When Michael Jordan made his NBA debut in Peoria, Illinois

Jordan made his professional debut Oct. 5, 1984, at what now is called Carver Arena. He had a team-high 18 points as the Bulls defeated the Indiana Pacers 102-98 in an NBA preseason game. The attendance that night was estimated at 2,100, according to a Journal Star story by Dave Reynolds, who in the ensuing years has become the longtime Bradley University basketball reporter for the newspaper.
