THIS DAY IN SPORTS HISTORY- APRIL 20

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

- Larry Bird

On this date in 1986, the Chicago Bulls' Michael Jordan scored 63 points in game two of a first-round NBA playoff series against the Boston Celtics, setting a post-season scoring record.

Despite Jordan's achievement, the bulls would lose to the Celtics in double overtime, 135-131. Boston would sweep the three-game series and go on to win the NBA championship.
