The last shot of his Bulls career. When that shot fell I almost Shed a tear because I knew his career was over. Gave me chills.
Apart from "The Last Shot", I'd have to say his return 1st return to the NBA, after baseball. My favourite move would be in a Knicks game. He was double teamed by Starks and I think Oakley. He had already picked up his dribble, had his back to the basket and faked going away from the baseline. Instead he turned and went baseline and then dunked on Ewing. Oh god now seeing that gives me chills EVERY time.
I remember watching one play, I think it is on the ultimate Jordan DVD, where a Bulls player was at the free throw line (Pippen I believe) and he misses the second free throw and Jordan comes flying out of nowhere for the putback dunk.
Wow, I honestly thought this would be more diverse well my favorite moments outside of “The Last Shot” have to be “The Shrug” in game one of the 1992 finals. After hitting six three pointers in the first half Jordan turned to the TV camera’s and shrugged like he didn’t even know he was doing it. It was just a moment that for me humanized Jordan a bit and allowed people to relate to him. My second favorite moment has to be the game he played with the flu in the 1997 finals against Utah scoring 38 points in route to a 90-88 Bulls victory including the tie breaking three pointer with 25 seconds left in the game. Of course there are plenty of moments to choose from though his 61 points in the Garden, his crazy lay-up, free throw line dunk, Jordan hitting the jumper to beat the Cavaliers, etc.
^^dang it i was gonna say the shrug. Another great moment was when MJ dunked on stockton i beleive or someone small, and i guy sitting courtside called him a pansy or something, so teh very next play MJ dunked on the biggest guy on teh court, and when he came running back, asked if that guy was big enough for him.

My first is the Utah moment lol. 2nd is when he had the flu... and whhe scored a ton against the Cavs or Celts? I forget the other team.
I have the Ultimate Jordan DVD so I guess I've seen all of his great plays...However, a few stick out: 1. I think in his rookie year against the Royals (?...light blue jersey wearing team)...he got the ball on the left of the baseline...and he flew in the air...and I think he TRIPLE-pumped the ball in the air, cause he faked 3 different defenders in the air...and layed it in reverse....when I saw that the first time I couldn't believe it...I remember even the opposing team bench (they were in the view) all were in shock.. 2. This isn't really a moment, but I'd have to say the whole 1995-1996 season defines his legacy. He quit the game, came back only to get embarrased in the 1st round by a Nick Anderson steal and had people EVRYWHERE doubting him. The next year, he goes back to 23 on a regular basis and his team wins the most games in the history of the league, he picks up the MVP AND his team wins the NBA Finals...I dont think there can ever be a better 'comeback' then that...that was on another level. 3. The block on Ewing. Nasty. 4. Showing Mutumbo that he can make a free-throw with his eyes closed. Classic.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Junoon:</div><div class="quote_post"> 4. Showing Mutumbo that he can make a free-throw with his eyes closed. Classic.</div> That reminds me. When Mutumbo calls out Jordan saying Jordan has never dunked on him. Next game Jordan dunks on Mutumbo and waves his finger at him. Now that is classic.
