Where were you in 89'?

Came across this video a few nights back, its not for people with a weak stomach. It about made me throw up or climb a water tower and start shooting.

Bright side people everything cloud has a silver lining..LeBron witnessed that shot and said I wanna be like Mike and I wanna hit that shot against the Bulls in the ECF...and I hope that someday it happens

I was in 7th grade and severely addicted to the Cavs. My school had an overnight camping field trip that weekend... I don't know why, since my middle school never organized anything cool for us before or since. All the boys were infuriated that it fell on the deciding game with the Bulls.

I remember a classmate listening to a walkman, telling the whole yellow school bus the bad news. All we really knew was Jordan hit a shot at the buzzer and the Cavs were knocked out of the playoffs. It wasn't until later that summer that I learned how gut-wrenching the game was... how well the cavs played all game, how Ehlo played the game of his life before The Shot, how poorly constructed our defense was for that terrible inbounds play... and I could go on.

I was furious for a while that I missed the game, but in time I gained perspective. In many ways, I'm glad I missed the critical low point of the franchise and the emotional drain that came with it. I look forward to doing anything and everything possible not to miss the day Lebron and Gilby stand before Stern, trophy in hand, spouting meaningless spots cliches while trying to catch thier collective breath.

That's grim. I was 13 but hadn't started watching the Cavs yet, only saw them on a post card for some charity cause. I was a paperboy though and The Shot was plastered all over front page. I'm glad I didn't see that game live though!

This was the season I began being a Cavalier fan. I was just 11, so the NBA wasn't that big a part of my life in Australia. I had caught my first game of NBA basketball earlier that season and was hooked. I did not see that shot till many years later being a casual young fan in a basketball starved country. Unfortunately I have seen many highlights of it since.

Hey, would at least be good to be back at that level again.

I remember that I was in about 7th grade, and we got in trouble cause we were watching the game before youth group. About 5-6 of us watched the end of the game, were about 5 mins late, seriously pissing off a youth leader. I was pretty sad after that game.

Watching the game with my dad. He swore a lot. I was 13. I hate Jordan
