Context: Two seemingly identical shot but there’s a big difference.
1 – MJ shot, what is considered one of the greatest shot in NBA history. A game winner for C. Bulls’ 6th Championship for their 6th time in the Finals.
2 – Lebron shot, is the shot to pass Kareem as NBA All-Time Scoring Leader even though Lakers lost the game to the 11th seed Oklahoma Thunders.
Note: When Kareem Abdul-Jabbar broke NBAβs all-time scoring record (by Wilt Chamberlain), on April 5, 1984, the LA Lakers were contending and went to the finals against the eventual Champ the Boston Celtics.
