This guy was a god when I used to play lacrosse. This is so nostalgic. He signed my high school lacrosse jacket at lacrosse unlimited. I watched this video 5000 times.
Mikey was a fucking beast at lacrosse i have never seen any other pro players with the kinda swag he carried, the moves he had on the defense breakin their ankles half the time and then all the tricks he had up his sleeves with all the behind the back, and jumping across the crease behind the goal and scoring who does that???
His reflexes are so quick. He also reads the position of the defensive players so well. I've never seen someone this quick before. The defense must feel like fools when he pulls moves like that.
You have to respect the guy for living his own life. College lacrosse was and will be for a while the premier form of lacrosse. Comparing his decision to that of Jordan's is ridiculous. A professional lacrosse players life is entirely different from that of a professional basketball players or hockey player. Why should he care about a legacy in pro lacrosse when he is already a legend. the guy is in my eyes the greatest attackman to play the game. not trying to attack you or anything just saying
mo coach said hes played with mikey and ryan when my couach was 40 and ryan was 25 and he said mikey was hella fast while on his team and ryan against my coach. my coach said ryan made him look sill and my coach is a really sick player.
@Fleurtje0 Het bestaat wel in Nederland. Het is nu nog een kleine sport, maar snel aan het groeien. Er zijn op dit moment alleen nog teams in grote (studenten)steden. Het idee is dat je met dat netje de bal overspeelt en scoort, en daarbij mag je flink gebodycheckt worden. Alleen Mike Powell is zo goed in ontwijken dat dat bij hem niet gebeurt:P
it depends on what you play, Attack players usually like box because their goodat dodging in a small space, but middies usually like field so they can beat guys with speed
Actually, for the people saying he left to play in his band, that's just not true. Him and his brothers were just too busy running camps to play in the MLL this year.
I am a high school teacher and lacrosse coach and would like to show this video on the closed circuit school channel to advertise for the lacrosse team. Is that okay with you?
@Fleurtje0 This is one of the granddaddys of sports. Believed to be the first sport in North America. Possibly the funniest sport of all time. I sir am from the best town in the world for lacrosse. (:
@ClashmoreMike The goalie is supposed to make the last slide, when a defender is beat. At worst, he ought to take the shooter down or atleat get in a good bodycheck, even if the shooter scores. On several of these in-close goals, it is better for the goalie to come out stick-on-stick and smash the ball carrier.
Mikey Powell isn't all righty he has a lefty goal in there...but its easy making someone trip over the cage from behind...you just have to be small and quick with great direction change...i've done it once or twice...he just makes it look better because hes Mikey Powell...
notice how i said rabil was amazing, douche he played offensive middie, and was on the field about every time they had the ball on offense that being said, mike's got about as many goals as rabil has total points, he was a machine
that's because if defensemen in the MLL waste time hacking at your shoulders, they'll get scored on pads are a lot more necessary when you play against defensemen that try to be good but aren't, and end up hittin you across a bone
@F1yghT na i wouldnt get those....if i were you id get a carolina blue clutch x and put some soft mesh or micro mesh in it.....5 diamond doesnt work welll with the clutch....and put 3 straight strings at the top....not 2 and a u or a v the 3 straight strings work the BEST
Best Attackman Ever
Make another Highlight. There are so many more amazing plays in his college career ! The people need it.

He's a cool dude, I met him in a guitar center once. He sat and talked to me (I was like 17) and was real down to earth.

That behind the back from basically gle was unreal. I’ll never get over that shot
this is such an amazing sport...
best of all time enough said
This guys jukes are straight up SICK!!!
Best Player to ever play the game no doubt!
One of the best lactose vids I've ever seen!
Happy Mikey Powell Day, everyone! Legend.
His reflexes are so quick. He also reads the position of the defensive players so well. I've never seen someone this quick before. The defense must feel like fools when he pulls moves like that.
So unbelievably ahead of his time. A lot of this stuff is just now becoming normal in the game today.
He is amazing!
He changes direction so fast! It's crazy! I don't think I've seen anyone in any sport change direction that fast.

Actually, for the people saying he left to play in his band, that's just not true. Him and his brothers were just too busy running camps to play in the MLL this year.
i'm pretty sure powell would own you
PLEASE post a vid of that if you've got it

Speaking as a guy who doesn't know anything about this sport, this guy looks way better than Paul Rabil. Way more interesting to watch.

At that point he was just there to have fun and mess around. When you are that good i mean you really are just there to have fun
@GhostOfAStranger1 very tru
Filmed through the finest cellophane from the bottom of a well with tin cans. Was this filmed from a camera on the moon?

Nasty dude

the fucking man
what if all three of the powell brothers were all triplits?!?! oh my god syracuse would have been unstopable
I think it was more just catching a bouncer
He's gonna be playin alongside Rabil now
notice how i said rabil was amazing, douche
he played offensive middie, and was on the field about every time they had the ball on offense
that being said, mike's got about as many goals as rabil has total points, he was a machine

pads are a lot more necessary when you play against defensemen that try to be good but aren't, and end up hittin you across a bone
@laxxhappy
He totally is, he never shares his balm, even if my lips are super chapped, forget about it.
@F1yghT na i wouldnt get those....if i were you id get a carolina blue clutch x and put some soft mesh or micro mesh in it.....5 diamond doesnt work welll with the clutch....and put 3 straight strings at the top....not 2 and a u or a v the 3 straight strings work the BEST
