In 1989, MJ eliminated the Cavs with one legendary shot.

It was devastating for a young Cavs team, and one of the worst moments in Cavs history.

[{"selector":"#anim-0a8301c9-c755-43dd-8437-a56e9bae1d74 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(18.000000050554785%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

They had just finished 3rd in the East, and had room to get even better.

[{"selector":"#anim-0a76e90c-7cba-4ff8-9758-a17f1114e5c4 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(61.5671874042874%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2efbbbbf-a990-4d1d-adf8-fb0837ba9882","keyframes":[{"offset":0,"transform":"translate3d(0, -336.24201%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.29,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.45,"transform":"translate3d(0, -94.551253212%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.61,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.71,"transform":"translate3d(0, -32.144736156%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.8,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.85,"transform":"translate3d(0, -12.071088159%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.92,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.96,"transform":"translate3d(0, -5.245375355999999%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":1,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"}],"delay":0,"duration":1500,"fill":"both"}]

Even Jordan, himself, admitted the Cavs were going to be one of the best teams in the league.

[{"selector":"#anim-c437d73f-1df7-456a-96b2-3c7a887a4bd7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3fcf5bc5-cc9f-4be1-baed-5223a6ef9849 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-34.179687404002955%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Instead, after MJ eliminated them, the Cavs traded away their core players, including Ron Harper.

[{"selector":"#anim-d21433af-4011-4c36-8233-550fb5c2a470","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-122.02797%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6df4e918-814e-4b7f-8c31-503cedba9f8a","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(-180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f1d953e1-c0bc-474b-8372-963596e500bd [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-0.38404473971810305%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The Cavs only made it past the 1st round twice during Jordan’s 2 three-peats.

[{"selector":"#anim-30cee749-a0d7-49ce-a00b-6f58d43fbbaa","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(122.02797%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-04dc055e-0ba5-4eb4-a38d-3f6931760286","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-388c15da-dca9-41cb-92e4-d387e5e501c3","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a72604b4-f7dd-4e0a-bf06-b9f77700628a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-37.2936522299935%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"fill":"forwards"}]

To make it worse, Jordan’s Bulls eliminated them 3 straight times.

[{"selector":"#anim-4af0e743-3cba-436a-b184-e97610da122a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8b944202-889c-4e27-ad1a-6e0bdbd3f506","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-58bbc0fc-1076-4748-9a17-e391794c2d4b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-19.329426987620742%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Ron Harper signed with the Bulls in 1994, and helped MJ win 3 more rings.

[{"selector":"#anim-b03f66c2-a861-4607-adc1-1953301afa50","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7daca200-2892-454a-9d58-744e6785fed2","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4b9a3212-fc4b-4772-bde0-23a148853465 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(60.20833321955905%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

If the Cavs never trade away their core though, Harper believes they would’ve been a problem for MJ for years to come.
