It’s been 25 years since Michael Jordan played his final game with the Chicago Bulls.
It was one heck of a performance as Jordan led the Bulls to their sixth NBA title over the Utah Jazz. He did it all, especially in the late stages of the game.
He first hit a layup to pull the Bulls within one (86-85) before the true magic happened. With the Bulls down one with less than 20 seconds left, he stole the ball from Karl Malone and started dribbling up the court.
He then used a crossover dribble on Bryon Russell and hit a shot just inside the three-point line to give the Bulls an 87-86 lead with 5.2 seconds to play.
It gave the Bulls their third-straight title and their second three-peat overall.

Fans remember this moment like it was yesterday.
One of the most iconic #NBAFinals images.
Willis Reed, who dramatically emerged from the locker room minutes before Game 7 of the 1970 #NBAFinals also produces chills. Before my time but it's a jaw dropping moment. But yeah #Jordan. Yo. #GOAT https://t.co/ZfljUzeZV8

Small (but not insignificant) reason pointing to the game being more difficult back then. Watch MJ’s quick crossover to the left as he steps back and gathers for the jumper. Nowadays, he would be allowed to do that stepback without having to do that extra dribble. https://t.co/Ktd4IL0kpX

This is one of several reasons why fans think Jordan is the greatest to ever do it.
