Bulls High

This is one of my favorite Chicago Bulls' sequences ever. If Charles Smith of the New York Knicks can get the ball in the basket from 1 foot away...

The Knicks go up 3-2 in the playoff series.
Do the Bulls go on to lose the series?
After Michael Jordan retires that summer, does he come back?

That probably overstates the drama of it. But this much is clear: Charles Smith was denied FOUR times from close range, with the entire stadium screaming in support for him to put it in.

Horace Grant blocks the shot, Smith recovers.
Jordan strips the ball loose, Smith recovers.
Pippen blocks the shot, Smith recovers.
Pippen blocks the shot, Bulls recover.

Jordan's legacy was not a one-man show!
