Michael Jordan posterizing Orlando Woolridge 1990

[lightaspliff420]

jordan missed the freethrow?!

[TheMandarklaughs]

I BELIEVE I CAN FLY WHOW

[YorkMillz]

0:18 lmao Orlando Woolridge is like "damn that nigga got me"

[uberathlete]

lolz if that were any of today's stars they would be shouting and doing gang signs and all that other crap after that poster.

[HooliganMovement]

MJ: "That's for going 9/27 against the Celtics in '86!"

Woolridge: "Shit, thought you'd forgot."

[MTXSHO9732vV8SHO]

Woolridge is laughing because he was playing off instinct. It wasn't until he left the ground that he realized "Oh, that's Michael Jordan. That was dumb as hell for me to jump. Now I look stupid! ha ha!"

Woolridge and Jordan were teammates in Chicago. He had 27 in that double overtime game against the Celtics when Jordan had 63 points.

Peace

[thunderstruck103085]

lol at 0:21 woolridge smiles after the poster dunk lol. he thinks it feels good haha

[trdt1]

Lots of bad blood between MJ and Woolridge back in the day. MJ was very jealouse of Wooldridge and Enis Whatley in the day, had them both traded and brought in his own step-n-fetch its, ie Pippen, Grant & Paxson.

[Domini478]

@trdt1 Haul ass, MJ wasn't jealous over nobody! MJ was the star for the bulls since day 1 dumbass! He has the highest scoring avg in NBA History!

[SDSOverfiend]

@trdt1 Won 3 titles in a row with 2/3's of the players mention. i guess he know better.

[megatroll]

Look at him smiling after he got dunked on!

Great sportsmanship!

I remember Shawn Kemp dunking on players, he helped them back up and they handchecked each other. Those were the times. Nowadays you only get to see ego driven media whores posing for the camera and trying to outplay each other with more spectacular stunts.

Today's NBA is sad in many aspects.

[tyrekethefreak]

I felt bad for woolridge. Could've won titles with MJ instead he gets dunked on by the greatest.

[emncaity]

I love Jordan, and it's a great dunk, but I swear if I could I'd start a campaign to stop calling dunks like these "posterizing." This one's closer than some, because Woolridge was in position, sort of, but...IMHO, a true posterizing happens only when the dunker beats a defender (usually his) in good position, not when a guy comes over and tries to draw a charge or go for a desperation block after the dunker has gotten past his own guy. Otherwise, practically _everything_ is posterizing.

[Domini478]

@emncaity STFU! he did posterize him!

[SDSOverfiend]

@emncaity Either your Woolridge behind that keyboard or you must be the biggest dickhead to ever watch basketball. He basically hammered O.W. ass back down to the floor and caught a And 1 on his bitch ass.

[emncaity]

@SDSOverfiend

Yeah, those are the only two choices, alright, you genius.

If you can't read, don't blame anybody but yourself. It's not the amount of force; it's not the fact of a foul; it's whether the guy was in position and played real defense. Is that simpler?

[wornoutshoes11]

@emncaity u have no idea what being posterized is all about. it is plain and simple... u get posterized when u get dunked on while trying to blocked the shot OR great moves that are captured suited for "poster's". it usually happens when playing "above the rim". this situation between MJ and wooldrige is the perfect example of such term.

[VinmanMJ23]

I'm surprised MJ didn't talk trash to Woolridge since they were teammates in Chicago.

[JLB12383]

too nice!!

[Emil308]

Just when I thought I saw every dunk MJ ever did...wow.

[imsljr420]

it's what he gets for not helping michael win a championship

[Enigmatic945]

The message of this video is not to Jump with Mj in his Prime,only player who I can think of today that you also shouldnt try to jump with and block his dunk is Lebron..

[mndubuisi2]

Even though they're good friends.. this is why they kept Jordan and traded Woolridge

[Vstrat0]

Woolwridge was grinning after he got smoked he was like THAT'S AWESOME

[ddeennpp]

what i wouldn't give to get posterized by MJ!

