Happy 20th anniversary of Michael Jordan's game winning shot over Craig Ehlo in game 5 of the 1989 Playoffs against the Cleveland Cavaliers. They're playing the game in it's entirety on ESPN Classic right now! It's so hard to pick one of MJ's most memorable moments, but this one would have to be in my top 3! I absolutely love this memory in Chicago Bulls history.
And poor Craig Ehlo. I'm sure he's still waking up in cold sweats and with nightmares 20 years after! Thanks Mike.

    I must have tried that shot about 1,000 times in my driveway growing up. Love hearing Johnny "Red" Kerr screaming after it went in......

    was it really necessary to bring this up? it's well established cleveland is the worst city for a sports fan, we don't need constant reminders. although with any luck lebron will change all that this year. knock on wood

    Its crazy on all his jumps and jump shots he just seems to hang and float in the air. You don't see that grace at all anymore.
