This is archival footage from ESPN's vault, posted by ESPN on their official channel, showcasing one of the most famous moments in NBA history from May 7, 1989.
This captures Michael Jordan's legendary buzzer-beater against the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 5 of their first-round playoff series, forever known simply as "The Shot" — a moment that defined Jordan's clutch reputation and is considered one of the greatest plays in basketball history
With three seconds left and the Bulls down by one point, Jordan received the inbound pass and hit a foul-line jumper over Cavaliers defender Craig Ehlo, eliminating Cleveland from the playoffs and sending Chicago to the second round against the New York Knicks
The broadcast reveals the dramatic back-and-forth final seconds: Craig Ehlo had just scored to give Cleveland a one-point lead with three seconds remaining, setting the stage for Jordan's heroics
Jordan finished with 44 points total, including 28 in the second half alone, overcoming a poor shooting performance in the first half and playing through illness to deliver when it mattered most
The footage includes the original play-by-play call, Jordan's immediate celebration, and a post-game interview where he acknowledges the pressure and his confidence in taking the final shot, declaring "we're going to New York baby"
