Dead-Set Ledge Status:
Assured! C’mon mate, the GOAT hit a Finals-winning shot over him AND shit-talked him in his Hall of Fame induction speech!! Sure MJ might’ve pushed off him like was that sentient potato Jason Dunstall setting off on a lead in ’92, but Flyin’ Bryon was also reaching, and still no one would remember bloody Bryon Russell otherwise… so how lucky is Bryon that he was a part of NBA history!? If Stockton & Malone are the Matt Corby and Shannon Noll of NBA history, Cryin’ Bryon’s at least the bloody Bobby Flynn of NBA history!
#ONYA Rusty!