[uberathlete]

@ddeennpp I'd buy that poster if it happened.

[oneman91]

forget about the best SG ever, he was literally the strongest guard ever

[Domini478]

@oneman91 He was the best period...

[killerfocker]

i like how orlando smiles..

[spraynpray]

The best part of this video is when he misses his foul shot and his team doesn't get the rebound. MASSIVE FAIL. 8 foot tall guys can't make foul shots that 5 year olds can make.

[chitownref]

Oh and ur purfect right? Your a fucking douche bag, I've a hundred free throws in a row but I couldnt play with these guys. Your point and logic are a MASSIVE FAIL.

[spraynpray]

Not perfect, but when I was 10 I was better at foul shots than any NBA player. Because the game isn't playing, it's who can get away with more fouls. What is the longest amount of time between uncalled travels in the NBA? 4 seconds? What a fucking joke.

[acea1983]

lolllllllll

[kareemali]

i wish the league was wide open like this today, there was so much space to operate this damn zone cloggs everything thing up and forces jumpshots

[blackadam06]

"The committee instituted a 3-second rule for defenders in order to [prevent] teams from [parking taller players] in the [post]. The goal was to [free the lanes] & [encourage] cuts & drives through the paint. With those changes, among other factors, offenses have [opened up] & scoring has [climbed]."

-- NY Times, Feb 29, 2009

Guys today excessively chuck up jumpers because they have bad shot selection due to their LACK of formal training on the amateur levels, not because of these pseudo zones

[kareemali]

the reason they did it is true, but now that teams have adjusted to it it comes with its own difficulty, u must have never played against one thats why ur saying that . And plus u wanna somehow defend the one u worship.

[blackadam06]

"u must have never played against one"

I played against & have seen EVERY form of a zone, from a kid to my sophomore yr of college. As a kid, I regularly attended Sidney Moncrief's camps due to me knowing him PERSONALLY..he's from my old neighborhood..

"teams have adjusted to it"

I'd say...that's WHY teams (and players too) are scoring MORE vs them, than they were under the old ones LOL!!

[kareemali]

naw man not only did they score more in this era but they played a faster tempo, only the pistons and the knicks shrunk the court like that. I played in highschool college and in some semi pro leagues where they played under nba rules, with the handchecking and illegal defense, It was impossible to guard anyone because of the space, u could get to the basket sooooo much easier, but hey we are never going to see it the same way

[blackadam06]

So lemme get this straight..U think it's "easier" to score with a guy handchecking & placing a bent forearm on U, while aggressively bodying U as well, which keeps U from "consistently" gettin' off open & clean looks/shots?

LOL!!

"Our rules are [designed] to [allow] players to [penetrate] for [higher percentage] shots. This has [allowed] for [more] high quality [perimeter] shots as well, because of how much [easier] it is to penetrate today."

-- Stu Jackson. NBA V.P. of Basketball Operations

[kareemali]

i was more effective with the one on one physical play than i was with athletic guys crowding swarming and stacking the lane yes. U have to understand that in that run and gun era u can put alot of points on the board before the defense even got set. And for your info they still handcheck now even on the peremeter, they grab they hold its not much diff. Go to a game and sit close its more physical than u would believe,

[kareemali]

its always funny how people defend this era wit their lives cause mike jesus played then lol

[spitnificent]

I like how you back up your position and these young idiots struggle to back up their own. I'm with you, this is a pussy ass era of ball right now. I've seen the best brand of ball and it's not in this era. I see certain players that could've thrived back then, but that's less than a handful.

[blackadam06]

You'd think that these idiots would've figured out by now that if ALL of the evidence, facts & proof on the matter TOTALLY contradicts their "claims" & ALL they have are a bunch of "i think's/belive", while supporting them with a bunch of if's & coulda-shoulda-woulda's, that OBVIOUSLY, they're in the wrong LOL!!

Sadly with this generation though, the more U hit them with facts, the angrier they become & just "insist" they're right & ALL of the facts & those who present them, are wrong LOL!!

