On this day in 1998...
Michael Jordan (45 points) gets the steal and buries the step-back jumper to clinch Chicago's third straight NBA title ๐
Last night, Jalen Brunson tied Jordan's record for the most points scored on the road in an NBA Finals-clinching game!

TWO TROPHIES. ONE HISTORIC SEASON. ๐๐
The New York Knicks are the FIRST team in NBA history to win the Emirates NBA Cup and an NBA Championship in the same season!
Jalen Brunson is now the first player in NBA history to win Finals MVP, Conference Finals MVP, and NBA Cup MVP.
In just one season, he became a Knicks legend.
HEARTWARMING: #Knicks superstar Jalen Brunson celebrating with his father Rick after winning the #NBA Finals.
Jalen and his father were emotional as they hugged on the court.
Jalen was doubted his whole life. Too small. Too short.
Hell of a story. Icon.
Jalen Brunson of the @nyknicks is the second player in NBA history to score 45+ points on the road in a title-clinching victory.
The other was Michael Jordan at Utah in 1998.
