Seen this a few times but its always crazy to me to see an interview like 5 sec after a series winning shit lmao.

I just find it absolutely insane that he was able to put together such a coherent and well detailed response so soon after hitting the game winner. MJ was nothing but professional when he was standing on a court. Knew what to say and when to say it. Humble, praises his teammates sends a message to his doubters.
It’s clear that MJ *needed* those naysayers, asking the reporters what the vibe was back in Chicago before the game. He fed off that shit lol.

Ehlo was a solid player, but he’ll always mostly be remembered for this. (And he actually defended him well)

This is one of the most impressive playoffs runs ever imo. First he does this against the 3rd seed Cavs who had 3 allstars, then against the 2nd seed Knicks he leads his team in all 5 statistical categories through the series, in the ECF against the Pistons he gives them their only 2 losses of the playoffs.

What a legend
Man ..you gotta get in where u fit in as a reporter.. everybody wanna holla at mike
Holy shit James Brown hasn’t aged at all!
Didn’t know he did basketball reporting. What an awesome clip.
Those reporters were vicious, throwing elbows to get people out the way for the interview.
Craig Ehlo was a baller
either this is cuttin out possessions or the fabled tough defense of the old days is overhyped lol. like 6 straight possessions of nothin but net
By the way this shot is hyped, you would think it was in the finals. More of the Jordan bullshit hype train.
What a slug fest. Just big shot after big shot from both sides. Incredible basketball!
This is absolutely amazing.
my dear lord this man
