Michael Jordan 44 pts vs. Cavaliers - "The Shot" - 1989 1st Round Game 5

[@lechokewisheshewasmichaelj3226]

Funny how MJ missed multiple free throws throughout the game and the previous game, but finishes the series with a free throw jumper at the buzzer. My favorite game

Bro 😆🤣😂 you right haha

[@drewlavay]

This series is a top 10 playoff series of all time

[@zmoneytmnt]

This was basically a game 7 too since the first rounds back in the day there were only 5 games so It's even more impressive considering he did it on the road.

[@wavyamar]

MJ is just insanely clutch. This man is on another level when it came to basketball. He's so raw here

[@willzsportscards]

a simpler time. love it.

This mark down the greatess nba moment ever!

[@jayelbee1111]

Michael Jordan averaged 44 points in the series against the Cavaliers. As good as Craig Ehlo and Ron Harper was, Michael Jordan simply outplayed them. He was virtually unstoppable.

[@Maal7432]

Joey Brooks Ehlo was not that good. You made it sound like he was on Jordan’s level.

[@dbzfan2521]

Craig Ehlo was a plumber. He averaged 7 ppg and 5 reb gtfo here this defense is atrocious.

[@jayelbee1111]

No, but Ehlo a was good defender in the series. Jordan acknowledged that, and took it as a challenge. The Cavaliers were a great team in the late 80s early 90s but Jordan just single handedly destroyed them

The 36 second mark is the fastest you'll ever see someone go from ~36 feet out to the basket. From when he starts to cross over it takes him 1-1.5 seconds to get from 35+ feet out to the basket. Incredible speed. Jordan is the fastest point A to point B player in history.

[@Alucard400]

@Alexander Kennelly Westbrook can do it pretty fast himself. The difference is, the first two mentioned guys don't brick it sometimes.

[@drewlavay]

They called him black cat for a reason.

[@bockjagne6598]

30 pts in one half of a game...just insane!!!

[@popeyeisgood]

the move at 2:04 is just pure poetry. no one can react so quickly to double triple team as fast as jordan. i dont remember a lot of other players( or any?) jumping side way not toward the basket when they attack. the ability to jump up so easily coming into a full stop is something out of the world. the way he is able to adjust his arm and wrist to lay the ball up so softy while jumping side way makes him the most crafty player ever.

[@ferescalona13]

Imagine Craig Ehlo feeling like the "hero of the day" for making the game winner of the series and a couple of minutes later Jordan making The Shot of the ages in his face to win the series, poor Ehlo

[@vCLOWNSHOESv]

Amazing give and go really but you can't give Jordan that much time.

One of those “moments in time”. I’ll never forget where I was when this shot went down.

Pre 1st retirement MJ is pure gold. There are only 2 people in the GOAT argument, MJ & Wilt.

[@manhbx96]

Michael Jordan is one of my favorite players ever

[@Dee-wv3cs]

I’m sure all the players were watching this game intently at the time, waiting to see him fail! Magic said he thought Cleveland would be the team to beat in the East, and you know everyone from Barkley to Isaiah had that game on somewhere! That was definitely one of Mike’s middle finger to the League games, in my opinion it’s one of his greatest games ever, and the game itself is one of the 10 greatest playoff games ever played. The ‘89 version of Mike is my favorite, he was literally at the peak of his powers during that season, playoffs included.

[@GoGetYourShinebox]

The way MJ played was so fluid in 1989, one of my fav versions of Jordan

[@nascarvintage17]

THE LEGEND CLEARLY for jordan

[@SeecretWeapon]

MJ actually takes FT a step back after he sees he's long on a bunch early never seen him do that

[@herntont]

Jordan gave a shout out to Anita Baker. “Giving you the best that I got”

[@ChrisSr84]

Who wouldn’t want a coach to react and join in on the celebration!? Awesome!

[@raidersreceiver8]

The way he splits the 3 defenders in the air is just amazing

Credit to the Cavs too for pushing them in back-to-back game 5 series.

Jordan averaged 40/6/8/3.0 SPG shooting 52% over 5 games. And those were very common stats throughout MJ's 51 playoff appearances

[@plcustodian]

Poor Craig Ehlo, he was a near hero only to get burned by a last second shot.

It's great to watch the shot and interview after watching the video shot by the local Chicago news guys. You can see them rush the court and even part of their mic during the CBS interview lol

[@truthserum333]

Harper wanted to guard him on the last play... good luck!!

[@williemoffett6090]

Can somebody explain when Doug collins was the coach Craig Hodges was a starter but when Phil took over John paxson became the starter at the point then it was BJ in 1993 I’m just curious about the change???

[@edsammon608]

Changing the guard, literally.

[@bw1190]

@willemoffett6090. Jordan never wanted to the point guard position and Hodges could not play point guard position and in 1993, Paxson was not healthy enough to be a starter.

[@bw1190]

@willemoffett6090. Also, when Phil took over they change the offense, which was better suited for Paxson.

[@clarkestevegil4085]

Thaigo santos vs hill, says Ronald and Jordan!

[@shawnyoung8752]

Why has Ehlo been blamed? The Cavs inbound play before was best inbound play i have seen from halfcourt. Jordan made a unreal shot. Ehlo was there. Mj just hung then shot. The best view is from baseline behind. Also who could guard him? Only 1 guy. That was cause it was the team not letting him into lane. Joe Dumars was only guy.

[@kevinrose4975]

Did KZbin and the NBA restrict this channel from loading full televised games?

[@bonez0014]

Damn, I didn't even know Ehlo put them up before MJ's shot, if MJ would've missed, things would've been a lot different.

each time jordan attack the basket its automatically foul. the defender cant come to close to him. even magic says"you cant come to close to michael its a foul.

[@spitshinetommy3721]

Jordan got a lot of calls, but the vast majority of the fouls in this game were legit. Compared to the insane tricky-tack shit that sensa James Harden to the line, MJ got a raw deal.
