Their window was shut by 1989 and The Shot by MJ. They had traded Harper, lost to a Bulls team that won 10 fewer games than they did in the playoffs. Magic Johnson gave them more street cred than they had earned saying they'd be the team of the 90's. But by 1989 that dream was stolen by MJ and the Bulls and then Cleveland couldn't even beat NY by 1992 if they wanted to. 92 was Cleveland finally maxing out on this era of Cleveland basketball and they had already burned 2 seasons in 90, 91. 92 they matched 89, finally won playoff series, matched up with Chicago again with same number of wins as 89, but 10 fewer than Chicago this time and they couldn't even force a seventh game. They were in over their heads in 92 without Harper and they weren't really a true threat to either Portland or Chicago. And like I said, if NY beats Chicago in 92, NY probably beats Cleveland. I agree, Harper trade was the unofficial end of this team.
@@jkdortch2308 What i mean by "Next Jordan catagory": In the early 90s sportswriters, Basketball Scouts and Pundits in general started using that term when some kid in collage had a all around game and was a Hooper at a division 1 school. *"next Jordans"* Kevin Madden, Toney Mack, Matt Marquart, Cliff Rozier, Harold Miner, Felipe Lopez, Rashad McCants Derrick Harper, Dennis Hopson(ex bulls) *Carbon Copies* : LeBron and Kobe *Close but not there* : Vince Carter, Grant Hill, Bryan Russel, Jerry Stackhouse, Penny Hardaway, Ray Allen, Allen Iverson, Dwyane Wade.
People forget Harper would have been better as a player but he blow out his knee and was never the explosive phenomenon he once was after the knee injury he become a solid 3rd team type guy with the clippers and then a top tier role player with the bulls
773 p Cleveland traded him before he got knee surgery. He had a pretty terrible ankle sprain though that did slow him down a little in his second year onwards.
My Family member play for the Cavs and not only that other players know...you believe everything the Media says and they be far from the truth...The media knows that Kyrie wanted to be the Leader of a team because before Lebron got there Kyrie could not carry the Cavs to a winning season until Lebron returned back....Man all I hear and see in most of the comments are Skip Bayless Disciples
When i think of the cavs there were alot of what ifs like in the 1996 draft what if we drafted steve nash and kobe and ben Wallace. Lol but we know kobe wouldn't never play for cleve he had his mind set on LA but what about nash. And ben wallace and big z . but in the end we wouldn't have lebron sooo wat the hell
Birds been blocked. Magic been blocked. It happens to everyone..people just get a boner over seeing one thing happen. Mj wasn't 100%perfect. Its so stupid
This is another BS video,how can u stop a man with 44 points,MJ cant save his teammate's assess all the time but who won the series though?Answer that Jordan haters.

Many people either don’t know, or have forgotten, that the cavs actually had a pretty good team back in the late 80’s...early 90’s.
Balboa the cougar slayer yeah we would of been great if we never made that trade for ferry
Michael Jordan Mark Price, Harper, Daughtery, Nance Sr., Hot Rod Williams,Ehlo, Brandon...you all had some pieces over the years.
Another good team that feel victim Jordan's heroics.
It didn't last very long and Jordan and the Bulls always beat them in the postseason. The Bulls are reponsible for making them irrelevant

Ron was one of those "next jordan" category. He and Derrick Harper actually had notable Defense against Mike
WRONG HE WAS IN NO NEXT JORDAN CATEGORY
HARPER INJURIES ASSIST JORDANS CAREER BUT THATS HOW THE GAME GOES

*"next Jordans"*
Kevin Madden, Toney Mack, Matt Marquart, Cliff Rozier, Harold Miner, Felipe Lopez, Rashad McCants
Derrick Harper, Dennis Hopson(ex bulls)
*Carbon Copies* : LeBron and Kobe
*Close but not there* : Vince Carter, Grant Hill, Bryan Russel, Jerry Stackhouse, Penny Hardaway, Ray Allen, Allen Iverson, Dwyane Wade.
I remember Ron Harper was called the poor man's Michael Jordan during his peak
People forget Harper would have been better as a player but he blow out his knee and was never the explosive phenomenon he once was after the knee injury he become a solid 3rd team type guy with the clippers and then a top tier role player with the bulls
Nazir lee that Harper and Manning tandem was nasty in LA
Yeah the knee surgeries back then were crap if not Cleveland would have been a bigger problem in the east
midwestking100 no doubt
773 p yea you were pretty much done back then!
773 p Cleveland traded him before he got knee surgery. He had a pretty terrible ankle sprain though that did slow him down a little in his second year onwards.
Ron Harper was the man too, that's why Michael wanted Ron to play with him
jordan got people to come to Chicago lebron ran off and join other teams
Phon Xieng LeBron did not run off Kyrie nowhere...and besides all teams have their internal problems..get your info right....
and how do u know? you work for the cavs?
My Family member play for the Cavs and not only that other players know...you believe everything the Media says and they be far from the truth...The media knows that Kyrie wanted to be the Leader of a team because before Lebron got there Kyrie could not carry the Cavs to a winning season until Lebron returned back....Man all I hear and see in most of the comments are Skip Bayless Disciples
Same thing Spurs did with Micheal Finley..better with us, than to have to face him every year.
First, and what a great moment for Ron Harper...to be able to tell anyone that he stopped and fouled out the GOAT.
@Kenneth Erickson still he f.cked his ass pretty hard tho. What a game by Harper
@Kenneth Erickson yeah i know but what it is all about? I was talkin about bideo and game end
@OIP ! what if im actually gay
He's human!!!
😂 right
ron got the clamps 🔒
Man the memories Joe tate on the call
When i think of the cavs there were alot of what ifs like in the 1996 draft what if we drafted steve nash and kobe and ben Wallace. Lol but we know kobe wouldn't never play for cleve he had his mind set on LA but what about nash. And ben wallace and big z . but in the end we wouldn't have lebron sooo wat the hell
Michael Jordan The 86 draft was the Best draft ever for the Cavs
Marc Regal yeah but if we would of picked the right players lebron would never wear a cavs Jersey
@ 4:12 hahaha a casual shot of assistant Coach Phil Jackson.
0:34 - Intentional ?
I love Ron Harper, he was a great teamamte. But..................Who won the series????
Brady Patrick bulls won the series 3-2 best of 5.
Teams that eliminated MJ from the playoffs are the Bucks, Celtics, Pistons, & Magic.
LOL-Yea, and in 1991, the Bulls elminated the Pistons! and the Magic in 1996. Oh, and swept!
This was the first round?
Kenneth Erickson thanks
Cook MJ 😂😂😂 a lot of people don’t come to look at this
Birds been blocked. Magic been blocked. It happens to everyone..people just get a boner over seeing one thing happen. Mj wasn't 100%perfect. Its so stupid
@@jerryhill8281 now when lbj makes a mistake people act like MJ was a good. Look at this vid. Harper honestly f.ked MJs ass
This is another BS video,how can u stop a man with 44 points,MJ cant save his teammate's assess all the time but who won the series though?Answer that Jordan haters.
Someone’s saltyyyyyyy 🧂
@1:10. Horrible, horrible "defense".
