I'm not sure I'd pick a fight with Scott Burrell...

Scott and MJ are pretty close. MJ liked Scott and felt he was very talented but injuries hurt Scott’s career. They still get together.

Clickbait.

Saw this and thought “Why would Hawkins say that to Burrell?”

Here is a good link concerning Scott and MJ in "Last Dance". Includes clip of Burrell's looping pass to Tate.

Opposite for me - no thought of Hawkins entered my brain. Either its because:

a) I watched the Last Dance, so I knew this sounded like MJ or,
b) time to get out my walker bc Jordan will always be synonymous to MJ first for me

Probably both

That full court pass video never gets old no matter how many times I watch it.

I totally agree. I watched it a few times this morning and the emotion still remains high. I remember watching that game and seeing the 19 point lead disappear in the second half. Fantastic finish. Of course UConn fans were on the other side of that emotion two days later against Duke.

That Laettner shot ranks near the top of my all time rip your heart out game.

It was the play before that still guts me, only if Tate would have tipped it towards the other end . . . . . . . . .

Most frustrating play in UConn history. He anticipated the play and had himself an easy steal and booted it out of bounds. We had to wait nearly another decade to get to our first final 4 because of that play.

Coach K has said as much. If I remember correctly he essentially said to Calhoun, if you had won that game both are trajectories change a little bit.

That was the pass & shot sequence that taught me to NEVER give up on the team. At the time I was a kid, and was so distraught that they were down with 1 second left that I went upstairs to my bedroom to avoid seeing Clemson celebrate (what I thought would be) their win.

Then I heard my parents (the alums) and older sister going crazy, celebrating the UCONN win...

Dwight Freeney is the man, one of the only Cuse grads I like. Should've gotten into the Hall of Fame this year.
