It just so happens that Michael has said this dunk was his all time favorite!

Michael Jordan 1991
I’ve been watching the 2014 NBA finals and Lebron James is clearly the league’s best player, but the Spurs are the deepest and best coached team I have seen in a long time. Their ball distribution is the best and they are so selfless across the board that they can win when Duncan or Parker have an off night. I wonder how the 1991 Bulls would have matched up against the Spurs. Would they have had an answer for Michael they way they’ve managed to slow down James? This picture shows Michael just splitting through the Knicks like butter. The debate over who’s better, Lebron or Michael is a good one, but I think Michael is still the greatest player of all time…

“There’s always next year Pat!”
It was the right after the final game of the ’91 playoffs and the Bulls were about to win their first of six titles with Michael…I hocked my most sacred possessions to get a first row seat. Watching my Knicks eliminated was a drag but watching Michael was worth it (Sort of) The look on Patrick’s face is priceless as Michael is telling him there will be other years for him to win…There never was a way to get past Michael, and when the knicks finally made it to the finals in ’94, Olajuwon and the Rockets crushed Patrick’s dreams once again. Pat Reilly might have noticed that Johnny Starks was a bit off that night, but that’s another story…
