Watch: 'The Shot' By Michael Jordan From A New Angle
(CBS) From the depths of who knows where, new footage has been discovered of "The Shot" -- Michael Jordan's famous buzzer-beater that pushed the Bulls past the Cavaliers in Game 5 of a 1989 Eastern Conference first-round series.
Sports fans are well-versed in seeing Jordan's jumper over Craig Ehlo from a backcourt baseline view or from the mid-court, elevated sideline camera. Now, a much closer angle has emerged -- from a wide spot in the frontcourt baseline.
Check it out below. Part of the charm is that it has no broadcasting commentary overlaid, just natural sound.
This footage is so epic I had to show this again for people who are woke. The Shot from another angle. pic.twitter.com/BCevhTWxEA

Perhaps that most eerie part is how quickly that sound turns to silence after Jordan's shocks the home crowd. (Though it's quickly interrupted by a crazed reporter.)
