This is the shot that launched Michael Jordan onto the superstars' Mt. Olympus.
The world knew about Jordan, his scoring titles, his two Slam Dunk championships and his aerial brilliance. But his Bulls had won only one playoff series in Jordan's career and he was often criticized for not being able to win.
That changed one Sunday in suburban Cleveland. The final three seconds of Game 5 of Chicago's Eastern Conference first round series has entered the American pop culture pantheon. There isn't a sports fan who doesn't know about it. This is where the legend was born.
