On this day in Chicago Bulls history: The Michael Jordan shrug

In the 1992 NBA Finals, the Chicago Bulls were faced with the tough task of taking on Clyde Drexler and the Portland Trailblazers. Michael Jordan made a statement in game one that would end up setting the tone for the rest of the series.

Jordan put up 35 first-half points including a barrage of three-pointers to put the Bulls ahead 66-49 in the second quarter.

After hitting his sixth 3-pointer of the half, Jordan hit the crowd with his famous shrug – implying that even he didn’t know how he was doing it.
