Pippen got back a split-second too late, Davis released the ball and then Pippen made contact with Davis' arms on the follow-through. The shot bounced off the right side of the rim, and for the briefest of moments it appeared the Bulls were going to win the game. But Hollins had blown his whistle, a late whistle, just as the shot was approaching the rim.

"When I heard the whistle, it was like 'What happened? Who fouled?'" Pippen recalls. "I didn't think I had made a foul."

Technically a player is defined as being in the act of shooting from the time he goes up for the shot until after he has landed back on the ground. Except, as even Davis admits, "That's a call you normally don't get."

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

Bully Hendry would have signed Harper for 2.5 Billion over 30 years

That was an offensive rebound on a Jordan game winning miss. Also after 1994.

Jordan got those sort of calls all the time back then Kareem got the same call against Laimbeer in the Finals against Detroit. Now there was a phantom foul if ever there was a foul.

Hubie Brown said that it was "definitely a foul" and a former coach and guy that has been around the game forever I'd like to think that he would know.

Just like traveling. It was rarely called but that still doesn't mean that when they call it that it isn't such.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

If anybody wants to see some Willie May highlight, just ask Nas and he will provide you with some clips of his days with the Mets.

strong words by Reggie atthe end. "To this day" they believe they were the better team.

Not surprised at that. I believe I've heard him say that before. Looking forward to Episode 9 which will cover that series.

I was struck by how I knew the names and histories of all the players in this show, even the guys on the other teams, like a Bobby Phills but couldn't recognize half the guys on current NBA All Star teams.

Also, this series probably made Jordan a few hundred million more in sales

The ref that was on the floor at the time said that it was not a foul, and that it was a blown call.

Case closed.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

He hit him on the arm. That is a foul. I don't care what a ref would or would not have called. You get hit on the arm a d that is a foul. Always has been.

Just take the damn L and live to fight another day.

Don't die on that hill.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

Sam Smith talks in a manner where it looks like he is trying to speak while simultaneously smelling a nasty deuce someone has dropped on his foot.

His mouth does a lot of twisting and turning, it is quite peculiar.

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

Sam Smith talks in a manner where it looks like he is trying to speak while simultaneously smelling a nasty deuce someone has dropped on his foot.

It's not about dying on a hill. The only way that it isn't a foul is if he doesn't get hit. Nothing to really talk about actually.

No matter what the written rules say, fouls are discretionary, and the referee's discretion trumps the written rules.

Every time. That is The Law of The Land.

The referee who was one of the two on the floor, and who could have contributed to or overruled the call admitted that it was the wrong discretionary call.

Therefore, for all intents and purposes, he admitted that there was no actionable foul present. If you could rewind the game and they could make the call again, it would have gone the other way - admittedly.

Garretson even offers that Hue Hollins knew that he fucked-up:

"It had been a super game to that point. Hue felt badly about it. Sometimes we make mistakes, but we do a pretty good job overall."

Ok so Hue Hollins called the foul based on the rule book which means it was a foul. Just because Garrettson claims it wasn't in his opinion means nothing. The only way it "wasn't a foul" was if he didn't get hit. He did get hit and based on the rules it was a foul. If Hollins wanted to call it a foul then he was within his rights. The spinning on it is immaterial as he called the call based on the rules.

If anything it was bad defense on Pippen's part He was late on the rotation.

No bigger Bulls & Jordan fan than me, but that '98 Bulls team was so beat up by the time they met up against Indy that Miller was probably correct.

At full strength, no way, but, like I said before, after Games 1 and 2, I totally thought that we could very well - and deserved to - lose that series.

Nah. There is something called GUTS that sometimes finds itself with beat up very tired people. Others call it adrenalin but it is the same thing. The Bulls had that in some veteran and immensely tough players. Miller was great in that series and I can see his point but teams that on paper are better than their opponent very often lose. And the fact that basketball games are decided mostly be a few players in any given game, the Bulls had some players that could absolutely "rise to the occasion" better than pretty much every other team ever.

I always felt the worst thing to happen to Harold was the "Baby Jordan" tag. – George Raveling, Miner's head coach at USC

In 2011, Miner appeared at the Pacific-10 Men's Basketball Tournament, to be inducted into that conference's basketball Hall of Honor, and indicated he planned to attend the retirement of his jersey by USC later that year. He would later attend the retirement of his jersey by USC during half time of the game against UCLA on January 15, 2012.[5][6] Miner tied his previous seclusion largely to his disappointment with his professional career. Explaining his public reemergence, he said, I guess I feel like I'm over it now. I've kind of purged my system and come to a point of accepting what happened with my career: that I wasn't able to live up to my own personal expectations.
