Kevin Johnson’s CRAZY story of GUARDING Michael Jordan in Suns-Bulls NBA Finals | Jeff Teague
Jeff Teague is joined by Kevin Johnson where he talks about playing alongside Charles Barkley on the Phoenix Suns in the NBA Finals against Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls. KJ talks about how he was told by his coach going into Game 3 that he would be guarding MJ, and how he thought it was a bad dream that he woke up from. He went to a church in Chicago before the game to pray before guarding the goat, and MJ ended up scoring 44 on KJ, but the Suns got the win! The Bulls would go on to win the NBA Finals in six games.

MJ the GOAT.
KJ lost his faith but Bird became religious after he witnessed Black Jesus.
Best players all-time
1. 87-88-92-93 MJ
2. 95-98 MJ
3. Kareem
18. Lebron James
Clicked on this by accident and stayed way longer than planned.
Suns scored same number of points in '93 Finals v greatest team ever… Barkley and KJ were legit 1-2 combo, never get any love historically; averaged 59 wins over 3 seasons '93 trough '95…
Didn’t expect much at first, but this turned out properly solid.
I kept him under his average, was expecting 20-30 😂😂😂
Hos nickname is "BISHOP" 😂😂😂😂 Jeff could do stand up 😂😂😂 Appreciate you gentleman🙌♥️🇺🇸
Kj is criminally underrated. 1 of the best scoring point guard ever. Rs
The disrespect towards that SUns team is insane. That team could beat all of Lebrons teams
That’s how Jordan got all them rings. How are professionals this scared of another professional?
Ain’t nobody going back to sleep after being assigned to guard Jordan😂😂
The softest era in NBA history the 90s ladies and gentlemen
Kev got a little Karl Anthony Towns in him don’t he?
Kevin Johnson one of my favorite players frfr❤💪🏽
The stories of MJ are very real
KJ class act🏀👏🏾👍🏾
MJ was 5" taller than KG. Dan was his size but way slower and way less athletic…. but he was the best perimeter defender!
Freaky Kev…
Phoenix legend
Scared ? Y’all call bron soft tho 😂😂 bruh look at what his direct competitor is saying. How can u play to your full potential if you’re scared ?
But apparently MJ played plumbers 😂 people forget how many solid players and HOFers he stopped from winning a chip
Do you know how great of a player you have to be to make someone go to church and start talking to Jesus before guarding you? 😂😂 I’m sorry MJ the GOAT
"Well Dan Marley…" ☠️🤣🤣🤣
Legendary pervert
This man is about to be 60!!! Much respect.
KJ got me dying laughing on keeping MJ under 44pts, by 2 points. 😂😂😂.
The kings franchise would’ve been saved had he not stopped them from turning into the Seattle sonics 💀
kJ was super nice these kids don’t know
When players said they feared this man , yall don’t know
KJ doesn't get the love he deserves, KJ was beating out Isiah Thomas for all nba teams back then
KJ needs to be a active guest ! Greatest story
I always liked KJ. He's was a straight baller.
KJ was no slouch. Legit one of the great pointguards of the 90s.
KJ is still my favorite player to this day. #7, still have all 3 of his jerseys from those 90s Suns teams.
😂
The dude to the left of KJ don't know anything.
KJ hilarious, bring him back!😂
1:19 DJ not allowed to say “me too” you got cooked by Gillie 😂😂😂
Playing against the best to ever do it get it right
Kevin Johnson was a beast! 😂 great story.
“I lost my faith” 😂 Lmaoooo
93 MJ was God Level 🐐 41.0PPG on 50% from the field
