The free throw line dunk at the end is the best poster ever. Perfect timing on the photo showing Jordan with his legs and left arm back like he's flying. Iconic.
I managed to do that once...but only on the Playstation. But even then it was an uplifting feeling to have achieved something so unique. And yet I can only imagine what it must be like to complete it "for real".
I personally believe kobe is the goat. A young kobe bryant gave jordan who was at his prime, problems. Todays basketball players are much more athletic than today. In todays time Jordan would be average. He did win 6 i give him that. However... kobes competition was much much much more harder than jordans. Jordan played an old karl malone, old stockton, a one man army charles barkley. Kobe had shaq, BUT Jordan had pippen, rodman, and a really good bench. Even when Jordan retired that team still won 50+ games. So whats my point? Just because he won doesnt really prove anything. Unlike lebron, kobe was an alpha and won more after shaq
10:39-10:40....Cameraman almost deprived us of this iconic moment. ...... This is the most beautiful free throw line dunk ever. All the flair, the power, the height & length at spare...
Man In Black that shows improvement in creativity, SOME of the dunks in the videos here would earn a 35-40 in today's dunk contests, can you imagine someone doing that Aaron Gordon dunk off the side of the board in the 80s😂😂
What an epic memory! Thank you for posting, all three of these players were amazing and it brought much joy to my heart then and even more now. The greatest era in basketball ever!!
It is not about the difficulty of his dunks, as a matter of fact they are so common. But his aerodynamics was unarguably the reason he won it. He was so beautiful in mid-air especially when you replay it in slowmo.
Kobe was one of the only players to ever get so near to his skill in clutch time. Even MJ said that Kobe might be able to beat him cuz he was able to copy his playing style
Mark The FaceZone TV Im here from the future to tell you we seen those same dunks he did every year and it’s boring. Aaron Gordon and Zach LaVine have the best dunk contest ever. Gordon sat down mid air over a mascot on a hoverboard Catch up
Jordan is one most gifted players of all time. He played because he loved the game. Today's players care only about the Money and attention they crave!
Lmao thts so disrespectful to the people who work their ass off to play their dream sport as a job. Keep commenting under TH-cam videos with your irrelevant opinions
You dont understand the Amount of Pressure the amount of Doubt These players risked and sacraficed everything They had just to even make it to College When they get drafted All their Hard work and sacrafices Paid off So they have nothing left to prove as what they only have to do is play the game.
1. This is so pixelated I almost thought I was watching a 90’s video game. 2. “That’s what I call the Chinese Superman dunk, he flies sideways and a little slanted” damn I’d like to hear them get away with saying that in 2018
Yea that's a time when commentators, "MEN" still had some sack left. Now a day they pussy foot around. Before you know it men will have vaginas. Time to reinstate the first amendment right.
People got away with racist slurs because people allowed them too and social media was not around for them to get caught online. Your audience was limited to the people watching the show live or on TV. The majority of people today are still racist but they do it inside the closet for fear of being chastised in social media. No way you can get away with that kind of shit today with the online media at your back.
Yup, I had all the posters that can out of the Wheaties box. I love michael, greatest basketball player EVER. The sneakers he has on are the best Jordan's ever. Air Jordan Cement 3's 1988.
Michael was the king his dunks were Amazing, Creative, Ahead of his time, Fantastic player and Athlete of the Century his Unstoppable, Genuine Plays, he was Elastic, Powerful and Fast, with a Great Skill with the ball, the Best by far of all Time that surpassed thousands of Rivals who were also Good in their Time.
M.J. brought life to the NBA , brought rythem, brought extreme, talent forever flourish throughout the league because of this man . One of the ultimate amongst stars dat came and gone . Still to this day who wouldn't wanna a pair of j's.?
a lot more people could do it if they'd make the basketball a bit smaller. palming it is super important to a lot of the moves Jordan did, try dunking from the FT line with TWO hands.
For people saying Vince is the best slam dunk contestant. Jordan did the elbow dunk but from the opposite side of the basket. His head was at the rim. Off one leg. Vince leaped with both legs.
No other player has moved with such elegance. That always impressed me so much. I would have liked to play handball as beautifully as Michael Jordan played basketball. And even though he so demoralized my Sonics around Gary Payton, Kemp and Schrempf, to me he was always the best athlete this planet has ever seen. It was an honor to have been able to see such a player.
Not to sound cliche, but looking at Michaels full uniform up and down, reminds me of Superman. Just looking at the original AJ3s with that red uniform, as he's preparing for a dunk, is priceless, especially without the knee brace. It' just the shoes, uniform, and that original AJ ball/wings logo wristband. Both logos at the same time, priceless, man.
sy masih punya dlm bentuk poster thn 1988 saat Jordan Juara slamdunk 1988 ini dishoot foto angle dari bawah ke atas,,,terlihat terbang elegan,,,,fly slam dunk with Michael Jordan #AirJordan
What a difference between back then and today. The announcer actually called a dunk the Chinese Superman because it had a bit of a "slant" to it. What the hell 🤣
Just listen to him here. This is Michael freaking Jordan saying he was scared before a dunk. That’s like me saying I was scared to miss the toilet when sitting down. People just seemed more human yet more remarkable back then in the 80’s and 90’s.
Strangely reminds me of Simone Biles afraid to do a routine but MJ didn't wasn't scared. So people need to stop calling her the MJ of gymnastics please. There is only one MJ as far Drive Kobe got close...LeBron HELL NO!!!
When you watch his dunks in slow motion it's amazing how high he jumps and the flair he has. 🔥
The free throw line dunk at the end is the best poster ever. Perfect timing on the photo showing Jordan with his legs and left arm back like he's flying. Iconic.
I managed to do that once...but only on the Playstation. But even then it was an uplifting feeling to have achieved something so unique. And yet I can only imagine what it must be like to complete it "for real".
He’s so smooth and makes it look so easy. The way he palms the ball is like how I would palm a tennis ball.
Michael Jordan is the greatest Basketball player ever

