“The Shot” Podcast With Craig Ehlo and Brad Sellers

May 7th, 2020 was the 31st anniversary of Michael Jordan’s legendary shot that beat the Cavaliers in game 5 of the first round of the 1989 NBA playoffs. It launched MJ’s career towards the greatest of all-time(G.O.A.T.), but knocked Cleveland out of the playoffs and just a year later led to the disastrous trade of Ron Harper that would haunt the Cavs for years to come.

We’ve seen “Air Jordan” describe “The Shot” many times. What I wanted to do was talk to the other two key players involved in “The Shot” and get their perspective of what was supposed to happen from both huddles prior to “The Shot”, and then get their reaction immediately after the play, and then all these years later.

So I set up a Zoom call with former Bulls forward Brad Sellers, who inbounded the ball to Michael, and former Cavaliers guard Craig “Eggs” Ehlo, who had the unenviable task of trying to guard Michael on the legendary play.

The guys broke it down and shared great stories, some never told before, in this 45 minute Zoom video podcast:

LeBron James Greatest Game?

It’s always great talking LeBron James and Cavs basketball with Michael Reghi and JT on the Kenny and JT show on 1480 WHBC. We broke down Game 5 of the 2007 NBA’s Eastern Conference Finals – Cavs at Pistons, when King James scored 48pts – including Cleveland’s final 25 points and 29 of the Cavaliers last 30 points in the 109-107 double overtime win at the Palace of Auburn Hills in Detroit. We talked about it from two different perspectives:

  1. Michael and I were there in person at the Palace to witness it first hand.
  2. JT was at home watching on TV.
