Michael Jordan 1987: Full Dunk Contest

[@essquared24]

look at the air look at the hangtime look at the flying motion! look at his head above the rim! ICONIC!

[@harmonicdissent]

It's statuesque. There's beauty. It can be captured in slow motion like a god. It's what made us think about the game and appreciate it growing up. It made the game demand more from us. I loved that. That was everything and it was fun.

[@alaricfinn9801]

i realize I am kind of randomly asking but do anyone know of a good site to watch new movies online?

@Orion Odin Thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I really appreciate it !

[@orionodin368]

@Alaric Finn You are welcome xD

[@uberathlete]

That leaner dunk is one of the most beautiful dunks ever. Nobody does the leaner like Mike.

Damn...you realize how much more amazing the dunks are by Jordan when they are shown in slow motion. Incredible.

[@MrAlexBubba]

Jordan looks like he’s floating, it’s insane how much he made real life look like a video game

[@johnsmoke889900]

There might be people that jump higher than Jordan, might be more explosive, and can do more tricks in the air, but no one will ever look as beautiful while in the air. It literally looks like he is flying. Jordan is an artist and the air is his canvas

[@deshawnthomas9023]

EXAXTLY! Perfectly put

[@theterra-path7798]

There was nobody in his time that could jump higher. Jordan was the only player in the league with a 40 inch vert. The thing that makes Jordan so unique is the uncanny body control he possesses. To me he is the greatest "jumper" and "glider" of all the time. While Vince Carter focuses on flash and fiery finishes, Jordan goes up and hangs in the air and makes subtle adjustments to completion. Simply the GOAT

[@sicwititdimeful]

wrong he had the best leg action

[@ClaudiaBaws213]

Because there showing it in slow motion you idiot

[@jarvasedundy1]

Jordan has the 3rd highest vertical jump in NBA history lol

[@83HURSTROCKET]

Michael was art. No one has been able to fly in the air like air Jordan

[@tjplaya5898]

MJ's dunk where he takes off right outside the lane, almost gets parallel to the court, in a flying motion, was breathtaking...to me, the best slam dunk in competition, until Vince Carter in 2000. Also, his free throw line dunk is iconic- the best one ever from the line, one hand- double clutch

[@sdawg4834]

Jordan's 1987 dunk contest will always be my favorite. The slow motion from each of MJ's dunks look like he's flying and I cannot say that about any other player in Basketball then and even today's players. I'm not saying other dunkers dont have skills but they don't look as if they are walking on air like MJ does.

[@hushg2000]

Jordan the greatest dunker of all time in my book... Why people ask? Because his dunks in the air defined ART... As soon as you saw it in slow motion, the ART revealed itself! ... No one has yet come close to this type of ballet & astronomical art on AIR..... Simply beautiful!!

[@blacksheep9278]

hushg2000 Vince Carter is the best

[@Carphonic]

5:52 the dude holding the 69 sign XD

[@abnerapineru1428]

Tekashi fan from way back 😂😂😂 🌈

[@minionguy6996]

The intro music reminded me of the 1980 cartoon intro music from "Thundarr the Barbarian". Awesome! Lol

[@AaronT129]

Michael Jordan even makes dunking look beautiful!

[@blacksheep9278]

Aaron Thompson i don’t get it

[@tonioalvarez9496]

4:33 you’re welcome

[@TheQuantum09]

7:00 That dunk ALWAYS looks better in SLOW MOTION.

[@irondfsman565]

They were Jordan haters then and now look at the style they giving him 48 and 49 on perfect 50 dunks. That help his desire to be the best ever. Much love Jordan

[@IronMikeThyson]

now this is a dunk contest.

[@JeffHoopAdventure]

MJ's jumping form is beautiful.

[@thomascaputo7065]

I watched this so many times when I was a kid. My brother and I emulated every dunk.

[@breakdancingbusgo]

Great to see you get your channel back hoops. Thanks for this, amazing...

[@1968-b3n]

1st time that i officially ever dunked a basketball was March 1986 , i was 17 , damn it felt so Good

[@crusher914]

Thank you SO much for upping this. That is all.

[@JCR1992]

This was my favorite of the 3 dunk contests MJ was in. The double clutch at the free throw is remarkable, and of course the kiss the rim dunk there aren't enough words to describe that. Also, I always thought MJ should of the 85 dunk contest maybe I'm just bias but I always thought Dominique's dunk were very similar and lacked the style grace and creativity Jordan's dunks had. I know Wilkins was a power dunker but he still could of been more creative. Thats just my opinion.

[@majinj8c]

Thank u guys for this video!

[@sasuke3677]

6:40 *I just love this windmill dunk performed by Jordan* so much fun to watch

[@surewin1773]

Glad to see you back, Hoops!

[@Nemesis_SN]

Thanks for this!

[@marlonmosley]

The epic sound bite. The mutual gasp of some form by all earthlings who witnessed 7:02. Greatest dunk ever. 7:02. Goatness.

[@diegoguzman8843]

The Statue of Liberty at 2:10 was Amazing and executed Beautifully. Smooth and Fluid.

[@uberathlete]

I love that statue of liberty dunk

[@hanoman78]

Some dunks nowadays use theatrics to cover mediocre dunks.. Back then the dunks are just so beautiful to look at.. Jordan n Wilkins have that power and flair.. Soooo beautiful especially in slow motion 😍😍😍

[@Amir883]

Am I the only one who thinks Jerome Kersey's Dunk at 8:47 is pretty good. Almost a double windmill slam? Also although everyone likes Jordan's Leaner and Free Throw line dunk, I think his best was his 180 windmill from the dotted line that he did in '85 where he spun the ball around and dunked it behind his head.

