  • One of the few times Jerry Sloan has actually smiled xD

    I feel bad for sloan.. he's probably the hardest working coach in the NBA and he's never won a title.

  • Looking at this game, I am wondering how the hell did you leave John Stockton that wide open. Are you serious?

  • All I remembered about this shot was that Barkley was really late to rotate on this shot. What I didn't see back in 1997, though, was that Karl Malone was pretty much doing his best Anthony Munoz impression.

  • @ACORNSUCKS Indeed

  • @21ollej He did everything but win a NBA title. Always got the most out of his players.

  • malone held him, jordan pushed off, whatever! they're all great plays.

  • @dtruth07 Yeah I remember reading after the game, Drexler complaining about Malones moving screen. He also suggested Malone grabbed him, on the replay he is right. Barkley was slow on the switch though. Despite that, I am still in favor of the players decideing the game not the refs, so I think I will let this pass.

    Barkley after the game called John Stockton one of the five top players he ever played against.

  • @jfliguy They didn't leave him open, if you look closely Malone HELD Drexler during that out of bounds play they ran. So Drexler couldn't get to him and Barkley couldn't switch off Malone in time.

  • OK. Given that Malone gave that moving screen... and yes, a referee would never call that with 2.8 seconds in the game... give credit where credit is due...

    Stockton knocking out that shot...

    Remember when Reggie Miller pushed Jordan so hard, he became open and got the winning 3 point shot in the Pacers-Bulls playoffs? They could have called an offensive foul on Miller, but they let it slide... because why ruin the outcome of the game with a call. So, props for drilling the three... :)

  • was that really the play??? or was it a broken play????

  • I remember watching this as a kid as it happened. This left a bad taste in my mouth but it was a wide open shot.
