One of the best NBA players in history, Michael Jordan is known for his excellent and possibly inhuman skills on the court. MJ is known by many as ‘His Airness’ or ‘Air Jordan’ or even ‘Black Jesus’. No matter how talented and unstoppable he seems as a player, he is just a human being in the end. That being said, human beings tend to make mistakes, so it shouldn’t really come as a surprise to see Jordan slip at times.

Two days after the Bulls vs Lakers game, MJ sat with Phil Jackson for a pre-game interview where he talked about the mishap. Halfway through the game, as MJ was going for the shot, the ball slipped out of his hand and went off the court. The incident went on to become the highlight of NBA bloopers back in the 90s. Jackson asked Jordan what he was thinking to do next when the little misfortune occurred on the court.

“I knew in my mind, I think I was gonna throw it off the backboard as I did in Miami win two years ago. I just got so d*mn anxious with the ball, I just couldn’t grab it and I kept trying to grab it. Next thing you know, it was gone. It was really embarrassing but everybody makes mistakes,” said Jordan.
