Michael Jordan era (and prior) NBA history - In all Airness

Send Adam a text message.

Adam & Aaron celebrate the 30th anniversary of Michael Jordan's (1984) arrival in the National Basketball Association. This episode covers:

San Antonio at Chicago: November 13, 1984

Philadelphia at Chicago: November 17, 1984

In this episode, we discuss the ninth and eleventh games of MJ's professional career. We were fortunate to have access to the game DVDs, giving us plenty of topics and moments to talk about. In our first game for discussion, Jordan lights up the Spurs with one of his seven, 40-plus (point) games of the 1984-85 NBA season. Following that masterclass, MJ's Bulls are schooled by The Doctor and his rampaging Philadelphia teammates.

Aside from a focus on Jordan's burgeoning career, we cover numerous sub-plots, individual milestones, amusing moments and minutiae from both games.

This episode continues our coverage of the 1984-85 NBA season. We encourage your interaction. Feel free to suggest specific games, moments and events from within the season, for us to cover in future episodes of the series. Thanks for taking the time to listen to the show.

Hey, it’s Adam here. A quick note to advise you that I’ll be away on holidays for the next-three weeks. As I record this here in Australia, it’s December 19th, 2017. My wife and I fly to the USA tomorrow. We’re visiting New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and San Francisco. If you live near any of those cities and would be interested in meeting-up for a quick coffee, I’m all for it. Our first stop is New York - we’ll be attending the 76ers @ Knicks game on Christmas Day @ Madison Square Garden.

My podcast will return in mid-to-late January, 2018. As I’ve previously stated, my goal is to release episodes fortnightly - at worst - weekly, at best.

Most likely – hearing this - you already subscribe to my show. Thanks so much for continuing to listen and supporting my passion. I have plenty of great guests lined up in 2018. Numerous topic-based episodes, too. Further, we’ll continue our special #NB series.

I welcome your interaction – feel free to e-mail me: [email protected]. I’m always happy to discuss our mutual love of NBA history.

Have a great 2018 and I look forward to releasing plenty of new and exciting content for you, as the year goes on. All the best and thanks once more for being a listener of the show. Merry Christmas / happy holidays!
