Other interesting information: Michael Jordan had two of his best momments playing against the Cavaliers. In the 1989 playoffs with Chicago-Cleveland series tied 2-2 and a couple of seconds left in game 5, the Cavaliers were witnesses of one Jordan's greatest clutch moments, a buzzer-beater that decided the series and is known as "The Shot". MJ also had his career-high 69 points against them.

But in 2003 the Cavaliers had their momment of glory when they drafted LeBron James with the first pick overall. "King James" is considered by many as Jordan's heir and the future of the NBA.
