He was playing a different sport, it's not like he was injured or sitting at home..well, I guess baseball isn't necessarily the most active sport, to be fair..
come on Jordan just came back after a long break from basketball

Is NOT a sport
This guy isn't world-class athlete?
We need King Emmanuel
I saw that game, it was a pretty humiliating sequence for Dad Killer. I bet he could taste that Nick Anderson samich all summer, IMO TBH.
To be fair, it's not discussed for two reasons:
1) This was his "returning from baseball" season. He played only 17 games in the regular season. Perhaps he needed some time to re-adapt and rebuild chemistry with the team. (I don't believe this actually caused him to choke in that particular game, but it's easy to see how people could apply that reasoning.)
2) The Bulls followed up the next season with a 72-win team, widely regarded as the greatest team of all time. This essentially erased the 95 playoffs from everyone's memory.
And then Nick Anderson chokes on a black in the Finals.
but...but...the rockets only won because MJ retired
Michael v Hakeem in the Finals is one of the biggest what-ifs in Finals history together with LeBron v Kobe. At least Pac and PBF will be settled now.but...but...the rockets only won because MJ retired
Bills vs 49ers

- A.C. Green - up 3-1 before departing Houston for Phoenix.
DK is just lucky his gambling suspension coincided with Hakeem's prime. Hakeem would have given DK some legacy-destroying beatdowns.
God I hated that series.
The reason its not really discussed much is for the reasons Arcadian brought up. TBH I do remember at the time especially after the series was over the media did go after MJ by saying that he was no longer the player he once was and doubted he would ever reach MVP status again along with winning another le. There was a lot of talk even after the Magic lost the finals that they were the team of the future and the bulls were yesterday's news. MJ faced a lot of pressure during the summer of '95 to prove the media wrong. Obviously he did that by winning MVP and the bulls winning 72 games that year.
Curry choked away 16 points a couple years ago in the 4th. He became an instant hero to a few gots here.
^^ Doesn't seem like OP ever saw Jordan play. I saw him get beat for years. Shows that the Jordan legend is peaking. In ten years he'll be totally discredited like Bill Russell.
Leo v Cristiano in the UCL Final is still a big what-if too... Should have happened in 2013 until the Bundesliga hijacked the UCL like it was Poland
He's visibly exhausted throughout the video tbh. Doesn't excuse choking, but it's crazy that it took until 2014 to figure out that 35 minutes of a good player and 13 minutes of an OK player is better than 42 minutes of a good player and 6 minutes of one of the coach's friends.
This is just fans say to troll. People who actually know basketball know that Jordan's Bulls would have gotten stretched over the log by Dream's Rockets.but...but...the rockets only won because MJ retired
Poland is one of the oldest nations in European History. Saved Europe's existence numerous time.Leo v Cristiano in the UCL Final is still a big what-if too... Should have happened in 2013 until the Bundesliga hijacked the UCL like it was Poland
I can lend United s of America a history book
OP and pretty much everybody on this board who criticizes Jordan was born during the 90's so of course they will discredit most of the stuff he has done. It's mainly because they missed out on the HOF talent the 90's had so they have to prop up their own era to make it better when it really isn't. I remember reading an article by Simmons during the summertime in which he stated during the 90's every year outside of MJ you had 8 or 10 guys who were legit superstars but in todays league you only have 2 in Lebron , Durant and now I would add Davis to that list. Just look at even how ty the MVP race is this year you have Harden-Curry two guys who'll probably be the weakest winners of that award since Nash.
I was never a fan of MJ growing up and was always rooting against him. I wanted him to fail badly just so I could rub it in the faces of my classmates at school considering the majority were MJ fans. MJ earned my respect because I watched him closely hoping he would fail but he always came through the majority times well at least during my childhood since I have been watching the NBA since 1990.
