In the instant that it happened, even Raycom commentators Mike Patrick and Jeff Mullins (a former Duke player) knew they had seen something extraordinary.
As soon as Michael Jordan threw down the now-legendary rock the cradle dunk at Maryland's Cole Field House, Patrick uttered his now-famous, "Look at that!" In the re-aired game on ESPN Sunday afternoon, though, we got the rest of the conversation.
Mullins: "You think we might've seen a highlight film move there? That will be in someone's highlight film coming up real soon."
It has, of course, been a staple of highlight films ever since.
