The context of the following conversation is Jordan's team was losing the game badly. Jordan's coach put them in the game,  and he changes the tide of the game for their team  to win.:
Jordan says See this ball, this was the ball I hit over the fence for the winning grand slam home run..
The friend responds I heard that, they said you guys were losing pretty bad..
Jordan responds We were, until the coach finally put me in at the top of the seventh inning..
The friend responds Is that when you started scoring?.
Jordan responds No, but I did catch a few fly balls to stop them from scoring. It wasn't until the ninth inning when I hit the homer, that brought in the runs to win the game..
The friend responds Wow, just proves that one player can chance the tide of the game, and bring a win home for the team..
