There was nothing better than this dagger stuck so deeply in the heart of the Cavs. OK, well, kicking the Piston's butt on their home court and watching them walk off so ungraciously might have been better.
Poor Cleveland The Shot is one of many dramatic sports moments that have come at the expense of a Cleveland team for like : Red Right 88, The Catch, The Drive, The Fumble, The Decision, The Move and the 1997 World Series.
@Smiley5752 Eh? How is the browns getting sold a bad moment in Cleveland's sport history? First off we got them back, second off who the fuck cares they're a shitty team then and they're a shitty team now. I don't consider that a moment that deserves to be on the list.
well too bad cause it's still a part of a dramatic moment that just happen to come at their expense and stop with the complaining cause it's still going to remain there plus it ain't that serious to want to start an argument.
Yeah, I always felt bad for Ehlo too because he was a great player and he was forever only remembered for this. But such is the legacy of Michael; he dominated the 90's, and when there's winners, there has to be losers.
They've missed one game - 1995 IND ORL Game 4 Conf Finals, 4 lead changes in the last 13.3 sec with Shaq fouled out. Penny, Reggie, Smit etc best playoff game finish ever
This should of been a top 10 moment easily...I know it was a firt round matchup but if I remember correctly the Bulls were 0-11 against Cleveland that year and this was the shot that put MJ officially on the map across the country.
theehibachi, is 5 7, American and can dunk easily. what do you mean white guys can't dunk? It's simply about the training individuals do to get their particular leg strength to be high enough to dunk. But for me, I just used the exercising workout over at (50-inch-vertical[dot]com)
not only did that shot win them the game and series, but that shot shut down the cavs for a good few years. It wasn't until Lebron came along did they become a legit threat again.
Absolutely the best rendition of "No Competition" ever exemplified in the NBA! Everyone in the stadium and around the globe knew which player would get that ball, and there was nothing anyone could do to keep him from winning!
As a Pacers fan I hate the Bulls and I have hated them since they got MJ. The Pacers would've won the East FInals in 1998 if it weren't for Jordan in CHicago.
@CGtrojans11 A lot of teams would have won if it weren't for MJ and the Bulls. The Knicks, Heat, Pacers, Cavs would have probably won at least one title in the 90s.
Number 2,Sellers looked like he was trying to bone Micheal Jordan for making the shot, watch it a few times,He was overly excited,dry humping Michael Jordan,he was really getting into it.
The most famous buzzer beater of all-time. In the grand scheme of things - this shot was much bigger playoff moment than MJ's 63 point game. It should be ranked higher.
I read an article that Craig Ehlo wrote and he said this shot basically ruined his life. He hit a massive shot right before this to give the Cavs the lead and then he had to watch himself just get annihilated over and over and over on Gatorade commercials.
@jhutsal22 course less we forget (and most people dont know this) but ehlo wasnt expected to play in this game. If he didnt play in this game, he wouldn't have been the one trying to block his shot.
@DASCO2136, I think it's safe to say that if Ehlo hadn't played that game there would have never been "The Shot". Ehlo poured in 15 in the 4th quarter and made a fabulous go ahead layup with 3 seconds left. If not for his offensive effort the Bulls might have taken the lead early in the 4th quarter and never looked back.
Incidentally I happened to see that today, August 11th, is Craig Ehlo's 50th birthday and for some reason decided I had to go see The Shot again.
this should be # 1. probably the best buzzer beater in nba history. it is really difficult to control the ball when you jump like that. and if you think of the pressure in a game situation like that... just insane..
Occasionally I try to remember what it was like before I was able to dunk in bball . Ever since I followed the training program at snipurl[dot]com/nbatraining - my game has been improving dramatically and I'm even a starter now!
I always felt sorry for Craig Ehlo. He had a monster game that night and was making all the shots he never made, that 3was the game of his life...and then MJ comes and sticks it to him, making the series winning shot in his face. That is why the guy reacts so frustrated at the end...
Well that's what Jordan was known for. No matter how good the star on the other team was on a given night, he would erase all their hard work in the end, seeing as how MJ was the most clutch player in NBA history.
The thing is LeBron's shot didn't have NEAR the pressure. Jordan had failed to exit round 1 through this point in his career. This shot was in the final game of the series. This shot DECIDES the entire series, one shot. They were down by 1, if he misses they go home. Way more clutch than having an 0-2 hole which while bad, doesn't eliminate them.
i think you forgot the several "defensive player of the year" awards that jordan won. i do not see kobe and lebron winning those awards. so jordan was the great on both sides of the court. but seriously stop comparing those players, that was a completely different time with different rules.
