Seriously ESPN?

i haven't been watching (obviously), but are you SERIOUS?

what were the arguments they gave?

tim kurjan of all people basically said mj was shooting over a smaller guy, while lebron was "only semi-squared to the basket and shooting 3ft behind theline over a 6'11'' guy"

They said it was better than Jordan's shot over EHLO

Get your $%@+ straight

I coulda sworn they played the last shot clip...maybe I'm wrong

its not better than any of the jordans shot mentioned.
over russell pushoff or no pushoff gave them their 6th ring
over ehlo eliminated the cavs while bulls being the underdog.......
cavs shouldn't even be in this situation based on how they played throughout the playoffs/home record.
