Remembering the Jordan steal in the ’98 NBA Finals

First off I want to salute my homie Chuck for making me go back in my memory banks talking about the steal on Twitter Sunday afternoon.

When you think of Jordan Game 6 versus the Utah Jazz you always remember the shot and rightfully so, that was an important shot and helped seal the deal for the tired Chicago Bulls for three peat. We love the Jordan push off on Russell for the bucket, but if you scroll your memory banks you will remember the steal Jordan had on Karl Malone gave the Bulls a chance. Jordan caught Malone napping when he was receiving an entry pass on the baseline when he left his man for a swipe. Malone in the Jazz had a chance to push the lead to at least 3 points with less than 30 seconds left, but the sneaky move by Jordan changed history as we know it.

I found the video, the steal happens around the 3:30/4 minute mark check it out and let us know if you remember the play.

Quick question why did Stockton shoot a three when they were only down 1?

The Bulls beat the Jazz on the road 87-86 and the rest is history.
