Michael Jordan's , "The Shot" 5-7-1989

- As a Chicago kid, it was a privilege to be working in Chicago sports media, during the truly Golden Era of the 80's and 90's....Sox and Cubs playoffs for the first time in forever, the amazing '85 Bears, and of course MJ and the Bulls...awesome ! So today, as Michael Jordan turns 50, and AARP drafts him into their ranks, I'd like to share what I consider the greatest shot of MJ's career. Many would say it was the jumper he hit in 1998 vs.Utah, to win ring # 6, his last game as a Bull. But I say it was, "The Shot", he took in 1989 vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers. Even though the Bulls didn't win their first championship until 2 years later, "The Shot" put the world on notice, the Bulls would soon be something special.
It was a best of 5 series, and the Bulls were up 2-1 going into game 4 in Chicago. Jordan virtually guaranteed a win prior to that game, but he missed a key free throw late, and the Cavs escaped forcing a game 5 back in Cleveland....where they held a 38-5 home record.
The game was on a Sunday afternoon, and I flew in that morning and drove straight to the Richfield Coliseum. As was his custom, Jordan would seldom go out for the pre-game team warm-up, so I went to the Bulls locker room, to find him sitting by himself. He asked me to see the Sunday papers I had with me, and asked what the buzz was back home. I told him most media folks gave the Bulls credit for a well played series, but it would be tough to win game 5 on the road, against a good Cavs team. He said, "we're not going to lose, come see me after the game". Ok M, see you then I said. Keep that conversation in mind as hear me lose it, after "The Shot" goes in.
What you're about to see is the final few baskets of a back and forth finish, and a classic shootout between Jordan and a very gutsy Craig Ehlo.This amazing footage was shot by the best sports cameraman I know, Chuck Davidson. Chuck, reporter Rich King, and I sat on the floor, as history played out before us.
Milestone birthdays happen to all of us, if we're lucky. But when they happen to great athletes, it marks time differently. We want to remember the fresh faced kid from North Carolina, not the crusty 50 year old team owner. Michael Jordan was/is far from perfect, none of us are...but for those who paid to watch him play, MJ never took a night off, and brought his best everytime he hit the floor. He remains the best ever, and I consider myself lucky to have witnessed moments like this....Happy Birthday M

This video is why RUclips was invented. Thank you for sharing.
Amen
Facts
Facts
imagine that. as far back as 1989
youtube is literally a time machine
the way how jordan said "yeah" was with so much passion and determination u can feel how bad he wanted that win and that shot to go in to advance. that yeah is the result
Yes,also that "Yeah!" was for all the detractors who wrote them off against Cleveland,including those from Chicago.That was satisfaction to say the least!
Yeah
💯 that was as authentic and genuine of a reaction I've ever seen come across in a post-game interview. It's something that's rarely captured and gives me goosebumps every time I watch.
MICHAEL, YA STUCK IT BABY.
"yeah!"
😂😂😂😂
This is some of the best basketball footage I've ever seen.
Same. I can’t believe I’ve never seen this footage
YEAH!
This vid made me feel like , I was @ the game so clear. MJ best ever.
+carlin reed Cheers Carlin, glad you liked it , special moment in time .
@@sayhibob59 Do you happen to have a ticket or pass from this game that you would sell me? I'm not joking. I collect MJ items like tickets and media passes.
How come u don’t write at instead going into symbols which takes more time?
Almost like having the JFK assassination from another angle.
Hereathome7 lol yea
Ironically, the camera man here is Abraham Zepruder's grandson
really? you're not kidding?
@Hereathome7 Well said. This was like the alternate angle option on the DVD of your favorite movie.
@@eagletrippin for some of us it's a horror flick bordering on snuff film.
It's amazing how the media just get right in there straight away. MJ must had been so amped but to get composed after that win was incredible to see.
Sam King ....Yup, same thing i thought.
Sam King ik. now they give them time to celebrate but this was literally 45 seconds after he made it
Just saw this and was thinks exactly the same thing!
GOAT legendary shit right there!!!
