NBA History Conversations: Basketball Record

Episode • Oct 27, 2014 • 46m

Adam & Aaron celebrate the 30th anniversary of Michael Jordan's (1984) arrival in the National Basketball Association. This episode covers:

- Michael Jordan's NBA regular-season debut with the Chicago Bulls (October 26, 1984)

In this special episode, we detail Michael Jordan's regular-season debut in the NBA. Until very recently, specifics of MJ's first professional game have been scarce. Wait no more, as we break down the entire contest - from pre-game, to quarter-by-quarter discussion and post-game statistics.

You may be surprised to learn that His Airness only just avoided serious injury in the game's first half, after landing awkwardly following his first slam dunk attempt. He lay motionless on the court, for almost 30 seconds.

This episode commences our coverage of the 1984-85 NBA season. We encourage your interaction. Feel free to suggest specific games, moments and events from within the season, for us to cover in future episodes of the series. Thanks for taking the time to listen to the show.
