My favorite MJ dunk. Take off point was sick enough....but then he rocked the cradle backwards....and if that wasnt enough, he flushed it with 2 hands. Leaves you speechless almost.
Everything about the way Jordan played was visually pleasing. Look at the way he dunked, the form and posture, just flawless, no other player before or after look that beautiful dunking, same with his fadeaway, just a thing of pure beauty.
Agreed the best basketball player... and one of the best athlete that ever lived this earth... The basketball industry has really lost its hoommff since the departure of MJ... Hope someone else comes along with the same love of the game as MJ, for this is the greatest game ever played.
That's the best rock a cradle dunk he did. Look how far he took off while "rocking the cradle", and slams it 2-handed. Even the way he contoured his body is just beautiful.
This is my favorite in-game cradle dunk MJ ever did because, like many of his dunks, the distance he takes off from so casually is just flat out awesome. He makes it look so easy, but taking off from over 10' away, waving the ball around a couple times on the way there, and still finishing with a strong dunk is anything but easy. Lots of people could/can jump high during/past/post Jordan era. What impressed me most about MJ is the distance he covered horizontally on in game dunks.
LOOK AT THE SPEED....THE HANG TIME...THE AIR MOVE...THE STYLE... THE TAKE OFF POINT...THE LANDING...THE DUNKING ! AND LOOK AT THE SCORE BULLS 100 - BUCKS 102 , (1:20 till the end of the game), Most players wouldn't have the energy and stamina to pull something like a good spectacular dunk..not to mention one of the best in games dunk! AND MJ RUN TO GET THE LOOSE BALL , WHICH SHOWS HIS DEFENSE SKILL AND AWARENESS ! ONE OF A KIND ATHLETE - THE BEST E V E R !
Lebron > jordan, jordan never played against the competition that lebron played against.. come on with your bs that there will never be another like mj… mj is overrated..
@@ncabcabinYour comment is overrated and idiotic as hell! Saying Jordan never faced the competition LBJ has? LeBron is the "king" in the softest NBA era nowadays! Go watch some cartoons bro.
Bob Costas once said If you didnt know anything about basketball and he walked into the room, you would say thats somebody, its got to be somebody. Truly the Goat.
if MJ was still young and in his prime today he would have no problem beating anybody on the court. Not to say that players like Kobe or Lebron arenot good...they are, its just MJ has mad skills on the court which no one can stop.
If you like dunk videos, then you'll love this. One of my favorite MJ dunks ever. I only saw this in that "Come Fly With Me" video. I'll never forget how far he took off effortless and dunked it with TWO hands. Simply spectacular.
The Bulls were down by 2 at that point with about a minute to go... And Michael Jordan performs one of the most difficult dunks I have ever seen. That is why Mike is Mike.
The hell you talkin about "The defense in Jordan's era was pathetic.." Guess you never saw a Pistons Bulls game in that era. That's as brutal as it gets son. Kobe dropping 81 points worth of jump shots on a defense half asleep. Get the f outta here. Jordan EARNED 69 against Cleveland in the playoffs. No half ass defense. And then going hard with the Pistons the most brutal team in the league. The hell you talkin about. Sit down son, Jordan vs. Kobe? Jordan ALL DAY. Sit your ass down.
Kenny Smith said it best; "Carter is a combination of Dominique and Michael." Michael at 2nd Neeq at 3rd and Kobe at 4th Kemp at 5 cause Kobe was great in the contest and games! Anyways, i love Carter as a dunker but as an overall player he's been weak when times get tough for some reason, even tho Iverson said, people criticize him for lack of heart, i played with Carter and he has the most heart i've ever seen in a player. That said Kobe is my fav player of all time.
This is why Mike is the best EVER!!! You don't see this anymore. Not from Kobe, not from Lebron, not from ANYONE!!! This dunk would score like a 45 in a DUNK CONTEST, let alone a game. MJ's the king.
@Mr360windmill True but also remember that the Mavs was a run and gun shoot team in those days. Much like Phoenix who mainly beat you by out scoring you. Their defensive scheme was none to nil. They just put up points. Which was both teams ultimate demise when they faced opposition who could play defense. This is why Dallas couldn't go on to win a title. They finally started playing a little defense, but is still that run and gun team even today.
i'd love to see this dunk in the NBA again, nobody does this anymore. Javale Macgee did this once in the preseason but he's too tall i'd like to see guards do this
Considering Jordan starts his gather here from behind the free throw line...that is some mad sick airtime...When you see Lebron or Dwight Howard do this, they start their gather from practically under the rim. Doesn't even compare to this.
