    Really cool perspective on MJ's famous "The Shot" vs the Cavs in 1989. Feels like you're really there!

    Great footage. Some camera angles I've not seen before.

    Repped. Thanks.

    He was able to catch the ball, dribble it twice and hang in the air for a shot in less than three seconds? That's pretty amazing.

    Missed the part after the shot where MJ lept to the air and, due to perspective, looked as if he kicked Ehlo who then crumbled to the ground.

    Still an awesome angle. Love how the reporter fights his way through players to get to MJ.

    I've always felt that it felt like it took longer than 3 seconds. But I have no objective evidence that the clock started late or something.

    You've never heard of Craig Ehlo? Not even for being the guy that Jordan hit that shot over?

    that shot was incredible. I can't believe how long it's been since then... but I love the new camera angle. Great post, repped.

    I keep on watching it, and I still have no idea how he made it. Amazing shot.
