Utah Jazz: Judge Rules That Michael Jordan Pushed Off on Bryon Russell

For fans of the Utah Jazz, June 14, 1998 is a date that will forever live in infamy. It was the day the music died for a generation of Jazz fans; the day of Game 6 of the ’98 NBA Finals versus the Chicago Bulls.

Despite heading into the fourth quarter with the lead, Utah ultimately lost the game and their chance at the title on a Michael Jordan jump shot with 5.2 seconds remaining. If you aren’t old enough to have seen it live, you’ve probably seen it since. The game is replayed ad-nauseam on NBA-TV and is one of the most memorable plays in league history.
