The Charlotte Hornets played against the Milwaukee Bucks tonight at the Spectrum Center. The Bucks won the game 105-96.

Mason Plumlee is a veteran of Michael Jordan’s Hornets. The 32-year-old, who’s primarily right-handed, threw the ball with utter ease with his left hand. The reactions from the Bucks’ side were priceless. The ball, in perfect suspense, rolled around the rim, before diving through the net. It seemed like he was honoring another Charlotte legend, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist with this jumper.
The NBA world also responded to this unbelievable play. One user wrote, “No one should have to witness that“. Others had similar jaw-dropping, questioning looks just as the Bucks team’s reaction.
