Description: Out of Michael Jordan's career 179 playoff games, he has the astonishing record of 109 playoff games with 30+pts so this one might be lucky to make his list of top 100 playoff games if one wants to judge it on efficiency and victory. However, all MJ games - wins or losses - should be required viewing because of Magic Johnson's superlative quote: "...even if he hits just one shot, it might be the most amazing shot you've ever seen." Well, 35 year-old MJ went 13-29 here (which was respectable for the Finals but still a paltry 45% by his standards) and even with the tough loss, there was no doubt the smooth fades and perimeter-post footwork alone were worth our paycheck and 2.5 hours. But more importantly, this was the last leg of MJ's historic dominance and the world was watching closely. Curious non-basketball fans who never saw one basketball game were tuned in to this one. As underdogs for the first time during the running of the Bulls, some experts suddenly lost their minds and predicted MJ would go out losing because the team was too old with an average age of almost 32 years. And when the Bulls let this one get away at the last second in OT, those voices grew louder and were adamantly set in stone. Bob Costas himself just knew it was over for the Bulls. But what was I thinking? The Bulls were coming off a grueling 7 gamer against the Pacers with just 2 days rest (which was only the 2nd time MJ was pushed to 7 games during his reign); the Jazz were motivated and hungry with 10 days rest; the game was in the loudest arena at Utah; two buckets by MJ were called off in crunch time that might have changed the outcome; the game went to OT with MJ and the rest at half-speed still bringing them back in the 4th; and it took a tremendous, brilliant shot by Stockton to eke out the win for Utah in the last few possessions. So what was I thinking? I knew right then MJ had ring #6 in the bag. |

| uberathlete ::: Favorites 2007-12-21 10:51:10 Jordan was an innovator. A lot of the moves he pulled back then had never been seen before. Watch how he plays, his style was totally different tahn the other players. There were aspects of his game that were similar to other great players, but on the whole the way he played the game was different. __________________________________________________ | |
| danwentz ::: Favorites 2007-12-21 02:11:58 3:56, 4:42, 4:54, 8:25 The fade-away jumper was by far my favorite and I think his deadliest shot. It set up everything else he did. If you double him, he would fake it and drive. Unstoppabull. Today's N$A players should just sit down and study him. He hosted clinics, not games. __________________________________________________ | |
| ipimped0uti ::: Favorites 2007-12-20 23:52:45 susaetern - jordan was not an innovator, he admits in his autobiography that he built himself off other players. He was not so much an innovator but he was able to put dribbling, shooting, driving, stealing, blocking, etc. into one player and thats what makes him so great. __________________________________________________ | |

| susaetern ::: Favorites 2007-12-20 17:49:09 Damn-it, Jordan is so well-rounded, with being able to shoot, dribble, drive and whatnot. NO ONE will ever be as great because he was the first--an innovator. __________________________________________________ | |
