Jordan probably spent a month in the gym during the offseason practicing eyes closed free throws after he lost that round. :lol:

I actually didn't think of that, but that's a great idea. I'll have to work on this.

Were people really proclaiming Jordan to be a GOAT in 1987? A couple years into his career? I just thought that was crazy and how Jordan lost to the Sheens 2 on 1. hah

No. there was a small number of people who might have argued he was the best in the nba but most werent going to give him that so soon or without winning a ring.

his rookie year I remember thinking "I hope he can keep this up" bc I'd seen guys who'd look awesome in short spurts but then fade after the league figured them out. I thought he had a nice jumper though and figured if Dr J could be awesome with his ugly jump shot then MJ had a good chance

Haha. That's funny. Yeah, I was only 6 at the time so I didn't know what the sentiment was like.

People forget Doug Collins tried MJ at point guard 100% that season thats why he was a triple double machine