ICE WATER IN HIS VEINS
I have never seen "the shot" from this angle. Great video.
Agreed. I've seen the that play too many times to count, but never from that angle. Pretty cool.
"Michael u stuck it baby! u stuck it!" MICHAEL: "YEAH!!" simply the greatest,,his desire to be the best will never be !matched ever.. especially the way kids play these days..nothing like the NBA in the 80s-90s
oh an I left out the guy after Michael says YEAH, the reporter is so hyped he screamed YEAH again lol
That's a classic "Get Jordan the ball and everyone get the fuck out the way!" 😂 Mike is the goat.
That quote that coach Collins made was NOT in reference to this shot.
YA STUCK IT BABY!!!
MJ: YEAHHHH!!!!
reporter: YEAHHHH!!!!
Omar Moodie that sounded so dirty 😂😂
YEAHHH
☠️☠️☠️
A couple of points:
1. Whomever posted this video ought to be crowned. Never thought I would see a different angle 25 years later! Thank you!
2. LeBron-Jordan comparisons are absurd. No one ever was and still never is close to Jordans competitiveness.
Glad you like it AB....MJ was a cold blooded killer on the court, he never took a play off, that's what made him the best of all time. Bill Walton saying he was average a few weeks ago, was probably the most absurd thing anyone has ever spoken : )
sayhibob59 ya bill was saying Jordan being the best was a matter of "opinion" so stat wise kareem was the best. I was like okay... You wanna talk stats bill? Then Bill Russell is the greatest with his 11 TITLES smh lol good ol' Walton
They only people worthy of being compared to mj is Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan
MrPooty112 Not really man. Bryant and Duncan are legends no doubt. But Jordan's career is just unprecedented in terms of how great it was. His accomplishments and how he won considering the status of the Bulls when he was drafted by them and where he took them was pure greatness. Kobe had Laker power. Duncan had Pop and the boys. Jordan had sneakers.
Rodman, Pippen, Grant, Oakley? Jordan is a legend, but he had a bit more then sneakers.
30 years ago today!! Just copped the bred 4's Saturday too. MJ is timeless
Greatest post game interview of all time 😂
this is unbelievable footage....the greatest of all time after a game winner.....very touching.....especially when he says "yeah" with enthusiasm. LOVE IT
Amazing footage from ground level view, wow what a treasure! The Bulls were my favorite team growing up during the 80's and 90's, love it.
SwaggerLikeUz indeed. I actually never do the shot from that view before. Great footage.
actually i'm wondering how many thousands of minutes must have been recorded on tapes - and especially where are all those tapes...?? I guess it could interest thousands of fans to discover rare footages from behind the basket
I'm from Cleveland. Even though Jordan was my fav. Still hurts.
This is like a time machine. It's like in Back To The Future 2, when Marty came back to the 50's and was able to see it all from a different angle.
Unlike many people, I prefer the late 80's-early 90's MJ over the older post-comeback version of him. Either way, he is the GOAT.
There will NEVER be a player greater than this man!!!
Sadly you're right. After 98 it was never the same once the Bulls parted ways
This is unbelieve able. No one will ever be like MJ again.
There will never be another Mike
S Boogie Michael porter Jr
@@TheCorkingCork not even comparable
S Boogie uhh Kobe
Ever
@@TheCorkingCork this dude said Michael porter Jr
This is legitimately the greatest thing I've come across on RUclips. With all the HD videos, the content created for this medium, the channels, etc, finding and viewing this never-before-seen vantage of one of a great sports moment that everyone has seen was genuinely thrilling. It's the most engrossed I can remember being on this site.
We are all richer for you sharing this with us. Thank you!
same here..unbelievable stuff
Andrew Shaw same
He said, "I had faith in myself and the team." Wow, just extraordinary.
At 1:55, we see Mark Price is literally GRABBING the guy he's defending (3-point sharp shooter Craig Hodges). This is back in the day in the NBA when defenders would manhandle players. That's what makes Jordan so incredible - the fact that he did all this stuff during the roughest period of the Association when you could get away with anything on defense.