Lebron is the real G.O.A.T

Even the way he palms the ball when he's getting ready to do a dunk is amazing.
I've never been seen a dunk like this, a glaumor, eliigant moves, very artistic, no gravity MJ's airness
"Wow! Ang ganda!!!..."
Wow, Mickael Jordan was such a legend, I mean whenever you bought tickets for a michael Jordan game you knew that you were in for a treat.
Michael, stupid auto correct!
Being a kid I used to watch MJ play. MJ changed the game into a 4th dimensional type game. In other words he took the game to next level.
I remember watching this live. No one dunk'd with more grace than MJ.
Kenny sky walker was close or dr j
Oh you old old
@@migelrothschild4370 LOLL
Who else here after watching 2020 all star dunk contest ?
Straight up. Gordon was robbed
me!!
the type of dunks have definitely improved and evolved since 1988😂😂
Rico Sebastiani
Not really. They are now using props/people. I like the acrobatics and style all on your own with no props.
Man In Black that shows improvement in creativity, SOME of the dunks in the videos here would earn a 35-40 in today's dunk contests, can you imagine someone doing that Aaron Gordon dunk off the side of the board in the 80s😂😂
Anyone can dunk,, but none can fly like him,, thank you mr. Jordan
What an epic memory! Thank you for posting, all three of these players were amazing and it brought much joy to my heart then and even more now. The greatest era in basketball ever!!
I miss that time
I always thought Drexler had the most beautiful dunks. Kinda forgotten now, but check out his unreal glides to the hoops
@@atlebakke they were beautiful.
It is not about the difficulty of his dunks, as a matter of fact they are so common. But his aerodynamics was unarguably the reason he won it. He was so beautiful in mid-air especially when you replay it in slowmo.
Not common in that time.
MJ broke boundaries, made people believe the impossible was possible.
The Goat MJ
Michael is the best player ever
+Paulo Mrzan No doubt about that,but on the other side he was a player with the worst possible attitude in the league.
+Milan Karakusevic it's called competitive attitude
+Torn Gaming Then why does he still have an attitude?
Not truth many basketballers was better
Ever heard of Magic Johnson? Lebron James? Larry Bird? Look em up.
Michal Jordan was and will be the best ever, don’t remember anyone better in clutch situations then Mr Jordan.
Kobe was one of the only players to ever get so near to his skill in clutch time. Even MJ said that Kobe might be able to beat him cuz he was able to copy his playing style
9be was just that a copycat 9f MJ
Cause Kobe knew MJ was pure perfection
Michael Jordan , mi ídolo de juventud , el mejor jugador de baloncesto de toda la historia...
Exacto el mejor
That was a awesome performance by Michael Jordan in the 1988 Slam Dunk Contest.

