I’m pretty happy with this week’s Sports in Five, mainly for the Cleveland-bashing.
Three: Mistake by the Lake
Michael Jordan made no secret of hating Cleveland and everything associated with it. His earliest and most vociferously celebrated series-ending basket, “The Shot“, was over Craig Ehlo at Cleveland, where he screams and throws fists at the crowd after he drained it. He did everything in his considerable powers to mentally and emotionally destroy anyone from there. That’s what makes Sunday’s collapse at Cleveland even harder to take. Have some sense of team history, people! He even tormented Brent Price just because he was Mark’s little brother. Check out this clip at 5:13 — he waves the ball over Brent Prices’ head like he’s on the Washington Generals.
