Jordan Hits "The Shot"
Sport: Pro Basketball
When:: 5/7/1989
Jordan ripped plenty of hearts out on his way to becoming arguably the NBA's G.O.A.T., but Cleveland bore a disproportionate brunt of the pain. MJ started shitting on the Cavs in 1989 by eliminating them from the playoffs with the game-winning jumper simply called "The Shot." Everything about is legendary: MJ's unbridled passion, Craig Ehlo's crumbling to the ground, Doug Collins' reaction, and the celebratory mob of Bulls. It's the stuff that Gatorade commercials are made of!
Big play!

You know whats more bad ass then my Heisman pose, when I got absolutely shutdown by Washington in the Rose Bowl. Then when Mario Bailey scored he striked the pose, that hurt.
