Jordan finished three years in college and left to join the NBA. Before the NBA was the Olympics, and this was the perfect scenario for Jordan to fine-tune his skills before taking the court for the Chicago Bulls.
In order to get Team USA ready for the 1984 Olympics, Team USA scheduled eight games against the best players in the NBA. This is where Michael Jordan would show the world he was ready for the NBA.
The team the NBA sent to play against Team USA was impressive. It included Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Isiah Thomas, James Worthy, Clyde Drexler, Bill Walton, Kevin McHale, Danny Ainge, and Robert Parish.
Here is the last game (8th) of the scrimmages. The NBA All Stars really wanted to win to avoid not winning any games but Mike still DOMINATED (scoring a game high 29 points), they even tried playing a box and 1 defense to try to stop Jordan and it didn’t matter..
