It was on April 20, 1986 when Michael Jordan organized a memorable gala in the second game of the round of 16 against the Boston Celtics.

His 63 points from that time, scored against the future NBA champion, still have no comparison in the playoffs 34 years later. “Air Jordan”, as it was called from the free throw line due to its spectacular dunks, dodges at will.

Weird: Having “God” on your side shouldn’t be enough for the Bulls in the Boston Backyard back then. After the second extension, the result was 135: 131 in favor of the best seeded hosts. “I would return all my points if we could win,” Jordan said at the time.
