5. Michael Jordan
| Picture the last NBA shot he took (against the Utah Jazz in Game 6 of the 1998 Finals), and you have his essence. It practically broke the ankles of his defender, as so many of Jordan's moves did to so many defenders over his 12 1/2 seasons. It was dramatic, as was so much of his scoring in the clutch. And it won a championship, as he did six times for the Chicago Bulls in the 1990s. It's not axiomatic, you know, that someone will always come along who's better. |
