In 1993, a fan attends his first Bulls game in three years and simply because he’s wearing shoes that won’t scuff the court he is chosen to attempt a three-quarter shot for $1 million. The rest is history. BULLIEVING don’t cost a damn thing so NEVER TELL ME THE ODDS and GO BULLS for the PLAYOFFS!!!!

Jordan made sure this guy got paid for that shot. Yet another reason MJ is the GOAT.
That one Bulls player went to town on his ass with the smacking Jesus
Dude sinks the shot, in front of 20k fans, wins a million dollars, and gets a hug from MJ and the entire 93′ Bulls lineup.
Wow. This may be the best used 15 minutes of fame in the history of mankind.
Got paid more than pippen.
Jerry was probably pissed and has never ran that event again
And got a hug from Jordan, what a day.
I don’t know you, but after that last sentence I’ll run through a brick wall for you.
LETS GO BULLS
I totally remember this. This needs to be posted in r/nba they post those tiny half court shots. Raise them this! Kinda looks like a young Draymond Green
Left Pip hanging…lol
The guy who made the shot is my buddies uncle! Good guy.
Damn I miss the old stadium
Fast forward to 2023

Even the ref closest to him went nuts lmao
Totally random, but seeing that “Lettuce Entertain You” ad on the jumbotron was a major throwback
You love to see it, what a shot!
Lol no wonder fake ass LeBron hugged that guy after he made a shot in Miami. MJ did it first
