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.

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.