If you sneezed on MJ you got called for a foul, did you watch basketball in the 90s?
dizzyd butt hurt bronsexual spotted 😂
dizzyd Jordan shot more free throws and avg more points in the 80s! Go fact check before you say stupid shit! So many dudes in the 90s shot more free throws per game than Jordan!
YA STUCK IT BABY
they don't make reporters like that anymore. peak 80s
Facts
Wow his voice was breaking... a man who gave his life for the sport... I'm glad to say I grew up watching the greatest, he was/is my role model.. thank you mike...
gave his life for the sport? 🤣🤣🤣get off his dick he's a basketball player not a war veteran
This is how games are watched. Live, no announcers, no telecast, just the crowd some music a whole lotta pressure and pure fandom and at the end somebody heart is going to be ripped out. Ehlo put in that work but Jordan is Jordan. Great video.
I was there that night. Good 'ole Richfield Coliseum...Never seen this from that angle and still hard to watch, Every time they usually show this play, I always see my Dad and myself right above the hoop...Still stings.
Still stings me too. The cavs team was really good and swept the Bulls in the regular season. It was the game 1 home loss that really came back to haunt us.
It sure did...I was at that game too! Classic stuff, man...
@A Fridge Too Far Yeah, no shit, the game was over by 6pm in the EVENING...but, buy the time we got outta the parking lot it was 8pm, home around 9pm. And, I had school in the morning. I remember it quite well, thanks.
The best live coverage of "The Shot" by far.
ONE OF THE MOST REMARKABLE HIGHLIGHTS IN THE LATE 1980s NBA HISTORY!!! NO ONE WILL EVER FORGET THIS MOMENT THAT PUSH JORDAN AND THE BULLS TO THE NEXT LEVEL!!!
He actually made 2 crucial shots. The jumpshot put them in 1 point lead and then the shot!
Of the tens of thousands of videos I've watched on RUclips, this is my all-time favorite...
Wow...that means a lot. Thank you !
@@sayhibob59 This is like an alternative angle feature of a movie on DVD that I've seen a million times before; the first-person perspective of a fan sitting on the baseline, seeing a historic moment unfold in front of their very eyes. It truly feels like I am there, and then, ultimately, on the floor celebrating with that Bulls team. I can watch this video over & over, and it brings me back to my childhood each time. Thank you for posting this...
I wish there more like it. Do you capture any other moments like these? :)
Unique tape like this all those years later is gold. I thank you kindly sir, from Sydney Australia.
+Bibi cheers Bibi, you're very welcome ! Greatest of All Time
= GOAT !
Iv'e always felt that the moves Jordan made to shake Ehlo and Larry Nance just to receive the pass were as impressive as the shot.
Incredible movement without the ball.
SAME!!!!!! I watch every closely every time I watch this clip.
Amazing view. That raucous crowd was left in stunned silence. Cleveland was an excellent team back then. Ehlo and Price were phenomenal. But Jordan owned that game and that series
Cleveland would've been a really intriguing matchup for Detroit in the Eastern Finals...one of the few teams with rangy bigs to match up with them.
God, I just love how Mike was always so open and honest. He really wore his emotions on his sleeve. I wish more players had his attitude toward the game and stopped letting social media and all the other things affect their game.
Let's Go Chuck!
Michael Michael Michael Michael Michael😂😂
+Dezwan Spicer As if Mike is thinking, "Wheres Chuck!!!".
Nice. Great raw footage! no blah blah from announcers. makes u feel like ur there. Thanks!
Jordan is the greatest ever to play this game and maybe the greatest in the history of ALL sports
PRHILL9696 I think he is undoubtedly the best sportsman in the history of sports
Bullshit. Nobody beats Wilt Chamberlain. Most athletic dude ever!!! Played professional volleyball after he retired and averaged 50 rebounds and scored 100 pts.
Not to mention he was a lone player who couldnt carry a franchise until pippen joined him. Wilt carried teams
@@petera2788 lol.idiot
@@petera2788 Everyone was thrash in Wilt era. Mj had injuries before Pippen came.
