Re: Former NBA Ref says "Jordan's push off was an offensive foul..."
I thought it was a foul when I seen it but I guess you could go either way.

Doesn't really matter...Does anybody really doubt that Jordan wouldn't have gotten a shot off regardless and probably would have made it?

What do you mean? How can he get off a shot when they call a foul?

I mean if he didn't use the "alleged" pushoff/crossover and had to use another move instead.....
Not saying Jordan would automatically make every clutch shot because he didn't. But in that situation in that game, I would bet on him making the shot.....

Cheating to win, that is the mentality players need.

That shot was like a free throw cause there was no way the defender could recover.
He MJ could've made a move but it's not guaranteed to get him as open as that slight "push" did.

Refs would want MJ's autograph yet MJ stans today complain about LeBron getting favorable treatment.
As to the play in question, it may have been a foul but it was the NBA Finals and you want it to be decided on the court so not calling it was the correct thing to do. However, if it was called the Jazz likely win Game 7 which would be in Utah and Pippen was unlikely to be able to play.

Probably. But that was something everyone knows they let go late in the game, for anyone,: not just Jordan.

Stockton: Agreed.

If John ****ing Stockton isn't complaining, then everyone else should let it the hell go.
And shit, this happens all the time. Reggie Miller admitted to fouling him and;

no the refs/nba picks and chooses there fouls/nonfouls just look at that cp foul on the westbrook 3 at end of game 5, people usually say its playoffs refs aren't gonna call a foul like that at end of games, was literally one finger on his forearm then cp gets hacked and no call
