Craig Hodges, a two-time NBA champion with the Chicago Bulls, shared a story about his legendary teammate Michael Jordan achieving a double-double in a game against the Miami Heat after drinking beer.
We’re playing in Miami, we rolling at this time ---so we're on the bus and MJ like "Man drop me off here." He said he going to have some beers, right? He tells us to pick him up on the way back to the game. We pick him up, MJ gets on the bus, 'yeah man I’m feeling good', bubbly, can smell the beer on him, got 30 at half, all right. Going through warm-ups [MJ says] ‘Man I'm seeing three rims, I’m going to shoot at the one in the middle’---and then told us if y'all can't beat them, we don't need to win a championship.
He clarified that the game took place on March 16, 1992, during which Michael Jordan scored 37 points, grabbed nine rebounds, and dished out 13 assists. The Bulls won the match with a score of 116-100.
