Along with the help of Scottie Pippen and the Zenmaster Phil Jackson, Jordan was able to exercise three consecutive years of Bad Boy playoff demons with a convincing sweep of the back-to-back champions in the 1991 Eastern Conference Finals.

Yale (19-23-1, 5-7) was no match either, as the Crimson won convincingly 9-3. The only reasonable challenge came in the first Princeton game, when Harvard overcame an early deficit...
