:25:00
that was so special.
:25:02
By the hand of the Almighty
:25:05
We fowered
in this generation
:25:11
Triumphantly
:25:14
Won't you help to sing
:25:19
These songs of freedom
:25:23
'Cause all I ever had...
:25:25
When Michael came back,
:25:26
and Jud and I were driving
down to the game,
:25:30
and I said,"Jud, you know,
does Phil start Michael?
:25:34
I mean, he hasn't been here for,
you know, 60 games, 65 games."
:25:38
And Jud looked at me
And he said,
:25:40
"Steve, as a general rule,
:25:42
"when you have your own
statue outside the stadium,
:25:44
you don't
come off the bench."
:25:47
There'll be other great players,
there's no question about that.
:25:51
But what he's done
for the game...
:25:53
I don't think anybody
will touch his greatness.
:25:56
and that's why everybody's
holding on here in the finish...
:25:59
to just be apart of...
if this is the last run,
:26:02
everybody wants to be
a part of it and witness it.
:26:09
The Bulls had gone
to the finals five times,
:26:11
and five times they had won.
:26:14
The fact that this might be
Michael's last chance...
:26:17
made these finals
the most anticipated ever.
:26:20
The Jazz had earned
the home cour advantage...
:26:22
on the strength
of their regular season.
:26:24
And now,
the world tuned in...
:26:26
to see if Michael
could beat the odds...
:26:28
and win one last time.
:26:35
Right here, right now.
:26:37
Right here, right now.
:26:39
Right here, right now.
:26:41
Right here, right now.
:26:43
Right here, right now.
:26:55
Michael circles, spins,
hangs, fires, scores.
