The greatest basketball player of all time, Michael Jordan, once displayed his skill by making a free throw while keeping his eyes closed.

The legendary Chicago Bulls player was known for his tough playmaking, which rendered him nearly unplayable for the majority of his career. During his two stints with the Bulls, Jordan won six NBA titles, twice going three-for-two and earning MVP honors for all six of those games.

He demonstrated that he could occasionally have a little fun despite his unwavering drive for achievement when he made a three-point shot with his eyes closed.

When the incident happened in 1991, Jordan scored 37 points in a game against the Denver Nuggets while the Bulls were playing. The legendary number 23 tried to dunk on then-rookie Dikembe Mutombo, but he was unsuccessful despite his incredible performance. In a 2014 interview with Pete Holmes, Mutombo revealed that Jordan tried the no-look free throw as a joke on him. After Jordan’s brief retirement, the two maintained their rivalry into his second stint. Before the 1997 NBA All Star Game, Jordan was caught on camera speaking with Mutombo in the Eastern Conference team’s locker room.

When the two men talked about whether or not Jordan had ever dunked on the former star of the Atlanta Hawks, the center remarked, “For real Mike, you haven’t got me yet.” MJ shot back, stating, “Don’t even try it,” then admitted that he hadn’t acquired Mutombo “recently,” much to the player for the Hawks’ chagrin. When they played Jordan again, he made sure to dunk on his opponent and made sure Mutombo knew what had transpired.

Jordan retired for the second time after winning his sixth and final NBA championship with the Bulls in 1998, before coming out of retirement again in 2001 to play for the Washington Wizards.
