Today marks 20 years to the day that Michael Jordan hit one of his patented buzzer-beaters – a full-length dribble and pull-up jumper as time expired to beat the Atlanta Hawks on the road, 99-98. It was only Jordan’s fourth game in his 1995 comeback campaign, and second Bulls win of that short stretch. Jordan finished with 32 points, his first 30+ point game since returning on March 19, 1995 against the Pacers. Definitely a highlight game for the Air Jordan 10 “Chicago,” which re-releases this Saturday, March 28 – the date of MJ’s 55-point binge in New York against the Knicks.