Kobe has consistently been in the 1st team all-defensive his entire career. And that's very impressive considering guys like Bruce Bowen are in the NBA only for their defense, and monster centers like Dwight Howard in the paint.
Kobe should not be on all-defensive team. That's total biasedness...when has dude ever made a game sealing steal or played defense to where you think, I NEED his defense out on the court. They just give it to him just to do it! If he was anybody else but Kobe, he wouldn't make the 1st...I'd be hard pressed to even let him be second team. His defense is just not good enough.
Kobe making the all defensive teams in the early 2000's is downright questionable, but today in in recent years, he improved much and is no, a true, good perimeter defender.
First of all, Kobe makes it because he's popular, not because he plays solid defense. Second, there aren't many good defenders in the league, so sometime he'll make it by default.
And third, what the hell does Dwight Howard have to do with Kobe making a defensive team?
MJ has 6 championships and won Finals MVP in all of them. He led a 72 win team and has 3 MVP awards (he deserves way more because he dominated from about 88-89 to 97-98 with his baseball retirement being the only interuption). Lebron has 0 championshps and Kobe has 3 but was not the best player on those teams.
Kobe has no chance to catch Jordan because his title window is closing and Lebron I have my doubts, he has the talent but will he develop the post game to dominate?
Jordan played well into his 30's. Kobe is 30 or 31 and has 4 rings, and with the Lakers squad I'm sure Kobe's gonna get at least 2 more rings along w/ the finals MVp to boot
I agree with you 100%. Jordan shot ended their season and Lebron shot tied the series. A series that she should have been up 2-0. Now their down 3-2. If Lebron wants to be considered the best he has to win this series and win in the finals or they will all say he choked
who ever thingks lebrons better is fuckin insaine, MJ is the best there is, was, and will ever be. i'm a kobe fan and i'm not stupid enough to say he's better than MJ.
Someone said that was good defense, but the Pistons would never have let Jordan even touch the ball. Also, Ehlo makes the mistake of going for the ball when the correct move is to stick the hand in the face of the shooter. Odds are you aren't going to block it unless your first name is Hakeem, so try to obscure his vision.
how is lebron's shot harder than this shot by MJ? LOL lebron got the ball and just took the shot without being contested. MJ had to get the ball, dribble, jump while flying from right to left, hang and wait until ehlo landed then shoot the ball while coming down. How is lebron's shot harder than MJ's shot? LOL freaking mo-mos
hey all u ppl who keep saying lebon is better than MJ bcuz of that shot he hit on the magic...
dont forget lebron n crew blew a 23 point lead and that shot only TIED the series. the cavs were supposed to win that game
when jordan did it they were supposed to get swept by those cavs. this shot WON the series. so plz everyone get on lebrons nuts and give it up to the real king that no one can touch....MJ23
I'm not going to take anything away from Lebron's shot. Just the fact that there is even a valid comparison to make says something about how good it was.
All I'm saying is that to match the theatrical value of MJ over Ehlo, the celebration needed to be better, and at least one Magic player needed to look like they'd just had a coronary. Ehlo's reaction as that shot fell is a big part of what make the moment so legendary.
Lebron did have less time and it was a 3 pointer. But it is Jordan that we are talking about and he went on to win the whole thing. So I don't know. The thing is you got to look @ Lebron's shot 20 years from now.
My thing is Jordan's shot ended a series. A series the Bulls weren't supposed to win. Lebron's shot tied a series 1-1 that was not supposed to even be competitive, although if you've watch any of the Magic/Cavs games you'd know that the Magic had a better chance to win. But the Cavs are down 3-1 now in a series they were supposed to dominate, his shot meant nothing.
it was tougher but jordan's was more clutch. the entire series came down to his shot and he hit it. lebrons was sick but it meant nothing in the end. if the cavs win that series its one of the best shots in playoff history but they didn't.
is it his fault they didnt win. No he averaged 40ppg in the playoffs and they still lost. also if lebron didnt make this shot the cavaliers wouldve got zipped cuz it was 3-1 when cavs went back to home court. so meant nothing. it meant that lebron is here to take after jordan
lebron will NEVER be half the man or player jordan ever was even in his rookie year. if you think otherwise your a silly kid who probably listens to rap and sucks their thumb.
lol looks whos talking u thumbsucking shit ass. lebron wont be half the man jordan was. first of all he already is idiot. second of why do they call lebron the next jordan? curse them out then. also what proof do u have that jordan was better than lebron in his rookie year. jordans better but dont double lebron
I agree, great camera work. That made someone's career. It was like a right to left movie pan being able to capture all of the key elements of the play. It would have been a shame had Michael's initial reaction not had been caught on tape.
boy those shorts oh how the times have changed

