Obviously we will never see another Michael but I think next best thing is Kobe. I mean the guy talks like him, chews his gum like him, walks like him, does that patented MJ fadeaway. Not to mention they have the same type of body, 6'6 200lbs. I dont know but when I see Kobe i instantly remember MJ.
MJs dunks on technicality were good. What made them 'great' was the "poetry" in his torso and leg movements that made them seam unworldly, hence 'unreal'. There was grace and 'fluidity' in his movement. And this was translated in his whole game. The only player that comes close to MJ's style in the current NBA is Derrick Rose. I welcome any debate on this topic. T23
4:52 Most beautiful dunk in NBA history. can't get enough of seeing that. I can't tell you how many times I re-wound this sequence over and over on my VHS tape.
I have search for like 10 years for the title of the track starting at 0:14 (the uptempo instrumental). There's a couple songs listed in the end credits of this video, but not that one.
People can mention Kobe in the same article as Jordan. But never ever in the same sentence as Jordan... People seem to forget that Kobe only has 2 NBA championships. The first 3 were Shaq's. And if MJ did not retire in his PRIME, 8 rings in a row, and thats when the NBA was at its highest... People can also talk about the past NBA championships the Celtics and Lakers. but back then, thats all the NBA had was the Celtics and the Lakers. If u disagree with me here, you are in denial.
If Kobe beats the Miami triple crown next year, successfully winning his sixth NBA championship, then I'd have to say that he would be neck and neck with Jordan's legacy. But even if Kobe were to win next year, and break all of Jordan's records thereafter, he would still lose out in one category, SWAG.
@aboverim He wont break all of Jordan's records he cant get 4 more mvp's with players like wade, Lebron, Durant, etc. in the league. He wont get a defensive player of the year award I can go on but the list is too long
when everytime michael jordan played it's sold out ticket either home court or away people want to see michael jordan playing and even playing on opponent home court people cheers him and you can see how great he is on or off the court.
GOSH @ 3:29....he really great in defense 2 and hv powerfull hand..no wonder anime SLAMDUNK resemble lot scenes like him.....dis man got some AIR MOTION!!! hes real art..
I simply cannot find anywhere what is the name of the song starting at 4:25, it is truely amazing and I would love to find it somewhere, if anyone knows any kind of information about it, please share it, please! :)
The dunks 4:55-5:03 and 5:32-5:36 of the vid were just breath taking .. especially in slow motion and with the beautiful music playing...makes you almost believe a man can fly...i remember watching this part of the video over and over again as a mid teen
in 98 he was not nearly as good as a defender on the ball, but was a better team defense player. Offensively, he had so much more to offer in 98 than in 88, so i'd see he was at his best all-around in 98.
You're out of your mind if you think Michael Jordan was at his best in 1998. In the early 90's Jordan was absolutely perfect as a basketball player. His defense was incredible, his body was perfect and his offense was beyond words. His post up game was great, his mid range was great, he was incredible at getting to the basket, and when he wanted to shoot long range, that was great as well.
nah man, that aint the way. u gotta tell urself ur gonna be even better. thats whut i do. i dont intend on being the next jordan, i intend on being the nex ME. thats how michael did it, he wasn't trying to be the next dr j, he wuz trying to be even better, and he succeeded.
Yeah man - and if you don't make it, then you still lived a hell of a life with a dream that kept you floating above the shit that drags so many others down. Only got one life.
Let Me Make this Clear to You Idiots Im Not Disrespecting MJ in Any Kinda of Way I'd be a Dumbass to Disrespect a Man Who Breathe Life into The Game of Basketball.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
People Call Kobe Bryant Arrogant But for that MJ was the Same way Listen to :30 when Jordan Says He Controls Players Like Puppets which was the Truth its not Arrogance if Its True!!
how could derrick rose remind u of him thats 1 of the stupid things i eva hear
jordan 6'6 rose wateva, mj dark, rose light, mj has a shot rose no shot so u jus sayin that cause he was the first pick..(FYI i no mj was not the first pick)
I am in no way a communist, but that is not what Communism is. Michael Jordan in the initial part of the film is just eluding to the classlessness in society, and that is only a small scope of the social philosophy. In communism, everyone owns, or shares all property. No one can consider themself a high social class than anyone else because there is no difference in social status. Michael Jordan didn't exactly mean that.
Instead, he just wished the fame and glory he has from being a basketball player could be attained by normal people, but it'll never happen. Michael Jordan's claim was based more so upon fame opposed to social classes.
kno he not when he jumped from the free throw line is the jordan symbol...this 1 is his leg spread apart...the free throw line was spread with 1 leg in front of the other
Your Right It would Be no Kobe if It Wasnt for Mike but their Would Be No Mike If It wasnt for Dr.J Its always someone that comes before you that gives you a Vision theirs not Much New Under the Sun.
Blah Blah Blah Shut the Fuck up with your Wishful Predictions 1st TMac has to Make it out the 1st Round for Once in His LIFE! to even have a Chance at going Against the Lakers and The Rockets Whole Season Depends on The HeadCase Artest You Should Pray that Hes Able to Keep It 2gether if not they'll be out in the 1st Round just like every other year!