[@NickGoesTrucking]

I've been trying to call you

[@Goodlifefarmer]

yes hoops your channel's back

[@VEGASGUYSHONUFF]

CLYDE'S DUNKS WERE SOOO ORDINARY AND UNIMAGINATIVE, IT LOOKED LIKE HE HAD BETTER THINGS TO DO!

[@ceejzilla]

7:10 brought a tear to my eyes...so sweet!

[@rice_goat80]

His Airness won his first dunk contest and averaged his career high in scoring 37.1 in 87 rocking the iconic OG Chicago Jordan 2s

[@DeDona1]

Jordan's leaner is the best dunk in NBA dunk contest history

[@Richiefreshhh]

You don't see passion in the game like this now days

[@Daveosbeatz]

The replay just gives it a whole other feel,his hang time is crazy but stansberry brought it and has good ball control.. I gotta search his film

[@tristramcoffin926]

There was a time teams felt a sense of pride surrounding All-Star weekend.

[@thomascaputo7065]

No one will ever fly like air Jordan.

[@popeyeisgood]

@Amir883 i think his best dunk was the one he did in magic johnson charity game when he palms the ball and swings all the way to almost hit his right foot and it is like he is drawing a rainbow on top of his head.

[@10moneyball]

look at the air look at hangtime look at the flying motion

[@MusicLuv80]

Still to this date Jordan has the second highest vertical in NBA history.

[@chrisfloyd9224]

Jordan had style

[@Ryzon28]

GREAT STUFF.......

[@iglesiasublimegraciaenharb8333]

Just got done seeing the 97 dunk contest and had to clean my eyes and immediately came here to see what it should look like

[@cl7255]

Michael Jordan is the G.O.A.T

[@ogoutdoors4202]

MJ =style

[@oneman9121]

5:07 Jumpman Logo

[@rexxrunna8822]

+Paolo Parisi yea thats the jumpman

[@jideksidad5983]

Nope

[@jrizzzle93]

thumbs up if u skipped to see only jordans dunks

[@jadentrez]

Mike's first dunk (I call it his "Nike dunk") was awesome. Yet the judges curiously gave him only a 41. They covered their tracks on his second dunk by giving it a better score than it deserved. But the other guys were all using their best dunks in the first round, while Mike was saving his best stuff for later, as he always did.

[@heyitsjae-in2079]

Everyone was flying like hell

[@rexxrunna8822]

the second dunk jordan did is the iconic jumpman symbol that is on the shoe

[@dallas4yfe]

The jumpman logo is from a magazine shoot

[@ravenr1420]

The Jumpman logo was filmed at a photo shoot years before. It was left handed and he didn't even do it on the run. The footage is easy to find

[@toobasaurus23]

Look at the air, look at the hang-time, look at the flying motion! MJ is the platinum standard of the NBA. I miss the 90's of the NBA. Lebron is good and bound for greatness, but as an all-round player of just shear determination and flat-out win at all costs mentality... Jordan will not be eclipsed fir a very long time. MJ 'Air' 23 forever. T23

[@shootbirdhero]

7:02 the crowd was stunned

[@Pac.Man.]

5:41.......what a finish !!! gotta love it !!!

[@AGC-ElUncleCoach]

He does the sideway dunk twice...and the second time gets a 50! He did the FT dunk 3 times in 2 years and in all gets a 50! You can tell that Nike, Wheaties and many other sponsors where working Hard to get him the win 😂😂😂 Ps: Its amazing how the contest is so much better now. Athleticism has evolved so much!!!

[@jakobwithak3805]

Blows my mind that there were so many 48-49s but this year so many 50s. When in fact all these dunks were better than those this year.

[@daxes9365]

+Jakob Krebs 2016 was the best of all time

[@greyfox2349]

dude watch vince carter!! dude will own Zach and eric lol best dunker in this planet by billion points

[@greyfox2349]

vince carter was the one and only man jumping over 7 feet 3! best dunk in history

[@dblr73]

He changed the way people dunked that year! Amazing!!!

[@stephenweathersby1054]

I remember watching this live and thinking the same thing that I'm thinking now....who hired the blind judge without a 10 card for Mike?

[@jasonpurifoy8474]

the kiss the rim=greatest dunk

[@kevincolderjr5058]

They wasn't ready for the best dunk ever

[@СлесарьЛеха]

flying legend

[@cooljjjj]

To be honest, MJ was lucky to have made it past the first round. I think he knew he had to step it up which is why his 3rd dunk was from the free throw line.

[@thesunchannel8806]

Omg was that awesome

[@RichardWolfe79]

I saw Jordan do the dunk at 8:06 in a game vs Celtics but can’t remember what year, help.

[@LuisSanchez-nz6wr]

MJ the greatest of all time!

[@darshan0023]

Cmon Jordan!!!!!!😎

[@MrBal1oonhands]

Even back then we were just as immature and put up 69s

[@raymondchow2828]

The judges didn't even know what they're seeing. Mj had to go back to the ft line dunk and leaner cause they're giving him 48s on dunks that should've been 50s. I have feeling that we missed out on some other creative dunk mj had in mind.

[@TheCubsforlife]

strawberry dunks where underrated

[@trevoredwards9749]

Does anyone know the intro music by slight chance???

[@DaMusicMane1]

I can't believe Clyde Drexler tried to copy MJ!! WTF who does that??? 5:24

[@solost6855]

All of his dunks were 50s except for 1… I don’t know what them judges smoking

[@iishyxvietxboyii1]

Some KZbin videos saying Jordan couldn’t jump higher than the rim. He literally had to duck his head couple times here…

[@AngelbertOcampo]

Jordan is the high flayer

[@BasketballEqualsFun]

I love that song in the introduction of this video! Does anyone know what the name/artist of it is? Ever since I heard that tune I have been aching to know what it is.
