MJ should have been nicknamed "The Giant Killer". MJ flipped conventional wisdom that you needed a big man to win. And, he did it during the era of the greatest big men by playing at an efficiency higher than them all. This may be his most incredible achievement - retiring as the #1 PER leader in NBA history. From Jabbar in his last years to Akeem to Hakeem to Ewing to Robinson, Moses, Sampson, Laimbeer, Eaton, Daugherty, Parish, McHale, Mutombo, Mourning, Shaq, Smits and to the tweeners Duncan and Garnett, MJ ruled during a time when centers were supposed to rule. MJ turned David Vs. Goliath into a mismatch and instead, became Goliath himself. Here, MJ played a typical game for 1990. In his absolute prime, his physical mastery and skills were at superhuman levels. With young David Robinson in his way, MJ played the game inside and out as if he wasn't there on route to 44 athletic points. The Spurs played a great game to offset MJ's typical brilliance. The Admiral played a great game to match his team. MJ's Bulls suffered a close loss here but MJ's show was better than the game. Enjoy.
