Iconic Moments
Swoosh Kid
What a legendary performance to win and sign off from competition. It takes a lot of know-how to pull off something like that. He was a master shooter, and he owned the three-point contest. The man didn't even bother taking his jacket off to destroy his fellow contestants. (Image: imgur.com)
FOCUS
Look at the level of concentration in his eyes. He was thoroughly focused on the job. He probably didn't take his jacket off because he thought it was lucky. Unlike a lot of others, he did it without using the jump shot too. Very skillful indeed. (Image: imgur.com)
Best Shot
The legend can be seen letting out a wry smile after scoring a point. He knows he was always going to make the shot. He was the best shooter in the game at the time, and arguably one of the best ever in the history of the sport. (Image: imgur.com)
Sharp Shooter
He's in his elements again. With a three-point Field Goal Percentage of .376 across his career, he was also good from close range. His Field Goal percentage of .496 testifies to that fact. His career PPG stands at 24.3 and firmly cements his place in our records. (Image: imgur.com)
Nosy Mosy
We wanted to traverse into a rather juvenile territory with his profile. Which is why we've put him under the microscope to figure out if we could roast him at all. What we've discovered is that he has a slightly large nose. It has a stark resemblance to a double-barreled shotgun. (Image: imgur.com)
Birds Need Peckers
Does the man peck his food with his nose? Only if he thinks he's an actual bird. It would be quite a sight. Does it increase his sense of smell? Bloodhounds need to watch out. If law enforcement has made this observation too, they could be using him to track the scent of criminals. Watch out for him if you've done something wrong and are on the run. (Image: imgur.com)

Bird Car - What does he drive?
Car manufacturers couldn't figure out a way to fit his nose in a car. They were already having problems with the limbs. That's why he drives an open-seater. (Image: imgur.com)
