In Game 3 of the 1998 playoff series vs the Nets, the atmosphere felt different from the start. The arena was packed, the pressure was rising, and sitting courtside were Adam Silver and David Stern, watching every move unfold like it meant more than just another playoff game.
From the opening minutes, Michael Jordan looked locked in. But this wasn’t just another MJ performance, it felt personal. Nets Center Jayson Williams added fuel to the fire, trash talking after game 2, in an attempt to throw MJ and the Bulls off his rhythm. Instead, it had the opposite effect. Every word, every stare, every possession seemed to sharpen MJ’s focus even more.
What followed was a masterclass in control and dominance. 🍿
