Chicago Stadium - March 12, 1993.
MJ looked different this season. He hardly dunked. Hardly even drove the lane! It was all fadeaways. And for me personally, this was the first season I started noticing on breakaways he would just do a basic 'right handed, off-the-left-foot' dunk.. even stopped bothering with the Leaner. It's funny, it's not that he couldn't do it - cos he brought all the dunks back in the 95-96 season (leaners, reverses, double pumps etc) - its just that in the 92-93 season MJ was noticeably tired and (dare I say it?) unexcited! Can't blame him - the previous season was gruelling, the postseason was long and demanding (thank you Knicks!), plus he played in the summer at the Olympics. It really wasnt a surprise that he retired after this season cos he really had achieved everything there was to achieve - and the man was just exhausted!
Anyway the point I was gonna make was: this game had one of his few facial dunks of the season (I can't even think of any others - were there any others??) and a rare display of excitement afterwards.
Apart from that, it was All-Business-MJ. Wasn't until the 95-96 season that he looked like he was having fun again.
