He had a good half, Denver led 68-43 at the half, Chicago erased that with a 39-16 third quarter, bulls ran out of gas in the thin air, MJ had 39, Denver only had 37 second half points
Those smaller, fast elite offensive guards always gave MJ problems. We saw how Iverson did him dirty. That why Joe Dumars was tough for him and they battled. Joe was a combo guard playing SG.

I remember watching this game. '96 Bulls lost also to Phoenix when Rex Chapman went off, and Toronto with Damon Stoudamire. They lost when they couldn't defend the 3

I watched that game and the Bulls were down 25 at halftime and by 32 pts in the 3rd quarter. The Bulls came back and took a 2 pt lead, in the 4th but eventually loss by 6. It was the only back to back game they lost that season until they played Seattle in the Finals. An added note, in the Finals, the Bulls were up 3-0 on Seattle and they pretty much went on cruise control until Seattle cut it to 3-2 games. The rest is history.

How many rings Chris Jackson got again?
He's an extremely underrated guard and we all know why
Jordan probably said that's good you had one good gameπ
Jordanβs true weakness was a guard who had a bag and could use screens.
Best ever from my home state Mississippi
This man doesn't get enough recognition, my dad showed my a highlight reel a decade I was in shock
MJ has been lit up many many times…
Imagine he's been guarded by MJ and scored 32pts… could be a superstar in today's era.

Mahmoud would have wanted the chip instead of dropping those points on MJ. Sounds like something Gilbert Arenas wouldnβt say π
Rauf was the most underrated player of the 90s

He a perfectionist and thatβs what made him such a great shooter. He had OCD on top of Tourettes.
Jordan was never a great defender. It just a lie that the NBA sold everyone to sell the Jordan brand. Which inturn Benefited them to.
Don't get me wrong MJ is my number favorite player but people don't realize how great Rauf was.

My top 4 college players ever: Chris Jackson/Mahmoud Abdul-rauf, Lewis Alcindor/Kareem Abdul-jabbar, Pistol Pete Maravich, Christian Laettner!π
MISSISSIPPI BEST…

And that's why I said Jordan wouldn't be able to guard these guards now of days
