November 23, 1991, meeting between the Chicago Bulls and the Denver Nuggets on the side of Mile High City. As the Bulls head for success (105-100 within 10 seconds of the buzzer), in the final seconds Denver sends Michael Jordan (37 points at 15/28) on the throw line. The latter enters the first then on the second lance to Dikembe Mutombo, who seemed to speak to him:
“Hey Mutombo, this one’s for you!” MJ
Recall that the trash talk between Jordan and Mutombo started with a statement from the pivot, who upon his arrival in the NBA had said that MJ, the current MVP, would never dunk on him …
MJ was a savage. ????#OTD in 1991, he didn’t even have to look to knock down the free-throw! pic.twitter.com/cIefGViPyg
