The NBA legend Michael Jordans’ 1989 championship game is one of the first and best plays of his entire career. The match raised MJ into the category of match-winners in the game of Basketball. Recently, the Cleveland Browns’ Defensive End Myles Garrett happened to share the iconic moment and recalled the greatness of Michael Jordan to his fans.

Taking to Twitter on Saturday, the NFL star shared “The Shot” of the game and relished the greatness that was exhibited 33 years ago in NBA history. “You’re not a hooper if you didn’t practice this shot at the gym at least once.” Garrett wrote on Twitter.

The Chicago Bulls were on the verge of elimination and were short of one point. That’s when Jordan arrived with his magical hands without losing focus and showcased his blitz for the first time by clinching the most required victory to move forward in the league.

As soon as the video snippet was shared fans hopped into the discussion. That was a super cool shot for the DE to watch MJ creating the magic again and again in a loop.

The 26-year-old is equally talented in his sport and has been a pillar of the Browns since 2017. He was selected as the first overall in that year’s class and got named to three Pro Bowls and two first-team All-Pros during his NFL career.

When Michael Jordan stunned with his magic in 1989

On May 7, 1989, Michael Jordan wasn’t a champion yet; however, his quench for a title was about to end in a matter of days. Each of his fist pumps in Cleveland was fueled by contempt for anyone who didn’t believe in him. Popularly known as “The Shot,” happened in the playoff game between the Chicago Bulls and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers were one of the best young teams in the NBA during the late 1980s. They were in contention for the title with a league-leading 57-25 win-loss record. But Michael Jordan became a hindrance to all their endeavors. With a few seconds left to wind up the game, Jordan started from the right side and dribbled to the key, rising for a jumper from inside the circle.
