Like Ah Gan, Jordan's biggest headache before the start of Game 3 wasn't their disastrous reality of falling behind in the series, but rather how to secure tickets.
The Chicago Stadium is much larger than the Portland Memorial Coliseum, with over 18,000 seats, but tickets for Game 3 were still one of the hottest commodities.
"Gan vs. Jordan," this dream-like super showdown had the entire Chicago in a frenzy, as they hoped to see the Bulls pull off a stunning comeback at home.
Jordan had prepped over 20 tickets to host friends and family, but it was far from enough—calls were constantly coming in, asking him for one more ticket.
"I shouldn't be playing basketball; I should become a ticket scalper—I'd surely make more money that way, and it'd be way less hassle."
After taking one call after another, Jordan quipped mockingly about himself.
Some of those tickets were for Ah Gan, whose pregnant wife, father, and in-laws were all coming to Chicago to watch the game.
