Michael Jordan’s Historic 20,000 Points Game Shoes
A Milestone in Basketball History
On January 8th, 1993, the legendary Michael Jordan etched his name deeper into the annals of basketball history by becoming the 18th player in NBA history to score 20,000 points. This remarkable achievement was accomplished in a mere 620 games, showcasing Jordan’s unparalleled scoring prowess. During the Chicago Bulls’ emphatic 120-95 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, Jordan’s three-pointer with 5:12 left in the game not only extended the Bulls’ lead to 110-77 but also marked his 20,000th point. The moment was celebrated with a thunderous ovation from the sellout crowd at Chicago Stadium, as Jordan was taken out of the game just 13 seconds later.
