Michael Jordan Stared At A Blank TV Before Hitting "The Shot" Vs Cavs, Says Howard White

Jordan dropped 50 in Game 4 of Cavs-Bulls 1989 but missed 5 FTs in doing so.

"Was that fate?" asks White with MJ hitting a free-throw line shot for "The Shot", essentially redeeming himself for his previous FT flubs.
