LeBron James' buzzer beating three pointer Derek Holland Womens Jersey in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals will not make Cleveland fans forget about "The Shot."
Now that Cleveland has been eliminated and the playoffs are over, we can take a definitive look back at the magnitude of LeBron James' game winner back in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The result is a rather indifferent, not much.
Sure, I'm an M.J. homer. I'll admit it. But I can back this statement up. First of all, Jordan's shot won something more than a game. It won a series. In a single play, he carried the http://www.texasrangersprostore.com/WOMENS-ELVIS-ANDRUS-JERSEY.html Chicago Bulls to the next round of the playoffs, which at the time, was something Chicago was not very familiar with. As a six seed in the playoffs that year, Jordan took his Bulls to the Eastern Conference Finals. The last time the Bulls had reached the Eastern Finals. 1975.
LeBron's game winner did only that, it Authentic Milwaukee Brewers Jersey won the game. It merely extended a series that went six games. So in terms of the Cavaliers playoff run, "Le Shot" prevented them from being swept out of the Eastern Conference Finals. Nothing more.
Another factor to consider is the difficulty of the shot. Jordan's was a two point jump shot and LeBron's was a three pointer. Before I begin, both shots were incredible. Jordan gets the edge slightly, and here is why. Jordan's shot was off the dribble. Sometimes it helps shooters get in a rhythm by taking a dribble or two, however most pure shooters will tell you that catching the pass and http://www.officialmlbshopco.com/MIAMI_MARLINS-c-1_193.html immediately going up to shoot is easier. Aside from putting the ball on the floor, Jordan's shot was made despite terrible balance. He violently flew to his left as he was at the pinnacle of the jumper. As a college basketball player, I can tell you it is much more difficult to make a shot leaning left or right, than it is leaning forward or back.
