[QUOTE="ASK_Story"]There are many like Dr. J's behind the backboard lay-in, Vince Carter jumping over a 7 footer, or Derek Fisher's miracle shot, but my personal favorite is when Michael Jordan switches the ball from one hand to the other in mid air and lays it in during his first Finals appearance against the Lakers. Everytime they show that I still "wow" at it. I think it's more amazing because he did in the Finals. I can still hear Marv Albert saying, "Michael Jordan, a SPECTACULAR move!"
Pretty awesome.

I'd argue against that one A) b/c I'm a Laker fan and still am bitter about that series and B) because it wasn't necessary for Jordan to switch hands on the play. He could have easily laid it in right-handed because no one went up to challenge the shot at all.
I can understand that you're a Lakers fan. But even if Jordan could've just laid it in, it still looked so awesome.
But I beg to differ. I saw the highlight on Youtube again and I think Jordan did that to fake one of the Laker's players. He also jumped almost close to the free throw line. You can clearly see the Lakers in the paint confused. It was a masterful move, IMO, the best I've ever seen.
Carter's dunk, Kobe's plays, Dr. J's move, Fisher's shot, etc. are all great, but that Jordan move just amazes me everytime I see it.
