id like to see a clip of that b/c the only shot i remember of reggie hitting against the bulls with .8 left was in the playoffs and the pacers were down 2-1 and he hit a 3 to pull ahead. and then jordan threw up a prayer that bricked


Jordan's shot was far from a "brick." He threw up a double-pump 27-footer while floating sideways that banked off the glass and was halfway down (like 80% down, actually) before it rimmed out. LOL @ "brick."

LOL at trying to save face with that explanation. It was a brick. No style points awarded here.

A "brick" doesn't mean a "miss." It means a particularly bad miss. Which Jordan's shot was not. Nice try, though.

Dunno if it has been posted but, VC leaping OVER weis in the olympics is by far the most humiliating shot of all-time.

Hakeem's turning Robinson inside out, tying him in a knot and then leaving him for dead has to be it for me.

A freaking center starts off with a cross-over, sudden stop, fake, pivot, fake, pivot again and up and under all in one smooth movement.

Given the situation, the fact that he did it against the MVP and arguably most athletic big ever, and given the sheer and multifaceted aesthetic and athletic beauty of the thing...it just doesn't get any better than that.
