It\u2019s a moment frozen in time that is the <\/span>best play in NBA history<\/span><\/a>. In what was Michael Jordan\u2019s last shot before retiring for a first time, Jordan sunk a 17-foot game-winner with 5.2 seconds left. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ultimately the shot would decide the 1998 NBA Final, seal a second three-peat for Jordan and the Bulls, and was his last ever shot playing for Chicago.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a hang time of 0.92 seconds, Michael Jordan\u2019s Last Shot encapsulates the player Jordan was in a single moment. The greatest player in NBA history<\/a>\u00a0he was able to defy gravity and hit game-winning clutch shots like no other.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve all seen the shot. Following a layup, Jordan had got the Bulls to within a point with 18.9 seconds left following a layup. <\/span><\/p>\n

Fate again determined Jordan\u2019s legacy of dominating the NBA as he followed it up by stealing the ball from Karl Malone and snatching Malone’s best chance of ever winning an NBA championship in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the clock wound down Jordan dribbled the ball up court. After a quick crossover dribble on Bryon Russell he hit a trademark clutch 20-foot jumper which became Jordan’s 25th and final game winning shot for the Bulls.<\/span><\/p>\n
