    Default The 3 Greatest shots in NBA history

    Number 1




    Number 2




    Number 3



    Considering the moment, pressure, high level situation, clutch, reaction of the fans, repercussions, effects in the league, aftermatch events and difficulty of the shot....are this the top 3?

    True. What makes it great is the whole sequence from making a layup to stealing the ball from Karl then the love tap to Russell for the easy jumpshot and breaking everyone's heart in the Utah arena.

    This...gotta put the shot into context and this makes it even greater.

    Also, Pippen left the game with a back injury and would have been either questionable or limited if it went to game 7. That was more a Game 7 for the Bulls than most people remember.

    MJ's final shot against Utah is #1. It was legendary, way to end his career as a member of the Bulls and it sealed their claim for their 6th championship. Would have been more epic if he didn't return to play for the Wizards, but what can we do. He was over competitive and still wants to prove something at the age of 38 - 40. Old man schooling kids.
