Michael Jordan DOMINATES 5v5 Pickup vs D1 Guys HIGHLIGHTS - July 1998 ** Rare Home Video Footage **

MJ goes off on the young guns!! Never before seen footage of classic Air Jordan on the court playing pickup with the top D1 Ballers. This was shot at his Summer Basketball Camp in Chicago on our VHS recorder (THANKS MOM!) and includes Shawn Marion, Nate James, Damone Brown, Mike Robinson, Shawn Lampley, Ike Bullock and many other D1 guys that would go on to play in the NBA and Overseas. ENJOY!!!
