The annual arrival of the NBA Finals each June evokes a special nostalgia, as memories of teams and legends past return to television screens and social media timelines.

More than any other of those aforementioned legends, almost every day this time of year seems to be the anniversary of a classic Michael Jordan Finals moment, and June 5 is no different.

A couple days after celebrating His Airness' famous shrug seen 'round the world, June 5 provides us an opportunity to rewatch and relive Jordan's incomparable mid-air switch in Game 2 of the 1991 Finals.

As Marv Albert so simply, yet effectively summed it up while being as aghast as the rest of MJ's audience, it was "a spectacular move by Michael Jordan."

Phil Jackson's face says it all. What else is there to do but shake your head?
