Of all the famous buckets Michael Jordan sank, only one of them is iconic enough to be known simply as “The Shot.”
His midrange jumper over Craig Ehlo at the buzzer to beat the Cavs in the first round of the 1989 playoffs is remembered just as much for Jordan’s fist-pumping celebration after the shot went in. If you had three clips to sum up MJ’s career, it would definitely have to be one of them.
Any sports fan, even those born after “The Shot” (like me), has seen that video a thousand times. It’s a classic NBA moment.
