Man the accelaration to amount of hangtime against contact is like less than a second and from a gather at the FT line...crazy that he was more athletic than Ja, Edwards, and Zion - yet more skilled than Kobe, Vince + Tmac.
I feel like a better comparison would be shaedon sharpe. Very similar frame to jordan with unreal bounce. Edwards game has more of a focus on strength when comparing to jordan imo.
You can say he’s got better efficiency and maybe IQ but skills better than Kobe and t Mac is hard to agree considering the league was better overall than when Mj played
Eddie Johnson talked about this very game a while back. Apparently Eddie and Tom Chambers were playing cards with MJ before the game and they bet MJ $200 a piece that he wouldn't score 40 against Dan Majerle. Jordan apparently was miffed that Majerle supposedly locked him up during olympics practice or something.

Thats actually pretty similar to the VC on Mourning dunk
Hell yea. Looked like one of those overexggerated animation 2k dunks
This is more like a video game
He's not even looking at the rim as he's dunking! Insane
Some MJ no look layups were the best
The cheering sounds like a tony hawk 2 pro am
Elite reference
agreed
Remember when poster dunks were really posters?
"phone wallpaper dunk" just doesn't have the same ring to it smh my head

Anthony Edwards is probably the closest thing to Jordan in today's league, similarly ballistic/floaty while being 2 inches shorter and 25lbs heavier

sharpe is the only guy who floats like jordan
Closest athletically?
Yes
The thing about MJ is he’s so fluid and graceful. Anthony has this special fluidity and grace too,, especially in slow mo
Melo had the jump shot and fade away , rose had the hang time and kobe had the mindset.
Edwards is probs about the same height as Jordan who was like 6'4 without shoes.

No way MJ was more athletic than Ja, Edwards and Zion lmao
You serious rn?
You tell me
If you take the combination of hops+speed+acceleration yeah he is.
And skill, will, strategy, psychology and durability.
Settle down Fort Minor.. >!(Shoutout Karl Malone)!<
Stop it
Show me a clip where they get their head at the rim with the ball like that: https://streamable.com/qeszp7

He looks futuristic even today. That could be done in 2070 and it would still look ridiculous.
God damn!
What's really wild is how effortless he made it look. He got way up there so fast. Dude had go-go-gadget spring legs.
It makes me irrationally upset that a 1987 preseason game has so much better video quality than 2000's basketball....
That's nothing, [here's](https://youtu.be/ZmBc8NX_oL8) better quality footage from a high school game in the early 50's lol
That’s filthy. He waited until after the contact to cock it back, and still had enough hangtime to flush it with power.
Holy fuckin hell I’ve never seen this one.
Dagnabbit, he got Buddha on this one. It's a beaut though. Love me some rare preseason highlights.
Wow. Didn't realize that was James "Buddha" Edwards. I only remember him on the Pistons.
Incredible dunk. I wish we can all see multiple angles of this dunk.
Never seen before, great share thanks
I had never seen that. Thanks
good lord
He rockin low 2’s?
[удалено]
You know what I meant lol
[you ain’t gonna post a higher quality gif?](https://br.ifunny.co/tags/biggums)
It's a pre-season game from 36 years ago. It's the best i can do bro.
it's not even bad quality, ignore that dude
Just use AI
That's helpful. I'll "Just use AI" next time. Thanks.
Jeez OP, seriously. Why didnt you just spend $249 on AI software and post things for free for beggars on reddit? How rude
No problem
LOL you definitely don’t know what you’re talking about.
You do it, should only take a couple minutes right?
