This amazing shot even made news here in Australia when it happened.
April 14, 1993: Chicago Bulls fan Don Calhoun attends his first Bulls game in three years and throws in a 75-foot shot that wins him $1,000,000.

Per Sports Illustrated, Calhoun was selected to shoot because a Bulls employee felt his “suede hiking boots wouldn’t scuff the court."

A rare Clyde Drexler jam. Living up to his nickname.

"Take it from the Jordans. Stay in school". Michael's family with a rare on-camera appearance.

This was likely recorded after the Chicago Bulls' 1991 title / before the 1992 season. Corrections welcomed.

Thank you, Jack. Happy holidays!
This is great news for NBA fans!
I'm making calls so that 2025 is the best year yet for my NBA history podcast. This year was inconsistent with episode releases, but I'm excited to turn that around. Wishing you happy holidays, and thank you for your support!

Bob Love overcame a severe speech impediment in his 40s. He turned adversity into triumph, becoming a motivational speaker and the Bulls' community ambassador.

He was a 3x NBA All-Star in Chicago. I was fortunate to meet Bob in 2020. RIP, Legend.
