I learned that when I saw MJ make that shot over Craig Ehlo.
I learned at Red-right 88 when I froze in the cold as a child. Reinforced when Elway drove down the field. Byner’s fumble reinforced it a bit. Then the 95 tribe hitting the Maddox, Glavine, Smoltz buzz saw hammered it home. Of course the Mesa blown save in game 7 removed all doubt. “the shot” gives the Cavs credibility it the educational experience.
Only solace is that we Cleveland fans go through it all together.
