The good news for John Stockton is he’s not alone as one of the greats who lost the NBA Finals to the greatest of all-time. In Stockton’s only finals appearance in 1999, thing were looking good. The Jazz were up on the Bulls 86-83 in game six with 40 seconds left after Stockton made a three-pointer.
Michael Jordan took over after that, scoring two field goals to give the Bulls an 87-86 lead. Stockton found himself with the ball in his hands to end the game and missed the most important shot of his life. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2009.
