"Michael Jordan's ICONIC mid-air switch layup is BASIC!": NBA Twitter trolls Nick Wright for his daft take about the Bulls GOAT

NBA analyst Nick Wright has an outrageous take about Michael Jordan, gets trolled for the same by NBA Twitter

The NBA has been there for 75 years now, and in those 75 years, there have been some amazing moments. Every year, we see moments that define the season, but there are very few of those that actually stick around for long. One of those moments was Kawhi Leonard‘s Game 7 buzzer beater against the Sixers in 2019.

One such shot was attempted by Michael Jordan in Game 2 of the 1991 NBA Finals. The Bulls were hosting the Lakers, and MJ took the game over. On a drive to the basket, MJ switched the ball from his right hand to left, mid-air, and made the basket.

Everyone agrees it was an iconic shot, something for the ages. Everyone except Nick Wright.

Nick Wright gets trolled by NBA Twitter for calling Michael Jordan’s shot basic

Known for his outrageous takes, Nick Wright had yet another one of those. This time, he went on to call one of Michael Jordan’s iconic shots basic.

In no world is it simple to take off from one side, go in for a dunk, decide last second to switch hands, and lay the ball in using your off hand. NBA Twitter agreed with the same, and went after Wright for his take.
