Game 6 of the NBA Finals: Chicago Bulls (3) vs. Utah Jazz (2), 1998.
Jordan drove past the three-point line, executed a swift crossover, and nailed a 20-footer, putting the Bulls ahead 87–86 with just 5.2 seconds remaining.
This iconic shot marked the final play of Jordan's Bulls career, securing his sixth NBA Championship ring and is often regarded as the greatest moment in NBA history. The photo captures Jordan celebrating as the final buzzer sounded.
