This is why MJ was MJ & everybody else is who they are. I don’t care what his percentage for the first 47 minutes was. On game winning shots in his championship prime, it was INEVITABLE. A lot of great players (Malone, Stockton, Barkley, Ewing, etc.) have no rings because of HIM.
On this day in 1997...
MJ's buzzer-beater capped the Bulls’ thrilling win in Game 1 of the 1997 NBA Finals!
Jordan: 31 PTS (19 in 2H), 8 AST
Pippen: 27 PTS, 9 REB, 3 STL, 4 BLK
