Michael Jordan’s catalog of unforgettable moments is one that has no shortage. If you were a perimeter defender, your paths likely intertwined at some point, and Jordan certainly got the better end of the stick. One of the first moments that associated Jordan with both athletic superiority and success came during Game Five of the win-or-go-home 1989 First Round against the Cleveland Cavaliers, a moment in which Jordan out-hung Craig Ehlo, the first of many demoralizations of the city of Cleveland.
If Portland Trail Blazers guard CJ McCollum had his pick of the litter, choosing both a different era and the team to boot, he said he would like to be one of the guards hoping to loosen the screws on Jordan’s pedestal by joining the Cavaliers of the late-1980s and early-1990s.
