1992

6'7" Drexler was in his all-around prime and the Portlans team had way more options than Chicago who had uh....Michael Jordan. He showed what was up in the first 24 minutes of the series. No one, even if they were bigger, heavier or stronger ever could or did stop him. Did they? Nope.

In game one he scored 39 points in 34 minutes and added 11 assists, but the six threes before halftime is the most exciting half in Finals history. 35 points at halftime is still a Finals record beeatches!

In the closer MJ scored 33 points, had four steals, four rebounds and four assists and one block. Totally unstoppable man.

Air Jordan 7

The Nike Air Jordan 7 was the shoe Jordan wore when he cemented his status as a global superstar and simultaneously inserted himself into GOAT discussions. 1992 was a hell of a year for him. Not only did Jordan win his second NBA championship in a row (putting him on par with other greats such as Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and Isiah Thomas), he won regular season MVP and Finals MVP in addition to leading the USA to a gold medal at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona.

The Nike Air Jordan 7 was also the subject of a commercial featuring Warner Bros’ Bugs Bunny. It was released in a “Hare” Jordan colorway, inspired by everyone’s favorite Looney Toon. The commercial later became the catalyst for the production of Space Jam, cementing this sneaker’s legacy both on and off the court.
