NBA: Top 5 Ankle Breaking Crossovers of All-Time

#1 Michael Jordan - 1998 NBA Finals Game 6 vs Utah Jazz

This was Jordan's sixth and last NBA Championship

The 1998 NBA Finals marked the first time since 1989 that the same two teams met in the Finals in consecutive years.

With the Jazz leading 86-85 with 18.9 seconds to play in the Game 6 of the NBA Finals, Michael Jordan stole the ball from Karl Malone in the post. He dribbles down the court and uses a crossover dribble to lose Byron Russell to nail a 20-foot jumper for an 87-86 lead with 5.2 seconds to play. It was MJ’s inhuman crossover that sent defender Russell rolling on skates and gave the GOAT enough space to break Utah’s hearts for the second straight season.

It was the last game Jordan played with the Chicago Bulls and gave his Bulls legacy a fitting ending. His Highness scored 45 points and hit the game-winning basket with 5.2 seconds left.

What makes this play even special was the pressure on Jordan to make the right play with the clock running out with the title on the line. And His Highness delivered at the apt moment. In a repeat of the previous year's Finals, the Bulls won the series 4-2 for their third consecutive NBA Championship and their sixth in eight seasons.

Jordan won the Finals MVP for the 3rd consecutive year and for the sixth time in his career.
