Coming into this game, the Chicago Bulls were down 2-1 to the N.Y. Knickerbockers. Magic Johnson stated during the 92 playoffs/finals that it's very hard to even make it to the Finals, he said it's even harder to win in the Finals, and he said it's nearly impossible to repeat a championship. Well, the Bulls were working on their 3 peat here in the 1993 NBA playoffs. The big problem is they ran into a road block that I like to call the Terminator Knicks. The Knicks were a very physical team and were talented from top to bottom.

Michael Jordan really needed to step up big in game 4 but there was one problem. Michael Jordan had a badly injured wrist and a huge lump on his wrist from the injury. Many were questioning if Jordan would be able to shoot well with this injury he was dealing with.

Michael Jordan was soon to put on the Superman cape, as he had many times before, and he broke the NBA record for most points scored against the Knicks in the playoffs by dropping 54 points on them. Michael Jordan got into foul trouble, and when he picked up his 5th foul he sat out part of the 4th quarter. Jordan would have broke 60 if he didn't pick up that 5th foul.

Michael Jordan usually let the game come to him and took his shots in the flow of the team offense. In this game Jordan came out to prove a point. Earlier in the series Jordan and Starks got into a verbal fight and Jordan wanted to come to blows with Starks. The Jordan vs Starks rivalry was heated, they hated each other.

In this game Phil Jackson didn't need to do much coaching because Michael Jordan took the basketball and owned this game. He played his opponents like they were puppets. Mike was unstoppable.

Michael Jordan's sidekick, Scottie Pippen, shot 4-14 in this crucial game so clearly Jordan was a man alone on an island in this one and you are about to witness a performance as close to supernatural as it gets on the basketball court. Enjoy!
