No justice no peace.

Jordan makes what should be the shot to force a 4th OT(yes...4th)....and gets the strip on the attempted game winner on the other end....only to be called for a foul?

Gets ejected and the Jazz hit 3 fts(shooting foul plus the tech) for the win. A bad night for MJ in general(34 points on 34 shots) but I maintain there was no foul and the headbutt was justified. Crowd went crazy when Jordan was ejected though.


Utah was punished for its insolence years down the line when they finally made the finals.

Now the only image anyone remembers of a game in Utah is...you know what? It dont even have to say it. You know the one. Its THE one. The ONLY image in your head of a Jazz game being played in Utah.

That fact is the basketball gods punishment for daring to treat the king of kings with such disrespect.

Looks like he hit him on the leg. Foul.

[superduper]

Jordan overcame all of the odds that were heavily stacked against him.

Crazy.

GOAT.

Looks like he hit him on the leg. Foul.


Dont think I cant get you touched on MJs behalf in Florida. Stalker would come headbutt you for me at your front door for 150 dollars and a Nintendo switch for his kids right now.

[Mr Feeny]

That's a ridiculous call. Not even ticky tacky. Looks clean. And with the game on the line?

[superduper]

He may have gotten the leg, is there a better angle/resolution?

I was joking about the leg foul and this idiotic poster directly above me is taking it seriously...

[Kblaze8855]

Only other angle:

He did actually(well...probably) touch his leg after he stripped the ball clean. You just dont generally see that called in that situation.

[bigkingsfan]

Ref gave him all kind of leniency until MJ bump him.

I know he hit the leg. It has nothing to do with the play and it's inconsequential. I was just looking for a reason to argue against you.

That idiot is taking it seriously though.

[stalkerforlife]

MJ also looked to headbutt the ref.

Lol.

[Stringer Bell]

I remember them showing this on Michael Jordan Air Time.

[ArbitraryWater]

lmao, ref didnt wanna do shit until he felt that head bump in on him

People have no idea, or simply forget how much MJ had to do down the stretch of games

Now one in history had to carry his team in the clutch like MJ.. It isn't remotely close.. phil Jackson said during a Finals game: "don't leave Michael all alone here. It's not time.. YET (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOgJhzj4W9M&t=30m20s)".. No one in history was expected to carry his team in the clutch like MJ

Where was Pippen in that clip??? - nowhere, thats where - because he was never tasked with closing - only MJ was - he never had a teammate that was perceived as a lethal scorer and closer like Wade or Kyrie are... Only mj never had a teammate that commanded a double-team

the stats in the previous post show that old MJ took nearly 20% more clutch attempts per game than Lebron or Durant, and converted at a significantly better clip... :bowdown:

Why am i saying all this about mj's clutch burden? Because anyone with such a burden is bound to snap once in a while, like the clip Kblaze posted.. so he gets a pass from me..:rockon: ... And the refs blew that call anyway against the goat 2-way player, obviously .
This shit has literally nothing to do with the OP :lol

Yeah it does

MJ's goat burden was stressful and my posts provide that background
