00:00The East Coast was pretty rough.

00:03The East Coast basketball was like the most physical basketball that you could have at that point.

00:08We didn't have any special rules for Jordan,

00:12but in order for Jordan to score,

00:15he was the only one doing all the scoring.

00:17We just shut him down.

00:19You know what I'm saying?

00:20You play defense boxing the one on him and let everyone else go.

00:23You know what I'm saying?

00:25He was doing all the scoring.

00:26So we made up Jordan rules.

00:29And our Jordan rules were,

00:32which ever way he put the ball on the floor,

00:35that man rotates and everyone else rotates around

00:38so it'll make the farthest player the hardest pass.

00:42Do you see what I'm saying?

00:43And if he ran up in the paint,

00:46put a body on him.

00:48You can't jump if you got a body on you.

00:50There's no error if you got another body on you.

00:53Right?

00:54I'll tell you this.
