Over and Back: 23 worst games of Michael Jordan’s career

We look at the 23 worst games of Michael Jordan’s career in the latest episode of the Over and Back Classic NBA podcast.

Rich Kraetsch and Jason Mann look at Jordan’s performances in each game and tidbits from each situation. While this might seem like an exercise in player-hating from notorious Jordan skeptics, it’s actually impressive how few out-and-out bad performances Jordan had in his career.
