Earl the Pearl Monroe would have loved to clock half the endorsement time that the athletes of today make millions on! What time period ushered in the use of basketball players to revolutionize this modern way of making stars and money? I have trouble remembering the first to break ground in this arena? It might have been Julius Erving?
thats not mike stepping on anything. thats his hang time, for real. by the air jordan 2 86-87 he was the highest leading scorer in the nba averging 37ppg. that year he was wowwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i went to school in queens nyc with rapper NAS. he bought them back in 86 an di wanted them but my mom didnt want to drop 100 bucks plus tax for them, nas hated them cuz they looked like space boots, so i asked if i can trade him my brand new nike cotrez for his air jordan 2. he was like cool i had my air jordan 2, still have that pair till this day, size 8.5
Why do people think he needs invisible steps to do this? That they actually used steps for him to do it? Your idiots if you think so. He used to do that same dunk in games. Hes AIR Jordan
the retro version of the 2 black/white/red OG colors (the ones hes wearing) are coming out the 22nd u know i gotta cop those i just got some retro 6s pistons i dont care what anyone say those things are fresh and i just got a new pair of reebok twilight zone pumps in the grey/blue/white colors its a good year for retros i just wish i coulda gotten those space jams
Taking away completely that it's Michael Jordan n just another dunker. he just "looks" the best. 10X more difficult dunks have been done but they just don't have that illusion and especially the grace as MJ. It's strange. Just look at how bad DR J FTL dunk looked compared to MJ's 1987 FTL dunk. Even the dunkers from TFB are incredible but still lack something. Check out Golden Child(highest jumper IMO), TDUB, GUY DUPUY n Cloud 9 for some of best dunkers today(non NBA players BTW).
There was a version of this commercial that contained "beat boxing" instead of the music and voice over. I remember seeing that commercial air as well. I'm happy to announce that I finally got a pair of AJ II's last month. However, they're white/red sz 14 from the Colliezone pack. I love them! Have waited 23 long years to finally get my favorite pair of kicks.
@theelectricman white/red/black u mean from this commercial? or u mean the white/red ones? those are sick too but the ones in this commercial im gettin in a few days they releasing them on the 22nd so in like 3 days well 2 cuz its already like 10 oclock man im so excited to buy the 2s
nice video! MJ's the greatest! it took several clips to make it, im sure. at the end, MJ almost did a Sprite commercial instead by getting caught on the rim. look again!
my favorite of all the air jordan shoe ads. brings back vivid memories of 1987. this ad was not edited or effects added. the "air walking" scene was really jordan air walking during a dunk. the dunk was shot many times to get just the right feel. i had a very clean copy of this commercial and it is authentic. this poor quality version does make the air walking sequence appear more mechanical and staged.
Jordan did that same dunk in the Dunk contest and it looked the same, when he shifts his body it looks like hes walkin on air, its just style man, he made that dunk his own, did it better than Dr. J himself.

@westy44cal You are exactly right. MJ had a grace, a looseness, a fluidity, a mastery over his body that I have not seen anyone be able to replicate.
