Byron Scott and Michael Jordan
NBA legend Michael Jordan is a name on everyone’s lips who follows the game of Basketball. Back when he was on the court, after winning the second championship, the Chicago Bulls played a match against the lakers. Former LA Lakers player Byron Scott told a secret about stopping from scoring big in the exact match.
Byron Scott said, “The one thing I did with Mike was that I never pissed him off. He makes a shot and you say, ‘Good shot Mike.’ You don’t talk trash to him so he goes off for 60. You try to kill him with kindness.” However, Michael went above and beyond and scored 54 points on 21-39 shooting from the field.
Apparently, Michael Jordan went into the Lakers’ locker room to ask if Byron Scott was guarding him in the match. Unfortunately, Scott was sidelined due to an ankle injury, and he told Jordan that Anthony Peeler would be defending him that night. In the end, the Lakers won that game on November 20th, 1992, by 2 points despite Michael Jordan scoring 54 points.
Former LA Laker says he’s the reason Michael Jordan had an illustrious career with the Chicago Bulls
LA Lakers star player Magic Johnson revealed the moment he showed NBA legend Michael Jordan the path to becoming an iconic NBA star with the Chicago Bulls. Magic was talking on a recent episode of ‘The Jimmy Kimmel Live,’ where he highlighted this incident.
Host Jimmy Kimmel asked Magic, “I was thinking about this today about how close you came to being drafted by the Chicago Bulls and how the whole, not just the Lakers and your career, everything would have changed if that had happened.”
To this, Johnson replied, “Jimmy, no question about it, can you believe that if I had went to the Bulls there would be no Michael Jordan in Chicago.” Jimmy then added jokingly, “Yeah, he probably would have went right to the Wizards or something.”
Magic started laughing and said, “That’s a good one. But I’m glad that I ended up here [Los Angeles] and playing with Kareem [Abdul-Jabbar] and all that.” Both of them had a lengthy conversation on this and Magic ended up highlighting his clash with the Chicago Bulls great in detail.
