50+ Moments and Stats That Prove Michael Jordan is the GOAT

MJ, like all the greats, proved his worth in the postseason time and time again. During the first round of the 1988-89 playoffs, Cleveland and Chicago were tied at 2-2. They played their fifth and final match to see who would advance and who would return home in ruins.

It was during the deciding match against the Cavs in the first round where Michael took “The Shot.” With only three seconds left on the clock and down 99-100, Brad Sellers inbounded the ball to Michael, who took the ball to the left, rose above Craig Ehio, and took “The Shot.” You can see the Cavs players’ hearts break in real-time when Michael took the buzzer-beating shot that eliminated the Cavs from the playoffs.
