I almost dropped my phone when I witnessed a jaw-dropping sight while watching the Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals. It was a very difficult athletic move done by Jamal Murray late in the first-half of the game.

Murray's acrobatic lay-up.

Murray took a dish from Millsap on top of the key and then quickly split the defense by Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Anthony Davis. After that, instead of shooting a jumper, he decided to attack the basket closer only to be bothered by LeBron's defensive might. He's on the midair looking for a slam when LeBron leaped to attempt a block. Murray then bring the ball back under by switching the ball into his left hand and spin it all over again with his other hand under LeBron's outstretched arms, under the basket, on the other side of the ring. And the great thing is, it went in.

Jordan's hand-switching lay-up.

The people went crazy over the shot and commented that it was a close replication of the iconic move of Michael Jordan, the hand-switching lay-up. Although Murray's move was done in almost the same manner as Jordan's, the latter's move was a trigger point that builds a championship dynasty. Jordan did that during their first-ever Finals battle against Magic Johnson's Lakers. A coincidence?

LeBron ask the assignment on Murray.

The strong performance shown by Murray continued in the second half until LeBron decided to guard him. "LeBron asked for the assignment, and obviously I granted it," Lakers coach Frank Vogel said during a post-game interview. LeBron started guarding Murray in the last 5 minutes of the 4th quarter and after that, LeBron held Murray down to a 0/2 fg. He still managed to have 4 points via free throw, a courtesy of the other Lakers' foul. Eventually, the Lakers won the Game and now enjoying a 3-1 series advantage before heading in Game 5.
