Game 6, NBA Finals, Jazz vs Bulls. Jordan steals the ball from Malone, dribbles up court, pushes off (yes, he pushed off), and hits the mid-range jumper with 5.2 seconds left. 6th championship. Last shot as a Bull. The greatest closer in sports history.
Heat down 3 with 20 seconds left. Elimination game. Allen catches a rebound, shuffles to the corner, and hits the three to force overtime. Miami won. Without this shot, LeBron has 2 rings, not 4. One shot changed a legacy.
Four bounces on the rim. Four. The longest 3 seconds in NBA history. The ball went in. 76ers eliminated. Kawhi showed zero emotion. The most cold-blooded shot in playoff history because of the bounce — luck and skill merged into one moment.
Game 7. Warriors up 3-1 in the series. Iguodala on a fast break. LeBron chases from behind and pins it on the backboard. The Cavs won the championship. The greatest individual defensive play in NBA Finals history. Cleveland's curse ended with a block, not a shot.