You dont understand the Amount of

These players risked and sacraficed everything
They had just to even make it to College
When they get drafted
All their Hard work and sacrafices
Paid off
So they have nothing left to prove as what they only have to do is play the game.
patrick mcglone they do care or at least a lot do
No one can fly smooth like jordan

It’s amazing how he palms the ball. He holds it like I would a baseball.
His hands were huge

Jordan is Legend
After watching that dunk contest yesterday I can only imagine Jordan crying.
Even With 32 Year Old Picture Technology, STILL FREAKIN' AMAZING!!!
Happy Birthday Michael Jordan
El mejor recuerdo de historia de nba y baloncestista de mundo 👑👑👑
Nadie más puedra ser más espectacular que MJ. Fue lo mejor que el basket pudo haber dado.
His head was on the level of the rim in his last freethrow line dunk..impressive
And at 5:46
Mt. Rushmore of underrated dunks… Jordan with the poster we all had and finishing with the elbow slam.
Yup, I had all the posters that can out of the Wheaties box. I love michael, greatest basketball player EVER. The sneakers he has on are the best Jordan's ever. Air Jordan Cement 3's 1988.
Back in the days when dunks doesn't need props just to be great

EL MEJOR DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS...

The goat of basketball
dunking is about 1000 times more impressive when you can palm the ball like Jordan
I would like too see you or name a player that can dunk from the free throw line not too many
a lot more people could do it if they'd make the basketball a bit smaller. palming it is super important to a lot of the moves Jordan did, try dunking from the FT line with TWO hands.
SniffyPoo I'm 14 and I can palm the ball both hands
And this I's how Nike logo came into play goat mj

Thank you for the awesome post. It helped me right now. Basketball peeked in some ways back then. Peace and love. ty
Vince Carter to me is the best in game Dunker of all time. Michael Jordan is the best Slam dunk champion of all time. ✊🏿
El máximo líder de toda la historia del baloncesto Jordan por siempre
Michael air Jordan one of my favorite NBA player in history
Chinese super man b/c there’s a little slant 😂...can’t say that nowadays.
For people saying Vince is the best slam dunk contestant. Jordan did the elbow dunk but from the opposite side of the basket. His head was at the rim. Off one leg. Vince leaped with both legs.
You cant help but to watch MJ the golden days
I love all of his special moves
How could MJ jump like that??? I know, He didn't jump, He flew!!!
GOAT!!!
Fabrico (FF) from Brazil
The camera flashes make it so much better

This is when basketball changed forever.
10:38. dude tried to trip him lol
No other player has moved with such elegance. That always impressed me so much. I would have liked to play handball as beautifully as Michael Jordan played basketball.

That was some killer dunks of Michael Jordan

he was so smooth, in his play and his style.
The living legend in basketball
Who's here cuz of the 2021 dunk contest
Reverse honeydip off one leg. Just mind blowing
Anyone catch the commentator coining his dunk, "The Chinese Superman" @4:02 because it was slanted? Interesting...
Dwaynerade lol
yeah and it's hilarious. Back when people weren't always scared to make jokes. Fuck off if you're offended by that. Chinese Superman, bitch.
HAHA!!! Couldn't get away with that today... Much like a lot that happened on the court back then.

Dominique got jerked
Lol
I love that he dribbles the ball
Something about MJ that every dunk is posterized. Nothing too fancy and no gimmicks used but purely style points. He is the GOAT.
3:22 he almost knocked his damn self out with the ball LMFAO!
2:43 the iconic free throw line shot
DR JAY first one to do it.
"He said earlier, sometimes he doesn't decide until he's in the air." 😂 A TRUE FLYER!
MJ.. The Best Ever!!!!
I would like to see the guy whos shot the photography of the free throw jump....the greatet jump ever made of the NBA history..amazing Michael

@ 9:50 Dominique is like "again? Come on Mike" lol
im stuck watchin this durin the 2018 dunk contest
Jordan once said the perfect dunk would be a 360 from the free throw line
And the jump man logo was born!!!
VanishingImage the jumpman logo was the silhouette of a studio shot. Google “jumpman poster” to see it and read about the lawsuit it provoked.
Last dunk is Legendary dunk!
No one compare legend
MJ. GREATEST OF ALL TIME🏀
El mejor del planeta para siempre Michael Jordan 💖
you need slowmo to truly appreciate his dunks.
