25 years ago, Michael Jordan dropped 35 points in one half during the 1992 NBA Finals

Believe it or not, there was a hot debate before Game 1 of the 1992 NBA Finals between Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls and Clyde Drexler and the Portland Trail Blazers as to which team had the best player.

It didn’t take Jordan long to show who was the better player. Actually, it took about 24 minutes to show the world that Jordan was the best player in the series and in the world.

Jordan hit six (!) 3-pointers in the first half and dropped 35 points on Drexler and the Blazers, as the Bulls took a 15-point lead into the break, 66-51.
