Michael Jordan's 'shot' still resonates in Cleveland

Posted May 15, 2015
Former Cavs guard Ron Harper remembers walking out of the Richfield Coliseum in 1989, not long after Michael Jordan hit arguably the most historic shot in the history of basketball and not fully absorbing the magnitude of that moment. Jordan was autographing a pair of his "sorry shoes" for a future charity function for Harper. Connecting eye contact with Jordan's dad, Harper heard the elder Jordan say, "It's not the shoes, Ron."
