    and why?MJ over ehloMJ over RussellI'm going with Ehlo simply because it was at the buzzer and the reactions from everyone involved was classic [MJ,ehlo and collin's reaction were classic]. Even the words from the commentator are imprinted in my head.That shot was more difficult than MJ's offensive foul.

    I'm going with the one over Ehlo. They use both in commerials all the time and you can recognize them just from hearing the play by play. I pick over Ehlo because it was at the buzzer, he had only 3 seconds and i think its just better. The one over Russell, there was still time left on the clock and then there is the imfamous "push off" on Russell to get the open shot. I think if that was in todays NBA, that would of been called an offensive foul big time. I'm goin over Ehlo, plus i think its the more famous of the 2. Might be the most famous play by play call in basketball ever.

    I still feel for fans of cavs. Probably still haunts them.And i know this is going off topic, but does anyone know who called the play?'he looks, he looks, he gives to jordan, jordan at the circle puts the shot in the air, GOOD the game is over and the bulls have won"

    Russell. While the shot over Ehlo was a pure fluke, fading to the side from 20 feet, double clutch one in a million.... The shot over Russell was everything MJ had worked for. The pull-back dribble, subtle hand-check, the mid range jumper. It was eveything MJ stood for, and it was a great way for him to end his tenure with the Bulls

    MJ crossed up Russell pretty bad on that shot in Utah, which gave MJ alot of space to create his shot. It was good, but the one over Ehlo was great, because of the hangtime. The reaction of Ehlo was priceless.

    If Jordan hadn't come back with Washington there would be no arguement here.

    MJ over Ehlo. It will go down in history as possibly the biggest shot ever. Just the reactions after it were what made it better. Jordan jumping out the roof and Ehlo falling in tears.
