Slowmo MJ highlights don't do his athleticism justice.... Here he is posterin Laimbeer from a courtside angle, unreal explosion and speed

Got damn

This the one where he took off near FT line



Oldheads that caught MJ live in person how would you compare it to modern players just only on the athleticism? Antman?

There have been players who jumped higher but MJ had it all - speed, quickness, agility, vert, wingspan and hands, and in later years, strength to post up and back down defenders, rarely got injured outside of the early foot injury and the Wizards years and was available for 82 games for most of his career and one of the highest BBIQ & legendary work ethic and competitiveness to maximize his god given abilities. Was really a cheat code.
