Michael Jordan last 3 minutes in his FINAL BULLS GAME vs Jazz (1998)

[Applause] Stockton on Harper down to MJ for three its shirt hornacek taking it ahead to Russell but wake up with whatever gas is left in his tank gets back to pick it off [Applause] Ruttman offensive foul on Dennis [Applause] what you're talking about that screen and make passive you can't finish and you saw Jordan right there complainant said Robin meet need to have sent and it needs to have a chance to come down I thought it was a question of a bow when you look at this plane right Jordan come up the screen in these double-team and as an offensive player you're allowed to establish position to come down it's a tough call right there [Applause] [Music] Ohno says Michael but cows buy a basket well remember last year in Game four Stockton to Malone that won the game the long pass over the fingertips of Michael Jordan stock doing the gray pass Michael just misses it and Malone gets the layup Billy to seal the win one moment to go are we going to see the same thing here a chance to go up for hornacek throws the pass and Michael Jordan with every ounce of energy that he has goes up and gets the skill he misses the shot the three they would have come up gone Michael gets back and makes the great steel Jordan has 37 points on 13 of 32 2 of 7 in the course he is 3 of 14 in his last two fourth quarters even Superman apparently gets tired Malone lots of room he's going to post and screams for Stockton then he rolls out it's a huge jump shot [Applause] Thorton spinning double-team has to get rid of it gets it right back from Pippin double flip knocked away by car and a foul I said normally on this claim along goes to the post this time he goes in screen some Stockton can get to the middle of the floor a mix up they trapped no one rotates and Malone buries the shot that was his defense in possession hornacek I thought should have run it Michael Jordan and made him pass the ball back to Scottie Pippen we gotta take the ball out of Jordans hands right now and make Harper a pip and Beach at Thunder perimeter Jordans 9 of 12 now at the strike now you look at the job that Russell is doing against Jordan he's keeping him out on the perimeter not allowing him to come into the post he hits them both making it a two-point game with exactly two minutes to play [Applause] huge rebound tried to throw it off Rodman's leg as he was walking a tightrope and couldn't do it Chicago back looking to tie [Applause] Michael short rebound Stockton the jumpers come up short when it's true of anyone even the best over Rockman got in front and knocked it loose but Chicago touched it last Phil Jackson hot over that call a minute 14 remaining what's hornacek on this play wrapping off a triple screen Stockton for three that would have been a dagger in Chicago's heart instead they can tie it or take the lead with a three of their own Georgie and a blocking foul stopped in his down on the floor Jordans going to come to the line at Stockton Sports what you watch Jordan fake like he's coming to the middle again Russell gives them the baseline Stockton comes over a little too late called the blocking foul on Stockton Jordan again at the free-throw line Chicago takes a 20-second timeout [Music] now you watch Jordan in the fourth quarter trying to get to the basket against Anderson pulls up and takes the jump shot again to keeping him out on the perimeter not allowing him to get it to the post coming to the foul line for his patented free throw line Jay but again Russell keeping them out of the funk pulls up shoot to the little short this is a big 20-second timeout for Chicago because it allows Jordan to get some rest before he goes to the free-throw line to try to knock down two and the line is 10 of 13 from the floor he's 13 of 33 well in this fourth quarter Michael is only 2 of 8 from the fourth quarter but what he's done is he's been able to get to the free-throw line he's 6 is 6 so he's shooting his seventh and eighth free throws of the quarter they've got to find a way to be able to guard he without fouling him here he cuts it to one phil jackson has told the bulls during the last couple of timeouts let's try to take it to the rack go to the basket not look for the perimeter shot Jordan ties it maybe the 20-second timeout was as much as anything just to give him a breather to gather himself with a crucial free-throws 50 seconds alone cross-court Stockton a3 [Applause] now Ron Harper is guarding Stockton who cuts through skipping us on a double team so what what happens now Stockton's on a circle through an Antoine Carr dives down so her perhaps to play him now on the Skip out pass Stockton hits the three what a huge shot to put his to put a team up green looks look how close his foot was to the line here a three by inches [Applause] now this electron has long had to do he had to find the open man and Harper runs at him and normally it's Stockton in Malone this time it was Malone de Stockton ten points to Stockton at age 36 he's played more NBA playoff games than anyone in history without winning the title now the Bulls would like to get to the one possession here trying to get a quick score get to the free-throw line to give them two opportunities to one they've been in the Jordan Michael working on Russell brings them to within one it's Gordon it in four seconds there that's how quickly that changes that now it puts a price on the Jazz to score once again so it with 43 [Music] Ilana's double they spotted him stealing care from chicago 17 seconds 17 seconds from gate 7 or from championship number 6 open Chicago with the lead it's climb out Utah 5.2 seconds left Michael Jordan running on fumes with 45 points at the end of the game you gotta get it out of his hands [Music] he's beat you so many times your watch Jordan played ugh and you know that at the end of the game he's a killer this was really the play that hurt Isiah because they scored so quickly Michael got in there scored within four seconds and what and what happened was Michael doubled back you're going to see he's in the play look for a Warren a second setting the screen Michael never clears so Malone doesn't see him he comes from The Blind Side and strips him so three crucial plays here by Michael Jordan now if he gets Brian Russell with a quick crossover look at Brian Russell slips and Michael pulls up and buries the shot to give him a one-point lead that may have been who knows what will unfold in the next several months but that may have been the last shot Michael Jordan will ever take in the NBA what Jones left hand here as he gives Russell to put referee can't see that Jordan frees himself up for three look the greatest thing about Jordan is he has all the tricks that's why it's so difficult to garden if that's the last image of Michael Jordan how magnificent is I don't you can put it into words Bob I mean what he's done here in this fourth period you see the 16 points he got about a minute rest and had to come back in and scottie pippen and played a goody-goody game today but still plenty of time here for Utah to try to score so that's what Jordan is so smart at with his brains he rested on defense so we would have enough energy down the stretch to perform all right 5.2 seconds Utah down one coach well you've got it you've got to do one of two things you bother you either got to get the ball to a guy where you can attack the basket Utah loves to run a place at the top where they rap a guy to the corner and then ten down and catch at the top you don't alone gets it they're probably going to run at him Stockton and hornacek have made key shots their entire career stopped it hornacek Antoine Carr spar Malone and Brian Russell if they score there's a game seven if they don't for the second straight year they go out at six stopped it Harper's on it behind the screen Harper got a piece of it [Applause] one there six NBA championship and it's their second 3p [Applause] when you lose by this narrow margin speaking of the Utah Jazz there are so many things to look back on but the howard eisley free that was taken away in the first half will eated them all summer long [Music] Jackson enjoy paper perhaps for the last time [Applause] Chicago 87 Utah 86 [Applause] jerry sloan show in class trying to shake hands with each and every member of the Chicago Bulls who won two out of three here and two out of three in Chicago [Applause] [Music] statistically especially in terms of shooting percentage Michael Jordan has had better games but when you consider at age 35 the games he's played busy but grinding minutes he's played and Scottie Pippen being all but incapacitated tonight and the fact that they're on the room and the fact that the odds would shift to Utah's favor for a game seven yes MJ Rose again

Losing never crossed this guy's mind...that's why he's the GOAT. Always found a way to win.

Since it turns out Jordan is an a-hole... I kinda hoped they would've lost.
