Great NBA Games - Michael Jordan 63 points (1986 Playoffs) - Bulls at Celtics - AIR044
Adam and Todd discuss Michael Jordan's record-breaking Playoff game - April 20th, 1986 - MJ scored 63 points in the Chicago Bulls' double-overtime loss to the Boston Celtics.
We discuss all the key aspects of the game. We talk about the CBS broadcast and its commentary team of Dick Stockton, Tom Heinsohn and Pat O'Brien. We chat about the contrasting nature of Boston and Chicago's respective seasons, leading into their first-round Playoffs meeting. We talk about each team's roster and our memories and opinions on this incredible match-up - arguably one of the top 10 NBA games ever played.
As per usual, the conversation is scattered with humor and plenty of insight. Todd also updates us on the status of his forthcoming book on the late, great, Drazen Petrovic. A must-listen, for die-hard NBA fans, regardless of the team you support.
