#3 Michael Jordan (Chicago Bulls) v Phoenix Suns, June 16, 1993: 55 points
What can I add about Michael Jordan that's not already known? Another mainstay in the greatest of all time debate, Michael Jordan was drafted by the Chicago Bulls in 1984, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Two three-peats, six NBA Finals MVPs, 14 All-Star appearances and many more achievements later, it's safe to say that MJ was one hell of a baller! And it was back in 1993 when he added another feat to his long list of milestones.
Squaring off against the Phoenix Suns who were led by regular season MVP Charles Barkley, Jordan averaged 41 points per game in the 1993 NBA Finals which was wrapped up in six games by the Bulls who also recorded their first three-peat in the process. And it was in Game 4 when Jordan upped his series average by 14 points to drop 55 points in Chicago.
The series score read 2-1 in the Bulls' favour when Jordan's robust efforts helped the home side pile on the misery for the Suns. Phoenix had just taken a victory on the road in Game 3 and it was imperative to stop them from doing the same again, which Jordan ensured in the end.
He capped off a brilliant night by scoring a difficult layup on the drive while getting fouled. The Bulls won the game 111-105 and in the end, it made all the difference as they wrapped up the title with a 4-2 series win.
