No moment was bigger than “The Mamba,” whose supreme confidence, outrageous athleticism and flair for the dramatic made him one of the all-time greatest closers.
True, the two-time NBA Finals MVP jacked up too many H-O-R-S-E shots over the years, many of them with multiple defenders in his grill. Yet no one drained more ridiculous money balls, either.
Really, who would you rather take those shots — Smush Parker? When the game is on the line, we want the rock in the hands of someone with big cojones. And nobody had bigger ones than this guy, Michael Jordan included.
