None of which is "more more memorable than 1992′s stat line of 42 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals to cement an 89-77 victory for the Phil Jackson-coached [Bulls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vanilla-bullseyes-chocolate-bar) over Pat Riley’s [New York Knicks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-york-energy-refresher) in Chicago," [Hypebeast](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jordan-clarkson) points out.
