The Shot Part II
Love tied game 7 at 114 with a tip in, over Noah, of a Lebron miss. 4.8 seconds remained on the clock. The Bulls called a time out. This is the call (not from the canned, wooden in game announcers).
"The inbounds pass comes in to Panko. He tosses it to McDermott, over his shoulder to Michael beyond the arc, flings it up....IT'S IN ...THE SHOT PART 2, OH MY!!!! 117-114 on Jordan's three. There's no stunned silence here in the United Center. They're going nuts! Cleveland has no time outs and .1 on the clock. They won't even get a shot. THE BULLS WIN!!!! Michael Jordan with 49 points hit the long three over Henderson. 26 years later the Shot Part 2... or maybe 3. Remember, Jordan hit the Shot in Cleveland in 1989, and he did it again in 1993. This time it's a game 7 after all the drama of this spectacular series. It's on to the 70-71 Lakers as Michael Jordan and the Bulls complete a season of frustration for Lebron. He almost pulled it out. He almost kept his promise. 36 for Lebron. But Michael said no!"
The Bulls win game 7 117-114.
