If you’re an old-time Cleveland Cavaliers fan like myself you might find the comparison surprising. The shot that was made Saturday night by Boston Celtics’ guard Derrick White to help extend their series against the Miami Heat to a Game 7 was a true buzzer-beater, and it made White the first player to hit a game-winning shot at the buzzer in an elimination game Michael Jordan hit the game-winning shot against the Cleveland Cavaliers back in the 1989 playoffs.
No dissing Derrick White, but what MJ did to the Cavs way back when has had a major effect on Cleveland fans.
