It is only amazing play because of the left handed shot, look at some Vince Carter or Kobe Bryant moves and see whats really amazing.

Are you stupid? This shot isnt about the left hand, this shot shows just how fast Jordan's reaction time was. He was going for a dunk, then he THOUGHT ( or at least saw) one of the Lakers player wanted to try to block his dunk. So in split seconds, Jordan decided to switch it off to his left hand and lay it up. VC and Kobe? My ass...

Are you serious? Do you even play basketball...

This shot is so damn difficult.. you need core strength to get that hangtime... And to have the accuracy to hit it off the glass with your left hand?

I play ball almost every day this shit is damn near impossible.

I lived in Chicago at the time, and the next day, every little kid in the neighborhood was trying to do that shot on the playground near my apartment

Probably the most overrated move in the history of the league. MJ did that shot when no one even contested him.

It was a split second decision on his part. He was going up for the dunk, he thought Sam Perkins (who had unusually long arms) was going to contest it, so he switched to his left hand. If it had been a uncontested fastbreak with no defenders in sight, I agree it would have been silly. But it wasn't.
