobe Bryant is better. That’s just really because Kobe is their favorite player, and they never saw how Jordan just dominated day in and day out. And as great as the Jordan highlights are here on youtube, they don’t do justice to how Jordan just dominated every game with his will to win. Something that I cannot say about Kobe. From my knowledge of basketball, the list of players I would pick to take the final shot of a game would be- 1. Michael Jordan 2. Larry Bird – I’ve only seen him in sports classics, but you can just see it in his face, absolute will to win. 3.????? I guess that’s the end of my list, in my 18 years of watching basketball, I really don’t see anyone else in that level, of just having that pure will to win. I’m sure there are others that played before my time and I don’t want to disrespect them just because I never saw them play. The will to win is not something that can be learned, it’s something that a strong soul possess. It’s something that shows even early in a players career because that player was born with that will. You can copy all of Jordan’s move, but you can’t copy the will …
