All right, I'm gonna use all this JVG talk to make a tenuous jump to this video, just so we can enjoy watching Jordan going nuts in his late-prime. A couple of things to add here:
1. Notice that, despite Jordan having a blissful game, the Bulls rarely get more than 4, 5, or 6 points ahead of JVG's Knicks. Huh. MJ went for 51 one this night...and the Bulls only won by one.
2. Hey, it's young(er) Doc Rivers! He's almost as bad a play-by-play guy as he is a coach. (Great ironic moment here, too: Verne Lundquist mentions that, earlier that day, JVG was watching a bunch of people reading Phil Jackson's book, Sacred Hoops, and he commented: "I can summarize that book in one quick swoop: 23." And Doc chuckles and says, "Yeah, there is some truth to that!" That is funny. And so is this: I can summarize your success, Doc, with three quick swoops: 34, 5, and 20.)
