Talk about a good reason to avoid your boss.
Michael Jordan said in a recent interview promoting NBA 2K ’14 that his favorite dunk was the one over Patrick Ewing during Game 3 of the opening round of the 1991 playoffs.
“I dunked it so hard on him, it was unbelievable,” Jordan said. “Every time I see him that’s the first thing I remind him of.”
That might be somewhat often considering Jordan owns the Bobcats and Ewing is an assistant coach for the team.
“That’s only because Patrick and I are good friends,” Jordan said of the friendly reminder.
“[Charles] Oakley is a part of the process because he thought he could defend and we got to a screen-and-roll and I spun back and Patrick was there. I told him Georgetown guys don’t block shots, all they do is take charges.”
The Bulls would go on to win the game and complete a three-game sweep of the Knicks on their way to the first of Jordan’s six NBA titles.
