Would it be a consensus top 10 shot of all time?

Considering the stakes, the shocking way the game would have ended (very reminiscent of the Fisher .4 shot game), and who hit the shot, it would certainly have a great argument imo.

I think it would be a Top Ten shot of all-time, which is an intriguing thought.

I think about this type of stuff sometimes. He banked that shot, so it wasn't a greatly aimed attempt, but it still didn't miss by much. That was one of those "part way down with the right angle" shots.

I feel like missing that shot was almost more about chance than it was skill, kind of like Allan Houston's game-winner against Miami (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiJJCnrCX3I). Great job making the play and giving the ball a chance, but sometimes those bounces help carve out our overall views of players as a whole, and it's interesting.

Of course, many see Jordan as the best regardless, so it's not like that shot was make-or-break. Just interesting to contemplate. I've certainly seen worse shots go in before.

Dubeta,

You are a disgrace to basketball fans, and I am no MJ fan. Your shtick is tired and pedestrian. You ape 3ball in a parallel universe, but you are Waiters to his Durant.
