3) Buzzer beating 3 against Magic while down 2 (Game 2 2009 ECF)
4) Buzzer beating layup against Pacers while down 1 (Game 1 2013 ECF)
5) Buzzer beating jumper against Bulls with score tied (Game 4 2015 ECS)
6) Buzzer beating 3 against Pacers with score tied (Game 5 2018 1st round)
7) Buzzer beating jumper against Raptors with scored tied (Game 3 2018 ECS)
MJ's should be:
1) The Shot against Cavs while down 1 (Game 5 1989 1st round)
2) 2pt jumper against Pistons with score tied (Game 3 1989 ECF)
3) The Shot II against Cavs with score tied (Game 4 1993 ECS)
4) Buzzer beating jumper against Utah with score tied (Game 1 1997 Finals)
5) Jumper against Utah while down 1 (Game 6 1998 Finals)
So 3 while trailing for LeBron. 2 for MJ.
Really, Jordan should be given credit for two clutch baskets in game 5 of 1989. He hit a go ahead shot with 6 seconds left before Ehlo hit his layup off the inbounds via Craig Hodges' blown defense. (Should be noted that Ehlo hit a 3 pointer before Jordan's first clutch shot, Ehlo was a clutch af down the stretch). Jordan's first clutch shot was over Larry Nance and quite possibly as difficult a shot as "The Shot." It's really unbelievable how clutch he was in that game. Can see it all here.

EDIT - BTW, I'm not arguing Jordan gets credit for two GWs against Cleveland, just that the true magnitude of what he did gets lost in the bright lights of the last shot. He also played great help defense on Ehlo's previous layup, coming a hair-breath away from blocking that lay up. He was basically just everywhere down the stretch of that game.

There's a reason he needs Wade and Kyrie to win.
