It was 21 years ago this week (November 20, 1997) that Michael Jordan played in his final game in Phoenix against the Suns as a member of the Chicago Bulls.
The game, and the lead up to his final shot, was as close and exciting as one would hope for the swan song of a great’s finale.
Chicago was short Scottie Pippen due to injury, but were still stacked enough with Jordan, Dennis Rodman, Toni Kukoc, Ron Harper, Luc Longley, and of course, Phil Jackson, to compete with the Suns who were still learning how to play with newly acquired Antonio McDyess.
