Some players always impress with their amazing moves. However, Michael Jordan is one of the few players who put on a show every night he stepped on the court. Some of his moves left the commentators speechless.
Similarly, in a game against the Cavaliers, he left the commentators stunned. While it was not an impressive dunk, or a layup, it sure defied the simple basketball move itself.

Michael Jordan Wraps it Around with his Same Hand
In 1988, the Chicago Bulls played against the Cleveland Cavaliers. During an offensive possession, the Cavs missed a three-point shot. Then the ball went back to the Bulls. However, they almost lost the ball at mid-court, but Michael came in with the astonishing move.
He prevented a steal from the defender with a great wrap around dribble. But Jordan wrapped it around with the same right hand. This left the commentators in shock because normally players wrap it around with both their hands.
MJ then ended the possession by drawing a foul on to himself. Unsurprisingly, the 6 time champion hit both the free throws. The Bulls looked in a commanding position in the 3rd quarter. Chicago was up by 13 points after MJ made his free throws.
But, did the game go as smooth as the ‘Windy City’ would have liked?
Cleveland cut it close
With the 13 point lead, many would say the Bulls will win without question. But Cleveland had other plans. They did not go down without putting up a valiant fight of their own.

Shockingly, Chicago only won by a single point with the score 111-110. Michael Jordan put up a game high 39 points to secure the win for the Bulls.
Cleveland stepped up big time in the second half. Larry Nance put up the best stat line in the game as he ended with 29 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 6 blocks. Stephen Curry’s father, Dell Curry, gave a tremendous boost coming off the bench as well. He accumulated 24 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 steals.