Ehlo was on fire and still only one highlight everyone remembers. This video is great. Really shows the weight of the thing. The Cavs GM, Wayne Embry, said he could not celebrate with everyone in the booth after the Ehlo layup because Michael was going to get "one more touch".
What a gem, no announcers, no opinions, just raw emotions from players and the crowd. thank you for uploading this unbelievable footage. Love it
To this day, 2020, YOU STUCK IT still cracks me up!
YEAHHHHHHHH!
MJ = GOAT
Yeaahhhh!!!
I was a kid going through the emotions of the series. Seeing Ehlo score my heart sank. Jordan made the buzzer shot and I cried. It was amazing.
This video is GOLD!!!! THANK GOD IVE FOUND THIS VIDEO
I wish I could find more NBA live angles like this on youtube. Amazing stuff!
and also that the quality is great in comparison to most of the 80s/90s videos on YT
Renardsurleweb Wonder why Rena?It would seem Big CBS could Perseve their Flims better...At Lease better than the Local TVShows..Love the Angle...
This is amazing footage
"Let's go chuck!!!" I can feel your passion for the game dude. Bravo! I've been looking at this image since I was 12 years old in 1991 and to see it from such an honest/fresh and in the moment angle and your perspective makes this amazing. The corporate media night got the 1st words out of MJ but you got the most lasting impression. This is the video we shall all see to just fee what it was like to be there
Yeaaahhh!!!
Rawest angle I have ever seen of the G.O.A.T. Captures the atmospheres and struggle of a sports reporter. The 90's was live. Real real live.
This seriously looks like it just happened today. Amazing footage. Vintage. When basketball was great.
crazy how he saying that he had free throw troubles but hit the game winner at the free throw line lol
This deserves a spot in the RUclips HOF! Great video!
30 years ago today! Happy Anniversary.
Can you believe that this was 25 years ago! Classic MJ buzzer beater! MJ rules!
Make that now almost 34 years ago
I like how Ehlo makes the shot,& Jordan walks back up unfazed,& ready. 🐐
Footage is amazing. Thanks for the memories. #MJ the Goat!!!!!
This video is surreal ..it's like a real life movie with actors. I have never seen any other footage of "the shot" then the major network coverage. Amazing!!!!!!!
This shot going in was so significant.... it happened in 1989.... if he doesn't make it then don't go to the next round obviously and definitely not to the Eastern Conference Finals to play the Bad Boy Pistons and who knows how many years the Bulls are away from having success in the upcoming years. Especially even WITH THIS shot going in to win, it took a couple years to get to the Finals.... so iconic this shot and this game.
I'm sure it gave the Bulls confidence and reason to keep the current team together and not make off-season changes that would hinder the start of something so great. Like 6 rings in the 90's. Such a significant shot and great this video was here for all to watch as it marked THEE BEGINNING OF THE BULLS DYNASTY.
This is an amazing compilation of game footage and post game interviews of the game.
this is an incredible video
Anybody watching this to hype themselves up even more over the sneaker release this Saturday?
Eddie L. Rosado-Nieves yes! This shot solidified the shoe 👍🏾
My 2019 black cement retro 4s brought me here😁
One of my favorite moments of all time. Just listen to how loud the fans are than how silent the CAVS fans get. Lol
The cinematography of this video is awesome feels like you are at the game
Wow, I wish there were more close court side angles on RUclips, because you can really see just how competitive it really was.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Never get tired of watching this footage. Thanks to Bob and the rest of the guys who made this possible. MJ at his finest! 🐐 🏀🏆
Thank you so much for this awesome post and not just the shot. I am 38 years old am I am as sure as I can be that there will never be another professional team athelete better than Michael Jordan. Especially when it was MONEY TIME. CBZ
Simply incredible footage.
"You stuck it!"
"YEAH!"
Goosebumps!
Unbelievable. How have I never seen this before.
