The 1993 Eastern Conference Finals were particularly contentious. Starks finished off the Bulls in Game 2 with his emphatic dunk, but Jordan clapped back in Game 3. Jordan hit Starks with an elbow, and Starks swatted back at Jordan. A shoving match ensued with Starks repeatedly yelling “You wanna go, Mike?” at Jordan.
