With just 5.2 seconds left in the game with the Utah Jazz up by one point, MJ crosses Byron Russell over to create a separation just enough to shoot a two-pointer from the free throw line of the court. It can be considered the ?most classic MJ move? ever, and Jordan making that 2-pointer was the most ?Jordan-like? moment in his career.?

Jordan did not hesitate to take the big shot in arguably the most important NBA game of his career. This buzzer-beater against the Utah Jazz forever sealed his NBA legacy, making him a six-time NBA champion.
