the foul call was correct because the rules say you can't touch the man until he's back on the floor. if you touch him in the air, it's a foul. If you block the ball but land on him while he's on the ground, it's clean and not a foul
@klined That would be true if Stockton didn't initiate the contact with his off elbow. That was an offensive foul (and yes MJ got away with it on offense too). That was the wrong call
@Amir883 Absolutely a foul on Jordan. Watch the video again and look for the contact initiated by Jordan with his torso and Stockton's shoulder. The leg simply amplified the foul, which we all know Stockton was very good at doing. However in this case he was justified. Correct call.
@kabodkhwaamkhid Wrong, this video doesn't show the slow motion angle shot from the sideline that clearly shows MJ go up to block the ball and Stockton's left forearm/elbow initiating the contact with MJ's torso. Putting your forearm and or elbow into the defenders torso to push off and create space is not only not a foul on the defender, it's an offensive foul.
Like I said, however, MJ got away with it his whole career, so it's fitting in a sense.
People always mention that stockton and malone never won a championship. But other than the bulls and maybe the rockets, they were the most dominant team of the 90's. They were in the conference finals more than any other team in the 90's other than the bulls and would be champions if it wasn't for Jordan and Pippen. Championships aren't black and white. Lots of people who worked hard for championships never won one and lots of people who rode the pine have. Get over it. Stockton was great.
Ohhhh I wish that it wasn't a Foul on Jordan... Then this would be in NBA Top ten all time blocks.. It is so close.. I think stockton knew he was going to get blocked and stuck his arm and leg out a bit to take some contact.
Nice hustle by Jordan when he got stripped. Guarantee you some of today's star players wouldn't even jog back
