Most famous picture in basketball?

For our fellow poster NE1, the Academy Award winning Space Jam




For the time, this was an image some Fans maybe never thought they'd see, because at the time, the Bulls just couldn't seem to get over the hump that was the Pistons. When they finally did it, it was Showtime; two live action Super Heroes facing off.

Yeah it kind of ended on a low-key note for basketball fans, but I believe this was the 90's Bulls most popular match-up, next to the Knicks Battles and the 96 Orlando Magic playoffs rematch.

Deserves an honorable mention....

Can't believe none of you said this. Sure, the Jordan ones are memorable but I mean this image here truly illustrates the essence of competitiveness in the NBA. And the NBA is all about competition.

In today's game, the play would immediately be blown dead, as this would be a foul.

Probably this...

The thing I love most about this photo is looking at the reactions on faces of the people in the crowd.

Was this the most watched finals series ever? How many millions of pairs of eyes were on Michael Jordan on this play?

Side note: It has taken me a decade to wipe the searing image of Jordan in a Wizards uniform from my mind. I'm now 99.9% sure this was how his career ended.
