20 years ago: Michael Jordan's #LastShot in Utah

[Champ_KW]

His two plays leading up to the shot really encompasses what MJ really was. All these new found "right basketball play" nerds don't understand that sometimes the best basketball play is for the best basketball player to go make a play......on offense and defense.

I went outside and cried afterwards. After both of the Jazz finals appearances. I was just a kid and my dreams were dead

That's what made MJ so great. Especially those defensive plays.

Not a Finals play but gotta post it.

1 assist? He wasn't playing the right way

I still prefer the SHOT over Ehlo and the Cavs. The despair in Ehlos sickly frame as he watches Jordan’s shot go in. His body just said fukk it and he crumples to the ground

When I was young I thought he kicked Ehlo in the chest during his celebration

GOAT AIR JORDAN

Notice how that fakkit Laimbeer swiped his arms down too, he was ready to straight up flagrant MJ
Jordan probably knew he was gonna try something dirty if he tried to just dunk on him so the improvisation here is

 

[LeMAO]

offensive foul, easy call. But he’s the most protected product of Nike and NBA so a no call.

Saw it live, stayed out til like 7am celebrating cuz we knew it was gonna be the bulls last championship for a long time

Season was called the last dance cuz Phil,Rodman,pip(last year of his deal) and Jordan were all on one year contracts

Still got the sun times and tribune from the bulls 6th/last title shoulda laminated them

Next season was lockout year. Old men would have extra off-season time and short season

But that team was done regardless. Everybody was done with the Jerry's in the front office

How they didn't resign the key pieces after that season I'll never understand. You have another championship basically guaranteed with the GOAT and you let ego get in the way. Never let ego get in the way of winning. I swear MJ would have won 9-10 straight if Bulls had competent management.

Keep MJ, Pippen, Rodman, Kukoc as the core. Pick up a PG who can pay defense and knock down open threes. Pick up a couple sharp shooters, a center that can consistently hit the 15-footer and BAM, Championship.

They forget he had 4 steals that game too. 2 in the last 3 minutes.


MJ=GOAT

Just trolling bruh, I'm a Kobe fan I don't give a fukk about filling the stat sheet

Down 3 with 41 seconds left, Jordan takes the quick 2 pointer and only takes four seconds to do it. That play setup the steal, then the GW. Just Smart basketball.

One of these low IQ bozos today would've taken the first 3-pointer available, likely bricked it, and lost the game.

All facts.
