The former NBA star is talking about Game 4 of the 1996 NBA finals in which the Seattle Sonics destroyed the Chicago Bulls (107-86). The Seattle Sonics star was the highest scorer in that game with 25 points. The Chicago Bulls went onto win that series securing their fourth ring under MJ’s leadership.