[jeffnfoxylady1]

whats crazy they were once teammates

[MFSilverOxide]

MJ probobly did this in his face during practice multiple times.

[Salva46]

In that game, MJ did another amazing move against Cooper in a fastbreak.

[BillionDollaBaby94]

dam i wish jordan would posterize me..shit ill put that on MY wall lol

[whookidspade]

That's the first time I've seen Jordan miss a freethrow lol.

[edo5555]

NO REGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE

[tumduncansdad]

lol michael is so powerfull haha

[mafoco82]

lol.. he just wanted to be on a poster.. he knew he had no shot to block that

[NaturalLife24]

that was amazing! it must have been weird for them because they were teammates just a couple of years ago and then jordan just embarasses him lol!

[Fathead2324]

4 real thts got 2 be weird! I bet MJ apoligized after the game tho. lol

[jaboo82681]

lol even Woolridge even had to laugh at that one

[uguyssuckass]

Thats what Woolridge gets for shooting 9-27 and airballing the last shot in the Bulls Celtics playoff game where Jordan scored 63.

His Airness never forgets!

[Amir883]

I was watching that the other day and wondering why they even had him in the game lol. Woolridge also had about 4 turnovers that were pretty bad.

[PinpjJ10205]

@uguyssuckass and the crazy thing is that Woolridge was averaging 20.7 ppg... smh

[Bigturns33]

JOrdan migh have scored 70 that game if it wasnt for woolridge that freaking no good ball hog.

[MrPlantcity813]

@uguyssuckass that sound like something kobe would do lol

[dimedropper1992]

lol they were once team mates!!!

[nystagmus]

yup

[MJisKingKobesuckss]

Sickkkk

[pcorf]

Feb 7 1990, Lakers 121, Bulls 103. Magic had 22pts and 17 assists. Jordan scored 32. Bulls lost 3rd game in a row in a 1-5 road trip. Lakers would win 63 games and get knocked out of the playoffs early. Bulls would reach game 7 of Eastern Finals and win the title the following season.

[Burgz15]

vintage triangle offense

[dimedropper1992]

Being on a poster with michael Jordan is an honor

[Hayk1991]

haha 33 points only missed 4 free

[pentiumboard]

Smile Woolrifge...smile

[jimdip21]

just awesome move and furious finish.

[PakiZMan]

orlando smiled like he wantedd to be on a poster lol

[neeks6]

Never seen this one. Woolridge is like "Damn, why did I even try"

[SPMJ]

Thanks. I have this game and have been wanting to upload this dunk from the normal angle for a while. I've no clue why MJ's highlight videos feature this dunk from the different angle. It does no justice to how badly he posterizes Orlando.

[DANK4DAYS]

who cares

[mikea7104]

Lol...Treated his ass

[realitycheck2088]

I and a lot other care MOFO shit fag.

[mnkhan2020]

another jealous kobe cock sucker.

[DANK4DAYS]

jordan over kobe anyday..but lebron over kobe

[jordanlover23]

I've been waiting to see this dunk from the normal game angle FOREVER. Thanks so much for the upload!

[Jordanhair]

youtube(dot)com/watch?v=LTMu5J­M50hE

Another angle at 0:52.

[RR0849]

I've waited to see this from several angles. Thanks for the upload! One of my favorite "poster" dunks ever and Woolridge smiling about it shows what a great sport he was.

[ervakova]

Hehehe I had an idea that you might pop by and comment on this one since you don`t have this particular angle on your mixes....

By the way I gotta praise your affords there..

Really nice stuff

[RR0849]

Thanks! Well you could tell I like the dunk cause I started my poster dunk mix with it. :) I'm still going to do 2-3 more mixes.

[ervakova]

I gotta agree with you there,it`s one of his best " in your face dunks "

Regarding your upcoming mixes I`m working on something similar myself with lotta rare footage and some dunks I have yet to see on Youtube....too bad I can`t share em with you at the moment..

Your mixes are pretty cool

Keep up the good work !!!!!

[RR0849]

Looking forward to those! I still have some dunks I've not posted but I've tried to include a lot of them to each mix so far.
