Michael Jordan 1989 Playoffs: Gm 5 Vs. Cavs, "THE SHOT"

In this series deciding game, MJ attacked the basket with his usual finesse/ferocity to make sure the Bulls advanced to the next round. This is the game that features "The Shot" - the famous hanging jumper we keep seeing in all those highlights and commercials. But, people forget that that shot merely capped yet another masterful performance. MJ attacked the basket like man possessed to get his 44 points the hard way. People also forget that the Bulls lost to the Cavs in all 5 games during the regular season so they were not expected to challenge them at all. MJ's 39.8 ppg, 5.8 rebs and 8.2 asts during the series made sure that the playoffs told a different story. As usual, when it mattered most, on national TV, Game 5 in the playoffs, MJ raised his play and continued his flair for the dramatic to add to his legacy as the greatest playoff and clutch performer ever.

He actually shot just 5 out of 13 in the 1st half but exploded in 2nd half, 12 of 19, including I think his last 4 shots all in the clutch, last 3 minutes or so. The last minutes of this game featured frenetic back-and-forth action. Incredible finish. NBA basketball was truly terrific then.

17 out of 32. 44 or 45 points. Pretty good. I saw this game live and came out yelling after THE SHOT and folks were wondering what the hell I was doing. After also seeing his 63 points versus Boston in 1986, plus this game, I knew: Jordan was destined to be the greatest ever in the game

the last shot in this video was "the shot" you are looking for.
char4ever (July 7, 2008 at 1:08 pm)

Whats the shot where Michael Jordan hangs in the air, makes the shot and after he makes it, he jumps in the air waving his arms around? Can anyone tell me that shot?
