A lot of the layups he made couldn't have been duplicated by any player in NBA history. Think about that. With all the freakish athletes and the popularity of basketball, his skill set is still that unique. One of the best leapers ever, HUGE hands, dexterity, creativity...

You Will Remember The Play is One Of The Greatest Example Of His Enormous Big Hands, The Great Body Control, Air Suspended, Even Thinking His Next Move, While He's Floating in The Air. 👉🏽Fly #23 M.J.

It's not that hard actually, basketball can be fixed by removing the 3 point line. It will revert to inside basketball again because that would be the highest percentage shot to take. Dunking and laying it up. That would be very exciting to watch. We would get big dominant bigs again.

[@LazyCrazyGuy]

​​@@impacc4182clearly you don't know much and you're talking out your cheeks. Jordan retired in 2003 and LeBum didn't dominate nothing. He played in a weak Eastern Conference that managed to get him to lots of Finals appearances and almost as many losses because the West was deep. His 2007 Finals run consisted of beating not one but two .500 teams in the Nets and Wizards while his team was .609 on the season. The only team worth mentioning that he beat was the .646 Pistons. Then he and his Cavs got dismantled in a sweep by the .707 Spurs. That conference is so weak that the Pistons would have been a 4th seed in the West while being 1st in the East. Cavs would have been a 6th seed in the West instead of 2nd in the East 😅 LeBum wouldn't be seen again until 2011 where he got locked up by a 35 year old Jason Terry and held him to a measly 8 points in game 5 of the Finals while LeQueen joined a superteam with Wade and Bosh. Meanwhile Dirk carried his 2011 Mavericks to a championship being the sole Superstar on that team and being the leading scorer on his team every game. Dirk would have more rings than LeJumpToANewSuperTeam if Dirk took the LeNeedsMoreHelp approach. Don't mention that bum in videos showing the GOAT 🐐 MJ. Mike would have made LeQuit cry on the court if he wasn't an investor for the Wizards. He was nice at that point in his career.

Only saw D. Rose do some of these. It meant that you really had to get into someone's face and space. It caused many ballers injuries except Jordan for some reason

[@jaulj8]

Jordan had the height, wingspan and large hands plus great core control.

[@dannytarver4533]

​@@jaulj8was just about to say that,he blocks his face with his arms, he dips around people at the last sec and he's pretty strong. His grip is serious, he went through the Pistons, someone blocked the ball and he pushed straight through and laid it up...cool

Jordan was just pure poetry in motion!

[@altarego7]

I feel so damn lucky to have been around to watch MJ during those prime years. WHEW. Young folks can't fully understand the gloriousness of Jordan without having seen him back then.

[@rayrawket]

Almost 40 years old clips and I’m still like damn Mike was a different breed I’m sorry for those who didn’t get to witness the art show he put on night in and night out…no load management

[@highlyunprofessionalreviews]

100%. These kids missed something extremely, extremely rare and special.

[@lorz2385]

No one missed anything. Everyone can literally rewatch all those games anytime.

[@highlyunprofessionalreviews]

@@lorz2385 No. You’re wrong.

[@rayrawket]

@@lorz2385 probably so but it’s not the same as watching em now as an 18 year old vs watching it as it was happening. Won’t have the same appeal and feeling

[@lorz2385]

@@highlyunprofessionalreviews , there's nothing better than being young. Everyone can see what you saw, so there's nothing special about that.

MJ doesn’t just jump… he glides!

[@topspot4834]

[@jb2814]

He is making it look so easy. Artistry and poetry in motion

[@JHam2023]

Imagine going against the Pistons, going for a layup/dunk knowing you gonna get hit and sent to the floor hard…yet, he still keeps going at ‘em and doing GOAT things. Amazing times to be a teenager watching Jordan play

[@javierrodriguez-fonseca4717]

The thing with MJ is that he was and has been the only player that regularly defied gravity!!! This astonishing, though not exhaustive, marvelous sample let clear to anyone, particularly to NBA younger followers, why his nickname was AIR!!!

[@celedoniorodriguez4535]

MJ best to the best

[@mikiseifu989]

Many can jump high, I think only MJ floats sideways

[@solsoul6669]

Never thought about it that way. Very true

[@ThePrufessa]

He literally coined (or inspired it) the phrase hang time.

[@LazyCrazyGuy]

He reminds me of how Princess Peach would float in Super Mario Bros. 2. Only old heads gonna understand what I'm talking about 😅

It amazes me that after all of these years and when you look back on basketball throughout the years, there's no one, No One that comes close to having this type of ability and creativity. Remember, he's the Michael Jordan of whatever sport you're talking about. Who else do you hear those terms being referenced to? No One but Maybe Ali or Ruth!!

[@seanwright8786]

No One. He's the supreme in basketball. Point blank.

[@impacc4182]

Relax with that “no one comes close” bs you Jordan nut huggers act like we haven’t got more skilled player after Jordan retired

[@willmerhernandez4976]

The faces of the players on the bench are truly a poem!! WOW it's awesome!!

[@yungprob242]

The elusiveness is unmatched!!!
