I remember Drexler being called the second best player in the league that season. MJ wanted to show everyone that there was a huge gap between 1 and 2.

Was born and raised in Chicago. Absolutely loved the early 90s Trail Blazers

For all those saying the Blazers are weak competition or that Drexler isn't that good then how come Drexler was able to average 26-8-6 on 54% shooting against one of the greatest defensive teams of all time the 1990 pistons in a losing effort? People confuse the Blazers lack of big names outside of Drexler for being a weak team. The truth is they had 6 players scoring in double figures for the playoffs
- Terry Porter averaged 21-5-7 on 52% for the 1992 Playoffs to complement Drexler. He also outplayed Kevin Johnson and John Stockton in back to back rounds in the 1992 WCSF and 1992 WCF.
-Terry Porter in 1992 became the only player to average at least 15 ppg, 50% FG, 45% 3PT In an NBA Finals run (min. 1.5 3PA/game) 
- In the 1992 Playoffs he had 21.4 ppg - 4.6 rpg - 6.7 apg on 52% FG - 47% 3PT - 83% FT
- They had the same Cliff Robinson that was a key starter of the 2002 and 2003 Pistons with the number 6 and number 1 defense in the league, as well as another elite defender like Buck Williams. Only difference is this Cliff Robinson wasn't washed up at 35 and 36 years old like he was with the 2000s Pistons.
They also had a great supporting cast of Porter, Kersey, Duckworth, and Ainge (same Ainge who was a key contributor of the Celtics in the 1986 Finals). This team was insanely deep.
- The Bulls beat the same team that the Bad Boy Pistons needed to beat in order to win a championship, and somehow it is only the Bad Boys that played in a tough era?
- I have heard some people say that Jordan would have never beat the Jazz when they had Malone,  Stockton, and Eaton on the same team. Malone,  Stockton, and Eaton could not even beat this 1992 Blazers team, and they also lost to the Blazers in 1991 with Thurl Bailey as well.
- The Stockton, Malone, and Eaton/Bailey Jazz in 1990 also lost in the first round to Kevin Johnson's 5 seed Suns team, and the Suns did not even have Charles Barkley on that team like they did in 1993.

I remember this game like it was yesterday...was always a pleasure to see mj in action

@4:18 when MJ pulled and you hear the crowd echo “THREE”, this sound is literally in every video game I played as a kid 😂

[theVeeAye]

As a kid this crushed me I was a big fan of these Portland Trailblazers and my big cousin loved the Bulls we watched every game live and we all know what happen, I'm glad I was able to see the greatness of Michael Jordan

[josephfarrier]

Jordan's foot work, explosiveness and shooting separated him from clyde

[usmcer]

I Remember that Sports Illustrated cover depicting Jordan vs Drexler. The 2 best 2 guards at the time

[josephdelledonne]

People forget, but I remember being a kid at this time, and everyone was saying Drexler was the second best player in the NBA; not shooting guard, but second best player. After this season he was never the same, and he had some good years, but was never that dominant player he was here, and had some injuries. Same with Barkley, the next season he goes to the Finals and then he is never the same either. People that go up against Jordan just never leave the same, sounds strange, but he's like that fighter that ruins you. Today Drexler is always rated below the top stars of that era like Barkley, Malone, Ewing, Olajuwon, Robinson, Jordan of course, and even Stockton probably. Sad because he goes from being the second best to not even being close to that.

[poligonzo]

I recorded that game in 1992 and I still have the tape for me is like a treasure and I remember when I was playing basketball before playing I used to watch every tape I had about MJ bring me a lot of memories when I was a kid trying to be like Mike

[Interscope]

I remember when i saw Jordan’s stats at half time how he scored 35 points i almost fainted 😳

[wavyyiibabii]

Jordan is not a legend...he's an iCON 🐐

[justtimes]

this clude lead his team to the finals & people disrespect him so much

[Biostalker]

"Most unusual to see Michael bombing away..." Not when the media looking for a hype angle story to run before the finals declared Drexler shoots the 3 a lil better.

He took that personally.

[miguelmatias]

"You know what's gonna happen.
Im gonna give it... to... this.... dude"

[yunyuniii]

Imagine if Michael Jordan was drafted by Portland instead of Sam Bowie
Clyde and Michael will be greatest

[DrMjenno]

Remember when we thought six threes in a half was outrageous. Simpler times.
You'd never get away with defending like this today. Anything above the free throw line apparently you don't have to worry about.

[thomasdauphin]

Looking at all of those MJ threes Crazy!!

[agda]

Fantastic player Drexler, very tecnique, he plays very aesthetic Basketball, like Jordan and kobe

[chriswilson]

I really enjoyed watching Portland back in the day. They had a great team then:)