3:50 - This is the biggest difference between Lebron and Michael Jordan. Lebron "It's my team's fault". Jordan after carrying the team "I was disappointed in myself". He always gave it his best, and if it wasn't good enough, he made his best… better. No one was more determined. By the way, the excitement of the media in the 90s 2:05 It sounds like they're soldiers in the middle of an air assault haha
bledredwine Jordan demanded a shit load out of his teammates too , though. He just would never say that in front of a camera, and put the blame on himself instead. Classy dude, crazy video
lebron has never blamed his team he always puts the blame on himself. watch the interviews. lebron haters for no reason
Eddie Crims That's not true. After the finals when the Spurs blew him out by an NBA record in point differential, he said there was nothing else that he could do and they were a better team.
Awesome raw footage that I'd never seen before. Big Thanx!!!!
Love the tape, puts me back on the court like it was yesterday.
man this video still gives me the chills, great footage. MJ is the greatest of all the greatests
Amazing to see this alternate angle of the play. Such raw footage. Thank you, uploader. Great story in your caption. I, too, grew up in Chicagoland during this heyday. Will never forget Red Kerr's shouts of joy on the local broadcast. (But you got some pretty memorable shouts in yourself here! Can't imagine Rich King being that guy, heh.) Love the interview at the end with Chet Coppock and Jim Rose all over MJ. It's absolutely insane how Jordan goes straight into interview mode only seconds after shot an exhilarating moment. Looks like the CBS Sports guys had first dibs on the interview and almost knocked you down!
thank you so much for posting this video... this is a pure no commentation point of view, that we the fans can grasp and take what we want from it, love it, love jordan, the dude had nothing left in his tank, but some how he made the shot look easy... the dude look like he was about to fall over and die... the man is amazing...
This is amazing footage! You get so used to seeing iconic moments from the same camera angles that they sometimes don't feel real, they lose a little bit of their human touch. But to see it from this different angle makes it all human and real again. Beautiful footage, and of course an incredible moment.
omg that reporter is so great! what balls on him!!
The reality of being a reporter. Tough business. Awesome shot.
Love watching this interview
awesome material man!!! is amazing how the time go by and MJ material is always coming and coming, just amazing 16 years he retired from the bulls and still keep emerging this amazing stufff, i love MJ, im from argentina, thanks for upload this! greetings
Thanks for this amazing footage - this is really something !
This is GOLD! Thanks for Sharing!
Amazing video thanks for posting it loved it and appreciate you sharing this MJ GOAT!!!!!!!
Amazing video and the quality. Probably my favorite moment of his career in the pre-title years.
This is truly some incredible footage and audio. This deserves millions of views.
Thank You for this gem! MJ is the GOAT! End of discussion.
It Wasn't Until 1992 When Jordan Established Himself As The GOAT
Thanks for this
No Matter WHAT!!!... One of the Greatest of All time.
Macmittens411 The Greatest of All Time*
“We beat them befawh”
Love the accent coming out!
This is amazing to see this from a different perspective! I always remember seeing the guy in yellow running onto the court to get that first interview. Thanks for the video!
this is some legendary shit...amazing video
Thanks Bob, this is truly amazing. You have no idea what it's like to watch that classic footage of 'The Shot' for nearly 30 years (MJ celebrating, Ehlo in despair) and then discover this..raw court level footage, shot in the heart of that moment. This is a real treasure. Can look back and actually see you guys now in the classic footage! Thanks again for posting
Thank you so much for this video!!
this is amazing. i wish all of the great moments had angles like this.
Thanks for this footage!
This is awesome, ive never seen these alternate angles and postgame interviews before! Jerry Reinsdorf looks like he just saw God. One of the greatest playoff games ive ever seen & a monumental moment in the evolution of the MJ legacy.
So freaking cool feels like your in the stands just watching this.
Wow! I have never seen this angle of that play that I remember so many years ago watching live. Thanks for sharing!
Wow this is amazing this is got to be the greatest video ever put on RUclips what a few feel like I was on the floor Wow
damn! What priceless footage this is!! Never seen!!!!!! Amazing, thanks for posting!
What a video legendary
A fresh look at a timeless, historic moment. Thanks for the upload.
