Scoop B Originals Presents: The Freezeout, a captivating new mini-documentary, will debut exclusively on @ScoopBTV on YouTube on Thursday, April 10, at 12 PM ET. The documentary revisits one of the most debated events in NBA history—the rumored “freezeout” of rookie Michael Jordan during the 1985 NBA All-Star Game.
Allegedly orchestrated by veteran stars Magic Johnson and Isiah Thomas, the supposed freezeout involved deliberately limiting Jordan’s touches, leaving the young star with just seven points on 2-of-9 shooting. The controversy intensified when Jordan responded by scoring 49 points against Thomas’ Pistons, sparking a fierce rivalry that lasted years.
The Freezeout dives into this decades-long saga with exclusive insights and expert analysis. In an exclusive clip from Scoop B Radio, Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins remained cautious about the controversy, joking, “I’ma stay away from that one.”
Whether the freezeout was real or just a myth remains a contention among basketball enthusiasts. The documentary promises to explore this narrative and its lasting impact on the NBA.
