Watch: On this day 31 years ago, Michael Jordan put up 63 points vs. Celtics

On April 20, 1986, exactly 31 years ago today, Michael Jordan delivered one of the greatest individual performances in NBA postseason history.

The then 23-year-old put up 63 points in Game 2 of the Chicago Bulls' first-round series against the eventual champion Boston Celtics, setting an NBA record.

Larry Bird famously said after the game, "He is the most exciting, awesome player in the game today. I think it's just God disguised as Michael Jordan."
