Item #3: What doomed the Jazz on that game was an unbelievable referee mistake that took away a very valid 3 pointer by Eisley. Count that, and Jordan's play would make no difference. Also, on that last attempt by Stockton, he got hit on the arm by Harper. Not that the ref was going to call one against the Bulls...
Item #1: The Stockton shot was like a four pointer (a lot further than 23 feet), so I wouldn't call it standard even in an exhibition game.

10 years later and I still say Jordan got away with pushing off Russell., that no call cost Utah the championship.

when Frank Layden walked past Pat Riley then stopped to comb his grey hair, or when Howard Eisly's three pointer was discounted even though it went in before the foul away from the ball, or Greg Foster making a throat slashing gesture as he ran past the Laker bench and their over hyped team.

How is the pass #10 and the dream punching some guy none of us rememeber (in a year that turned out to be of no significance) #2????

I think Brad Rock is just trying to show how long he's been a Jazz fan. But his list is ridiculous!

Remember this.... This years Jazz team WILL have one moment that takes over the number one spot! I'm not sure, but don't be surprised to see Deron dunkin on Duncan in the western confrence finals!

Dude, go back and watch the game Rock is referring to. The Pass is a full court, baseball style toss that Stockton threw just over the reach of Jordan. It was picture perfect.

Yeah, sure dude. If you didn't see it then it doesn't really matter anyway, right? Please, the Whopper was Paul Milsap before you or Paul were born. He singlehandedly took one of the twenty greatest basketball players of all time completely out of an entire playoff series. And that was when he was a "wiley veteran" and the Dream was just entering the prime years of his career.
What is ridiculous is your disregard for the history of the Jazz.

You miss the point. Matt Johnson is saying that "the Pass" should be much higher, and he's right. That was awesome.
