24 years ago: Michael Jordan did the iconic switch of the hands

Posted Jun 6, 2015
One of the more iconic moments of Michael Jordan's career, especially in his drive for the first of six titles, happened 24 years ago Friday when the Chicago Bulls evened up the series against the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1991 NBA Finals. Jordan started to go for the right-handed shot at the rim, only to inexplicably switch hands and try to defend himself since the Lakers certainly weren't going to do it. (CBS Sports)
