Fisher's miracle shot shouldn't have counted, so I'm definitely against that. My favorite is Larry Bird tracking down his own rebound and making the shot in the same motion.

The ball was already in the air when the red light from the backboard lit as they viewed it on ultra slow-mo, so I dont know why are you doubting the outcome of that play.

Yes it was. There was plenty of arguements. After 5 years, it's died down, but that shot definitely shouldn't have counted.

guess what -- the game was played in SA. If the clock started late, it's the hometown clock operator's own fault. At any rate, Tim Duncan hit a BS prayer to put the Spurs up to begin with. As Shaq said - "one lucky shot deserves another."

Duncanface = pwnt.

I'd argue against that one A) b/c I'm a Laker fan and still am bitter about that series and B) because it wasn't necessary for Jordan to switch hands on the play. He could have easily laid it in right-handed because no one went up to challenge the shot at all.

I can understand that you're a Lakers fan. But even if Jordan could've just laid it in, it still looked so awesome.

But I beg to differ. I saw the highlight on Youtube again and I think Jordan did that to fake one of the Laker's players. He also jumped almost close to the free throw line. You can clearly see the Lakers in the paint confused. It was a masterful move, IMO, the best I've ever seen.

Carter's dunk, Kobe's plays, Dr. J's move, Fisher's shot, etc. are all great, but that Jordan move just amazes me everytime I see it.

Vince is the best dunker in the NBA in his young age.

I prefer "The Shot" against the Cavs. Still as exciting as it was back then.

My favorite is Jordan pushing off on Bryon Russell and making the last jumpshot to seal the Bull's final championship, him leavin his shooting hand out in the motion is historical and the thing that legends are made of.

Every Knick fan has to bring that up. I heard they made a poster out of that. That was his only highlight. Mike s#!t on him all the time. When Starks came to the Bulls for about a week, the Chicago fans booed him incessantly.
