Theme 33
When Jordan scored 57 against the Washington Bullets, it was another example of his
ability to elevate beyond what anyone thought was possible. The 59% shooting efficiency
on that volume of attempts is what separated him from every other scorer in history.

Stacey King
CHICAGO BULLS · 1989–1997
CAREER: 5.0 PPG — DEFINED BY ONE FAMOUS NIGHT
He Scored 1 Point The Night Jordan Scored 69. They Combined For 70.
On March 28, 1990 — the night Jordan scored 69 points against Cleveland — Stacey King, the Bulls' backup
center, scored 1 point in garbage time. King famously said: 'I'll always remember this as the night Michael
and I combined for 70 points.' The quote is the most self-aware statement in NBA history. King had a solid 8-
year career as a role player. He's remembered entirely for one sentence. He's now a beloved Bulls radio
broadcaster. The quote was better than anything else he ever did.
The Jordan Connection: King understood his role in the Jordan story better than most. The quote is humble,
funny, and honest — the perfect articulation of what it was like to be a teammate of the most dominant scorer
in NBA history.
