LeBron's Miracle Shot saves Cleveland Cavaliers - 05-22-09

May 22, 2009 - LeBron James had just one second to try an incredible three-pointer and save Cleveland Cavaliers.

CLEVELAND (AP)—Michael Jordan no longer has the most famous buzzer-beater in Cleveland sports history.

The Shot has been topped.

LeBron James(notes) made one better.

James dropped a 3-pointer from the top of the key over Orlandos Hedo Turkoglu(notes) as the final horn sounded Friday night to give the Cavaliers, their season a heartbeat from major trouble, a 96-95 victory over the Magic that evened the Eastern Conference finals at one game apiece.

From 23 feet—matching his jersey number and Jordans—James hit a shot that will go down as one of the defining moments in a career thats just hitting its stride.

That guy is not in the league any more, James said of Jordan. The other 23 is on the good side now.

  • Loved seeing the little kid they showed earlier with his hands on his head jumping like crazy on the sidelines after LeBron made that shot....good stuff ;-)

    LeBron is truly gifted and I'm glad for him, he deserves a win like this...

  • I thought it was redemption against the refs for the 4th period.. They were calling fouls against Cleveland which shouldn't have been, and missing BIG fouls which Orlando was making..

  • What's with the head grabbing? You would think he cured cancer or something. He threw a ball thru a circle with string around it. wow.
