Michael Jordan's Iconic Game-Winner In Cleveland

On May 7, 1989 Michael Jordan gets just enough room to knock down the dagger over his defender for the Bulls vs CLE.

I love how he punches the air, and the guy behind him just falls.

[Sonnel_James]

Even his celebration was amazing to watch ..just GOAT!!

The celebration at the end is the icing on top. What a way

[jamesthereaper]

"The inbounds pass comes in to Jordan. Here's Michael at the foul line, the shot on Ehlo... (overlapping Kerr) GOOD! Bulls win!"

[wook]

Those Cavaliers teams back then were tough, too. That's how stacked the Eastern Conference was back then.

Sent those boys to Cancun with this shot 🤣🐐

[johnhancock]

Jordans most iconic highlight of all time

Dam. MJ always looks like he is floating when he jumps to shoot. No wonder be was nicknamed the Airness.

[inexpugnabilis]

Funny enough, the Cavs had won all their 6 regular season match-ups against the Bulls. But when it mattered most, MJ always delivered. Only players in the vein of MJ (The shot, The Last shot, the flu game, the shrug etc.), Kobe (2000 game winner vs Phoenix, 2000 take over after Shaq had been ejected, 2009-10 season including 6 game-winner and the ring vs an all-time great Celtics team), LeBron (2009 Game winner vs. Magic, 2016 championship) can put up moments like these.

See that one dude smiling in the slow mow replay? He immediately knew he'd witnessed a legendary moment in sports history :)

[PACNYY]

Michael Jordan is the REAL 🐐. Not Lebron James. The consistency this man showed throughout his entire career especially in the playoffs and finals is unmatched. Give this man the love and respect he deserves 😤.

[NewYork]

Craig Ehlo’s collapse in the background helps make this moment epic.

[marshalljobe]

You'd NEVER give the ball to LeBron for a game winner oportunity.

[Buna]

the jump was so clean that I bet the Jordan brand was debating using it as the jumpman logo

[Echo]

Happy 35th anniversary to one of the best MJ moments 🐐

[jakekunz]

it’s sad to think this might not have counted today with slo mo instant replay and digital clocks with milliseconds

[paulfrank]

His timing was perfect and his teammate almost got knocked out by that last air swing 😂 that boy would of went to sleeepppp!!!!💪🏿 😴

[bryanramos]

El mejor no hay duda... Y los q jugamos ya sabemos que emocionante es ese momento.

[fiestyslander]

He is so smooth. This is why he's my GOAT 🐐🐐🐐
