Whether it is talked about 20 years from now remains to be seen; however, there are many more classic moments in NBA history that we will highlight in our &#8216;This Day In Sneaker History&#8217; column. 19 years ago, MJ had one of those moments in game 1 of the Portland Trail Blazers vs. Chicago Bulls &#8217;92 NBA Finals. Specifically, MJ scored 35 points in the second half, including six three-pointers, while wearing the &#8220;Raptors&#8221; Air Jordan 7. He went on to wear this shoe throughout the 1992 NBA Finals and helped lead the Bulls to their second consecutive title.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date: 06\/03\/1992<br \/>\nVictim: Portland Trail Blazers<br \/>\nStats: 39 pts, 11 asts<br \/>\nShoe: Air Jordan 7 &#8220;Raptors&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_165358\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-165358\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-165358\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Air Jordan 7 &quot;Raptors&quot;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_165358\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-165358\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-165358\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">MJ wearing the Air Jordan 7 &quot;Raptors&quot;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Day In Sneaker History highlights Michael Jordan&#8217;s game 1 against the Portland Trail Blazers in the 1992 NBA Finals.
