When former Chicago Bulls guard Michael Jordan made his iconic championship-winning shot over Utah Jazz forward Bryon Russell in Game 6 of the 1998 NBA Finals, it was the end of an era in more ways than one.
Jordan was 35 years old when he led the Bulls in scoring in the last of their six championships. Since then, no player at that age has been the leading playoff scorer for a champion, and only one other NBA club has been led in postseason scoring by someone 35 or older: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the 1984-85 Los Angeles Lakers at age 38.
