Top 5 Gutsiest Shots in March Madness History
By Jacob Rude
2. Michael Jordan vs. Georgetown
What the last two shots we saw upsets sealed. The final two shots are in far more high-tense situations. In the #2 slot, we have one of the few game-winning shots in title game history. A mere freshman, Michael Jordan had not yet morphed into the player he would later become.
However, he was still incredibly talented, which is why he was on the floor with 30 seconds remaining and UNC down one. In what was later regarded as a great coaching decision, Dean Smith drew up a play not for superstars James Worthy or Sam Perkins, but Jordan. The freshman had just a moment of daylight, but it was more than enough for him to bury the jumper.
