Remembering "The Shot": Craig Ehlo hit all-time low after retirement

Those three seconds seemed like eternity. I kind of ran by and had my hand up. And [Jordan] hung in the air and just waited for me to go by…Sure enough I went by and he let it go and I turned my head and watched the shot. I saw the ball in the air and I can see the light was on. So all it had to do was hit the rim and miss. I remember it hit the right rim first then it just went right through the net.

But I never have dreams about it. I can tell you that I see myself getting a smile on my face and me fist pumping for once.

The whole basketball thing, that kind of came and went. It didn’t matter what I did on the basketball court, the addiction was worse. It cut the heart, a lot more than ‘the shot.’
