Michael Jordan Footwork Mixtape Vol.1

[@JPLMONEY23]

"You reach, I teach." - MJ

[@businesspartners619]

MJ's other secret gift was that he had relatively small feet for his height (size 13), which allowed him to move his feet as quick as smaller guards. Combined with his supergiant hands, he literally was the perfect frame for basketball with everything else in perfect balance. Never seen anything like it. Absolute perfection.

[@boogieloo1831]

Business Partners - exactly. His body was basketball perfect. And a 6'11"" wingspan to boot.

[@anonymoususer2080]

Even crazier, his parents are only 5'8, making his 6'6 height an absolute miracle

[@user-nm5nk1xz6t]

Isn't it harder for u to move your body if your foot size is smaller compared to your body?

[@danieltaylor9459]

@^^^ Well I mean...size 13 are still relatively large compared to the average male. Shit...I’m 6’1...and depending on brand I’m usually right around a 10-10.5

This is gorgeous to watch. Absolutely beautiful how Jordan moves, he is basketball perfection, and I find it odd how people can even compare Jordan to Lebron. There is absolutely no comparison, the fluidity of motion Jordan has, the perfect jump shot, the dazzling ball fakes and dribbling evasions, the absolutely unmatched creativity at the basket. Quite simply the GOAT

Compare Jordan footwork vs Lebron's footwork and you will get 2 completely different videos.

Welp lebron games focuses on his athletic and passing abilities. Two complete different playstyle but still Mj is my Goat

[@snakebitten6967]

How can anyone think Lebron is more athletic? MJ was athletic perfection with all time high IQ, handles, shooting, passing and defending skills all in one, even old. Lebron is clumsy by comparison to “old” Jordan and doesn’t have anywhere near the arsenal, athletic ability, skill etc. He can’t defend well for more than half his career, is a terrible shooter, average handles that leads to massive TO’s, no go to moves other than playing football and getting cheap and 1’s and bail out fouls by ref’s etc. I watched highlights of both back to back and I just don’t see a comparison in any way, shape or form. I also looked at his passing vs Magic. No comparison. I don’t get this supposed debate between Lebron and any of the top greats. I could care less about numbers as the league has been exposed on its numbers cheating with assists, rebounds etc. The eye test exposes the narratives badly.

[@grasz]

Not talkin abt how he kept scoring on big centers like prime ewing, but the facted that he can even go striaght into Yao an score on him along with other guards on him is just absurd. I'm talkin abt YAO. The guy that even Shaq had to put work on to get by. Not to mention that he just purely toy with garnett, pierce..etc with fundamentals at his Wizards TIME. Black Jesus christ!!

Kobe's footwork was more complex than Mike's. Mike's footwork was as basic as it gets. Both were equally effective. But I think Mike's combined strength and basic footwork in the post is more superior than Kobe's.

[@bancholeo55]

And you can even link it to their games: Mike appears to post more than Kobe as you put it, so he developed to be more proficient. Kobe was a better shooter and we see how he implements that with his complex footwork to get that shot from anywhere and on basically anyone. "Form follows function" holds especially true here. I agree with your insight. 👍🏾

[@jeraldvincentzumel5300]

@@bancholeo55 agree. Kobe might have put up the most difficult shots in history from the perimeter. He has this ability to pivot and spin to either direction and just shoot the ball like a normal jumpshot. Mike had a better shot selection though. He didnt shoot as much from the perimeter unless he had you beat in the post or he was open. What he did more though was muscle his way in the post and either slam it home or shoot the fadeaway. You're right,you can actually link these things and piece them together.

[@crisaracon7379]

Kobe's footwork more complex than MJ REALLY. Or he can't create space like MJ. Not to mention MJs hands allowed him to take control of the ball without getting stolen. MORE DOESN'T MEAN COMPLEX. HE'S JUST HAVING A HARD TIME CREATING SPACE WHICH REQUIRES HIM TO DO MORE. SAME GOES WITH HIS HANDLES WHICH IS NOWHERE AS TIGHT AS KAWHI OR MJ. HE HAS TO DRIBBLE COZ HE'S HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING A SHOT OFF IN ONE OR TWO DRIBBLES SOMETIMES CAUSING HIM TO DRIBBLE TEN TIMES AND EVEN MORE. IT DOESN'T MEAN HE HAS GREAT HANDLES. IT ONLY ALLOWED DEFENSE TO RECOVER.

His speech pattern became eerily similar to Mike's also. The list goes on and on.
