Michael Jordan has had a plethora of game-winners and buzzer beaters during his career. But have you actually paid attention to how all of those came be? Almost always all of MJ's late-game heroics came off of a simple pull-up series going to either the right or left. In this video we explain how being predictable actually made Jordan unstoppable when it came to these situations. Here we look at the 97 NBA Finals in which Jordan finished off the Jazz with a Gm.1 buzzer-beater and then masterfully recognized how the Jazz would play him in the close-out Gm.6 in the exact same situation. It's the same action, same dribble series, same hand and same result in the end - two wins...and a championship. When many people think of MJ they think of his jaw-dropping athletic ability but he was a brilliant basketball mind as well, especially as he aged. There is no better example than the 97 Finals. What's your favourite MJ buzzer beater? Comment below! Chances are it came off a pull-up going to the right or left ;)
