The Chicago Bulls icon used the same celebration in Game 1 against the Portland Trail Blazers 1991/92 NBA Season Finals.
Jordan was criticized early on for his poor shooting from distance, especially against the “Bad Boys” of Detroit.especially his three-point shooting percentage.
They reminded him of this before the series against the Trail Blazers, even comparing him to Clyde Drexler, to discuss which of the two is better. What his critics don’t know is that Michael has been quietly working on improving his size and long-range shooting.
In this way, in the first game against the Trail Blazers, the Bulls had a wonderful performance in the first half, converting 6 three-pointers. and scored 35 points.
On the final three-pointer, Jordan performed an unforgettable celebration that would eventually become known as the “Shrugging Game.”. The former player celebrated with his good friend Magic Johnson, who was a TV commentator at the time.
The Chicago leader also shrugs and opens his arms like Juanfer QuinteOr, show a certain irony in the celebration. The only difference between the two celebrations is that the Racing players did it at Boca Stadium, while Jordan did it at the Bulls’ home court.
