1. “The Last Dance”

Most knew it was over.

Even before Jordan stuck one final dagger in the Utah Jazz during Game 6 of the 1998 NBA Finals, he knew it was over.

The dynasty was over.

Jordan’s left-elbow jumper over Bryon Russell with just a slight push-off, gave him 45 points on the night and the Bulls a 87-86 lead. The jumper clinched the Bulls’ sixth NBA title in an eight-year span.

While Scottie Pippen could hardly walk due to a lingering back issue, Jordan took on basically, the entire offensive load, but it was his steal of Karl Malone‘s last post-up the possession prior to his shot that sealed the deal.

It was over, but the Bulls etched themselves into NBA lore as arguably the greatest (non-Bill Russell Celtics) dynasty in the history of pro basketball.
