@Michael Jordan 1991: 37pts, Xmas Day Vs. Detroit Pistons

As Tex Winter said, the Detroit Pistons had as much to do with MJ's greatness as MJ himself. The Pistons challenged MJ to raise his game with their bruising defense and as always, MJ figured out a way to not only beat his challengers, but to dominate them. Perhaps one might say that without the Pistons, MJ might have wallowed in his individual dominance but since they did exist, MJ was forced to elevate his mental game to another level. With the Pistons' defense, MJ mastered multiple dimensions to his already supreme game: finding split-second open spots before the defense could set, outsmarting traps and avoiding developing double teams, baiting the defense to draw them away from the tertiary shooters for the pass and so on. MJ stated that the physical aspect to the game provided no challenges at this stage and that everything was mental. It was all about outthinking the play and timing each move to get the edge. With that mindset, MJ's Bulls finally became wise and overcame the Pistons during this year. And as the single toughest obstacle in MJ's path to greatness, beating them meant nothing could stop them. Of course, it turned out to be true.
