speaking of Jordan’s last shot

It wasn’t literally his last shot, since he had the brief and mostly boring comeback with the Washington Wizards a few years later. But it was his last shot for Chicago, his last shot in the 20th century, and his last shot as Jordan rather than as “Throwback Old Man Gimmick Jordan.”

Jordan with the steal on the other end, then a shot over Russell that, as Simmons said, you absolutely knew he was going to hit. If he had missed it, the series would have gone to Game 7 and the Bulls might have lost the series.

The problem with LeBron: he would have passed to Wade, afraid to take the shot himself. Jordan was a killer, afraid of nothing.
