Steve Kerr saved Michael Jordan in the 1997 NBA Finals.

Interesting discussion I had with my friend last night. Jordan and Bran stans, what's your take on this. I'm Switzerland. :confusedshrug:

[MrFonzworth]

Kerr was a role player and he fulfilled his role.

I know you're young and Swiss so I won't fault you too much for being clueless about NBA basketball history.

Suggestion, lurk more and post less.

MJ told Kerr that if they double off him, be ready for the pass. Kerr's response 'if they double off you...I'll be ready.

That's years of chemistry, trust and respect for your teammate on the floor. Simpletons would call such a play as being 'bailed out' or whatever, but in reality they knew exactly what the Jazz would do defensively because the odds are MJ would take the shot under those circumstances.

There is virtually no such thing as a Jordan stan.

That trust came when kerr wanted to kick mjs ass

This is true, how can one stan the Consensus?

We are all Jordan stans.

It was a tie game and it was game 6 with the Bulls up 3-2 in the series. It was nowhere close to Jordan being saved. It

Who doubles off of Kerr, one of the greatest shooters ever?

Right. During the timeout, you could audibly hear Jordan tell her "Stockton is going to come off you". Kerr's immediate repost was "If he comes off, I'll be ready". Jordan then finished off his Gatorade and the play unfolded exactly as he anticipated it would. Kerr was ready for the open 15 footer that Jordan told him he'd get and that was that. The Bulls won their 5th title.

[Mr Feeny]

They played Jordan straight up in game 1 and he scored the game winner on 1 on 1 coverage on Russel. Jerry Sloan didn't want Jordan to take the last shot, whatever happened.

Soooo.... gamewinner in game 1, 38 point flu game in game 5, and calls the winning play in game 6( Steve, they're gonna double off me and leave you open. Be ready for the pass) while putting up 39/11/4 in the clincher. Let's not forget 38/13/9 in game 2 along the way.

But MJ was saved in this series. You honestly can't make this shit up.

[Vino24]

False. MJ played 1 vs 5 for his entire career

[Hey Yo]

Isnt that the same postseason that MJ took 27fga to avg.30pts on 38% shooting in the ECF?

Notice how when someone made the go ahead shot other than MJ in the finals, it was always a drawn up play. When Ray Allen and Kyrie made the big shots, Lebron was getting bailed out and it wasn

The Heat were already up so no, that wouldn’t be a championship winning shot.

And literally arguably the famous shot in NBA history is a championship winning shot by Jordan..:oldlol:

[guy]

People ignoring this little nugget of truth. Had Kerr missed, the Jazz still would have needed to win Game 7 in Chicago against a pissed off opponent with championship experience and the best player in the game.

Ray Allen's shot saved Miami's season and prevented a huge black mark on LeBron's legacy. LeBron was allowed a chance to redeem himself in Game 7 because he was largely terrible in the previous 6 games outside of Game 4.

Not even. If Kerr misses that shot, the Jazz have to convert on the next play with a few seconds left or win in OT just to make it to game 7. In Chicago, the odds of that are still against them.

Jordan has never been

If Ray's shot misses, then there's still 5 seconds left in the game to get the offensive rebound and get the ball back out for another 3PA.

Tony Parker got a 12ft shot off in that 5 seconds after a timeout. Spurs had 2 chances (the other being in OT) and they still lost.

:oldlol: What are the odds on that? 5% at best. Just admit that shot saved the season, why be in such laughably blatant denial about it

I'm not in denial about anything. Just stating the blatant obvious that there was still a chance if Ray misses.

What were the odds of Reggie Miller scoring 8pts in 9 seconds?

Ralph Sampson making this shot with 1 second left?

So you reference 2 of the most miraculous sequences in NBA history to try to bolster your argument :lol

Ok, so they would've needed a miracle to tie the game, very legitimate odds on that happening

I'm not try to bolster anything. There's many other examples that could also have been used but those were just 3 off the top of my head.

All I'm saying is that they still would have had chance if Ray missed. Slim chance indeed, but a chance.

Not sure why that bothers you so much??

As much a chance as any other number of occurrences that may not end up working for Miami, or may. It's what if, it's luck, it's chance, it's incredibly shaky foundation for an argument. I'm planning on being rich tomorrow, if my lotto ticket comes through. I mean there's a chance, right?

He planned for Kerr to make the shot in the huddle before the play even started

That's how often he was doubled - he had complete control of the Jazz defense and played them like a puppet
