#MJ50: The Air Jordans Worn in Michael Jordan’s 50-Point Games
Against the Cleveland Cavaliers on April 28, 1988
Kicks: Air Jordan 3 “Fire Red”
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been on the unfortunate end of many of Jordan’s best moments. Craig Ehlo’s nightmares began in Game 1 of the first round of the 1988 NBA Playoffs when Michael Jordan lit up the place with 50 points. He became the first player to ever score 50 points in back-to-back playoff games when he dropped 55 points in Game 2. Jordan ended up averaging 45 points in the five game series.
