Real speed footage of Michael Jordan taking flight 🐐

There�s at least 5 mfs on every team that can do this nowdays�yawn.

I guess that�s why the dunk contest is so much more entertaining these days.

To be fair the biggest issue with the dunk contest is that it's been going so long and there are so many of them plus we have creative dunkers we can just watch online on a random Wednesday that it's hard to do something original in the actual NBA contest at this point. There was a point when a honey dip was the pinnacle of jumping ability in a lot of people minds and now that's some run of the mill sh1t.

Even free throw line dunks are "ho hum" at this point.

The most underrated thing about MJ game was that he was genuinely really explosive. You see how often n1ggas was going for contests from good position and it didn't matter because if you jumped at the same time as him he was already higher than you. If you weren't early he was yammin that bi#ch.

He the GOAT and it isn't up for debate but when you watch n1ggas like Vince explosiveness jumps off the screen. It isn't just jumping high it's getting to that height quicker than the other n1ggas who also jump high.

Also it's what made Dikembe such a good shot blocker.

What's really crazy is Mike had a higher vert than Vince

I can say it enough.... 48 inch vert and he knew how to use that sh1t
One of the best layup packages ever
It's tough for the youth who never seen him play man I hated and loved him at the same damn time
But by the end of his Bulls run this Knick fan couldn't help but root for him and The Bulls
Crazy

There’s no one in the NBA that can do this.

Players today are so much more athletic they say. How can we keep saying that and then make excuses like this. If players are more athletic and more skilled these days they should easily be able to have better showmanship and creativity than past NBA dunk participants. If free throw line dunks are so mundane why don�t we see more participants at least try them for the nostalgic factor or add a new element to it like a windmill from the line dunk. It�s because it�s a myth that the current players are more skilled and athletic. That�s why a non NBA athlete keeps winning the contest. Jordan�s era was actually the most skilled era due to the fact it was the only era where athletes had to develop their skills in college for at least two years.

You are missing the point. Players are more athletic as a whole. Obviously the athletic, absolute genetic freaks even 50 years ago are impressive to this day but now you got mfs at your local 24hr fitness with 45 inch verts doing 720s and sh1t….

Not sure how this can be considered a myth. Modern players took inspiration and improved on it, year by year. That is literally how humans work in every walk of life.

There no one in today's sorry a$s watered down NBA more athletic than Michael Jordan.

I'm glad I grew up detriot mane we got see all local bulls games ..got to see Mike growing up more than others

I grew up in Northern Indiana all we did in my house was watch Mike. By 97-98 I was done wit him kinda the same feeling when Optimus Prime was killed off. I was done wit Transformers lol

I guess that�s why the dunk contest is so much more entertaining these days.
