Poem
The Chicago Bulls, down by two points in the game of their lives,
Looked to their leader, Toni Kukoč, to save them from their strife.
With time running out and the crowd on its feet,
Kukoč dribbled past his defender, and took a quick retreat.
He looked to the rim, and then he let it fly,
The ball left his hand, and soared through the sky.
It hit the rim and then it fell,
The crowd held its breath, and time seemed to dwell.
But then the ball went through the net,
The Chicago crowd erupted, and the game concluded.
The Bulls had done it, they had won the game,
And Toni Kukoč was the hero, and the MVP to be named.
He was lifted up by his teammates, and carried off the court,
As the crowd cheered and clapped, with emotions of all sorts.
The Chicago Bulls had won the championship,
And Toni Kukoč was the one, who had made it happen.
