Michael Jordan Famous "Con Man" Revenge game On Jeff Van Gundy and The Knicks - 51 Pts!

Michael Jordan didn't like Jeff Van Gundy calling him a con man, and he didn't like the New York Knicks thinking they could beat the Chicago Bulls. So Jordan responded to the challenge the way he knows best, scoring 51 points | Van Gundy, in his first full season as the Knicks' coach, said recently that Jordan tries to "con" fellow NBA players into thinking he's their friend."His way is to befriend them, soften them up, try to make them feel he cares about them," Van Gundy said. "Then he goes out there and tries to destroy them. The first step as a player is to realize that and don't go for it."
The comments resurfaced in Tuesday's Chicago Tribune, where Jordan saw them.
"It was probably a tactical mistake by the coach of the Knicks to attack Michael in the press. I thought he went out and played with a vendetta, a score to settle," Bull Coach Phil Jackson said.

After Jordan reached the 51-point mark with a 20-foot, fade-away jumper over Houston--giving the Bulls an 88-81 lead with 26.7 seconds left--he yelled at Van Gundy.

"Some choice words," Jordan said. "I guess I didn't make any friends out there tonight."

Jordan said Van Gundy's comments were misguided.

"I think they were more geared to motivating his players. But I don't think, on the court, they have befriended me," said Jordan, who counts New York's Patrick Ewing and Charles Oakley as friends.

"I don't go on the court expecting to make friends. But when I leave the court, I don't take what happened on the court away from me. We're only playing a game. I don't view it as a war away from the game. If he feels like I take advantage of my friends, that's fine."

The league's all-time leader in points per game, Jordan was 18 for 30 from the floor, including five for eight from three-point range, and 10 for 11 from the line. The rest of the Bulls shot 35% from the floor, and Jordan scored 12 of the Bulls' 14 fourth-quarter points.
