Michael Jordan in his Athletic Prime. Enjoy :)

[010101]

Players don’t really do the cradle no more that’s some Dr. J, Gervin, Michael, Larry Nance shyt

As a dunker Jordan is cool I personally prefer just out the SG position Kobe, Carter, Richardson, Iggy, J.R. Smith. Got receipts too.

No shade Mike the G.O.A.T.

cats sleep on young swish bro had the most effortless bounce ever*

LeBron just had a cradle dunk against the rockets and it was a whole thread praising it.

You just don't see that style & grace anymore.I've never seen an athlete who was physically, so mathematically precise.

Mike had it all.Quick muscle twitch, explosion, hang time, and damn near meta-human scale balancing ability.Real life

Super Soldier Serum, Captain America type shyt.You'll see a guy with quick muscle twitch, but he won't have the hang time.

Explosion, no jelly.Mega hops, but no aesthetic flair/charisma.Jordan maxed out in all those categories concurrently.We haven't

seen somebody do that since.On top of all that, he was the most technically sound.Just a lethal combination, man.To me, he's

still the pinnacle of originality when it comes to the sport of basketball.He was the peak.I don't give a fukk what none of y'all gotta

say.I know what I saw

Dunk game crazy
Layup game crazy
Midrange game crazy
Shooting free throws with his eyes closed
Breh would foul his damn self while attempting no look layups

Seems like he was bored out there sometimes and would just challenge himself

I'll never understand this layup. Like what was the point of it other than to stunt

He went beyond just trying to put the ball in the hoop. He looked for different ways to put the ball in the hoop in a visually entertaining way. Master Performance Artist.

That's the part of sports - the visual aspect of it - that the greats excel at, that a lot of today's nerds ignore and don't want to talk about. They just want to look at numbers and not a player's actual game; but how the greats actually played the game is a large part of their greatness and what attracted fans.

Kobe has a whole reel of just 360 dunks and has nastier posters

To keep it a rack y’all overrate him as a dunker his jelly game is G.O.A.T. though

It’s all a matter of opinion of course

 

[Cynical Thoughts]

I know most of the stuff in the video I posted is beyond crazy but can someone please explain to me the 13:14 timestamp?

It can’t be explained breh

Old head cradle dunks unimpressive

You are arguing with yourself.

I was simply disagreeing w/ the poster saying that, MJ doesn’t have impressive fast break dunks. That’s it.

I didn’t say player X or Y didnt have better worse or the same type dunks. Just that I think MJ has impressive dunks also.

I can appreciate everything. Start a j.rich dunks thread and I’ll be the first to

THIS!!!!!!!!

Like nikkas forget we're ultimately here to be entertained. This isn't a fukking simulation. You can't create an algorithm to maximize 'spectacle'-- which is what professional sports are. It's not a matter of life or death, so perfection should never be the literal objective.

MJ>Kobe>LeBron when it comes to in game dunks in their primes.

 

[Diondon]

Breh walked on air

 

[god shamgod]

Not his athletic prime but I always loved this dunk

this one too, rookie jordan

 

[jadillac]

I literally don’t understand how guys don’t model their games after him kobe was proof. Fundamentals always win out

Kobe wasn't proof of that tho. Everybody wanted to be "like Mike". Many tried, most failed to emulate him. Some tried to copy him and then ended up finding their own game, which was good for them.

Kobe was going to be great anyway, but once he saw a guy(Jordan) with similar build, similar skillset, he knew that was the way to go. I mean other than Clyde Drexler, or Mitch Richmond etc., who was Kobe gonna model his game after?

still RIP Kobe

Nah

Like I said Kobe has a whole reel of 360 dunks. I’ve never seen MJ do a 360.

Kobe’s posters over Ben Wallace and Dwight Howard are better than any of MJ’s posters sack on face with power

Kobe hop step wrap around 180 against Denver>>

Kobe reverse windmill against the Knicks and T’Wolves>>

Those Kawhi big hand nikka dunks aren’t that lit

He had a handful of cradle dunks early in his career in terms of creativity I don’t see how y’all putting him above certain nikkas I’m sorry and y’all OD’ing with the aesthetic slow motion shyt

 

[010101]

He’s not a better in game dunker than them

Like I said Kobe has a whole reel of 360 dunks. I’ve never seen MJ do a 360.

Kobe hop step wrap around 180>>

kobe was more fluent & slippery with it.........not as explosive much more effortless*