MJ has 6 championships and won Finals MVP in all of them.

Lebron has 0 championshps and Kobe has 3 but was not the best player on those teams.
Kobe has no chance to catch Jordan because his title window is closing and Lebron I have my doubts, he has the talent but will he develop the post game to dominate?

Jordan played well into his 30's. Kobe is 30 or 31 and has 4 rings, and with the Lakers squad I'm sure Kobe's gonna get at least 2 more rings along w/ the finals MVp to boot

I agree with you 100%. Jordan shot ended their season and Lebron shot tied the series. A series that she should have been up 2-0. Now their down 3-2. If Lebron wants to be considered the best he has to win this series and win in the finals or they will all say he choked

Someone said that was good defense, but the Pistons would never have let Jordan even touch the ball. Also, Ehlo makes the mistake of going for the ball when the correct move is to stick the hand in the face of the shooter. Odds are you aren't going to block it unless your first name is Hakeem, so try to obscure his vision.

how is lebron's shot harder than this shot by MJ? LOL lebron got the ball and just took the shot without being contested. MJ had to get the ball, dribble, jump while flying from right to left, hang and wait until ehlo landed then shoot the ball while coming down. How is lebron's shot harder than MJ's shot? LOL freaking mo-mos

hey all u ppl who keep saying lebon is better than MJ bcuz of that shot he hit on the magic...
dont forget lebron n crew blew a 23 point lead and that shot only TIED the series. the cavs were supposed to win that game
when jordan did it they were supposed to get swept by those cavs. this shot WON the series. so plz everyone get on lebrons nuts and give it up to the real king that no one can touch....MJ23

I'm not going to take anything away from Lebron's shot. Just the fact that there is even a valid comparison to make says something about how good it was.
All I'm saying is that to match the theatrical value of MJ over Ehlo, the celebration needed to be better, and at least one Magic player needed to look like they'd just had a coronary. Ehlo's reaction as that shot fell is a big part of what make the moment so legendary.

They are actually trying to make Lebron's shot bigger than Jordan's. No, the media is reaching.

Lebron did have less time and it was a 3 pointer. But it is Jordan that we are talking about and he went on to win the whole thing. So I don't know. The thing is you got to look @ Lebron's shot 20 years from now.

My thing is Jordan's shot ended a series. A series the Bulls weren't supposed to win. Lebron's shot tied a series 1-1 that was not supposed to even be competitive, although if you've watch any of the Magic/Cavs games you'd know that the Magic had a better chance to win. But the Cavs are down 3-1 now in a series they were supposed to dominate, his shot meant nothing.

funny thing about it. its not even competitive, lebron has to be superman for 4 straight quarters for his team to win. so sad.

20 years from now I see a shot that did nothing but extend the series which ended up in a loss anyway.
20 years from now, I see Jordan's shot and see the famous fist pump, winning a a series that came down to one final shot.

it was tougher but jordan's was more clutch. the entire series came down to his shot and he hit it. lebrons was sick but it meant nothing in the end. if the cavs win that series its one of the best shots in playoff history but they didn't.
thesportsdude09 2 years ago
is it his fault they didnt win. No he averaged 40ppg in the playoffs and they still lost. also if lebron didnt make this shot the cavaliers wouldve got zipped cuz it was 3-1 when cavs went back to home court. so meant nothing. it meant that lebron is here to take after jordan

lebron will NEVER be half the man or player jordan ever was even in his rookie year. if you think otherwise your a silly kid who probably listens to rap and sucks their thumb.

Rap? Rap is a good genre, it just sucks in the mainstream now. 1980's and early 90's rap is gold.

I agree, great camera work. That made someone's career. It was like a right to left movie pan being able to capture all of the key elements of the play. It would have been a shame had Michael's initial reaction not had been caught on tape.