@nevermoonawolf I don't ever recall seeing Jordan do a 360 dunk in a college or NBA game, but I've seen videos of him doing them in warmups and playing in exhibition type games, and it looked absolutely effortless for him.
what is wrong with you people? can we please just discuss the beauty of this dunk? probably the best open court dunk of all time. please, someone, show me one better.
This dude played 13 full seasons. Two seasons were short, injury and comeback from first retirement. Still, what he achieved in that time is simply amazing. He was cheated out of two or three MVPs.
@Len1977gt The Jordan line wasn't started yet. Nike got him to wear their shoes. Then after that came the Air Jordans. I'd say like half way through the 84-85 season. I may be wrong. But its what I remember when I watched him then.
ANY BRAND THAT MAN NAMED MICHAEL JORDAN WOULD STILL BE AS YOU SEE IT NOW CAUSE ITS NOT ABOUT THE SHOES ITS ABOUT THE UNIQUE BEAUTY IN THE PLAYER THEE ALMOST SUPERMAN OF THE GAME AND THROUGH THE TRUE LOVE AND GRACED WITH LARGER THAN NORMAL HANDS FOR A 6'6 MAN N EXTRAORDINARY SPEED AND UNNATURAL JUMPING ABILITY UNCANNY HANG TIME AND CREATIVITY IN MID AIR MIXED WITH A DIAMOND WILL AND A TRUE DEDICATION TO THE GAME MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY YOU GET A MIND AND BODY ZEN BEAST MJ!!! HES THE STANDARD! UNTIL YOU SEE THIS VISUAL PLAYER MOVE UNIQUELY WITH FLOW N DOMINANCE AND DAZZLE LIKE THIS WAY TAKE IT FROM ME SEEING IT AND DOING IT IS TWO DIFFERENT VIEWS SO ITS STILL MJ!! LOOK! WHOS THE ONE PLAYER THEY FEAR NOW IN THE NBA WHO HAS IT BEEN IN THE LAST FEW DECADES??!🤷🏼♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏻🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♀️ WHOS STILL THE ONE THE WORLD COMPARES?! SEE ALL THE AMAZING PLAYERS NOW AND ITS OUT OF THIS PLANET BUT IN THAT YOU SEE YA ITS FANTASTIC BUT NO ONE ATHLETICALLY VISUALLY PLAYS TO THE POINT PEOPLE AND PLAYERS FEAR HIM CAUSE HES A FREAK AND CAN BEAT YOU N POSSIBLY DO SOMETHING LIKE WHAT U SEEN FROM MJ DUNKING WITH UNIQUE GRACE FROM 1984 ITS 2024 AND BEAT THEM AND PUT THEM AND THEIR TEAMMATES ON A GLOBAL TIMELESS HIGHLIGHT REEL WHILE SCORING 42-54 PTS IN STYLE AND ENTERTAINING DOMINANCE. FACTS MY FRIEND! THIS IS THE OBVIOUS FACT AND HE WILL BE UNDENIABLE THATS ALL. ANOTHER VERSION OF A MJ BUT HIMSELF WHATEVER THE NAME N THOSE WHO WERE GIFTED IN MJ'S FLOW THE BEST THE WORLD DIDNT SEE! REAL RECOGNIZE REAL THOUGH! MJ!!! HIS ROYAL AIRNESS!!! THE WORLD STILL DOESNT SEE NOTHING LIKE.
@Young0906 Nobodoy does it like Jordan, but one of my new favorites is Shannon Brown of the Lakers. He had some awesome dunks this past season. Type in Brown's righty/lefty slam dunk. That was probably my favorite dunk of the season until Taj Gibson threw down against Miami in game 1 of the playoffs.
@santino2k6 correction Jordan didn't have Rodman, with Pippen and Kerr for the first three Rodman came later, whatever the case he didn't have what Kobe had

Agreed! Unfortunately I doubt we will ever see someone impact the games popularity like MJ did
Jordan could actually fly. Like he flew to the basket. He fucking flew to the fucking basket. GOAT.
Just when I'm starting to believe Kobe was close, I see shit like these...Sorry Kobe, you are a distant, and I mean a DISTANT second to MJ....
That's the best rock a cradle dunk he did. Look how far he took off while "rocking the cradle", and slams it 2-handed. Even the way he contoured his body is just beautiful.
Facts
This is the best dunk ever
TROLL. In terms of creativity.
Agreed

He traveled...in the air.
LOOK AT THE SPEED....THE HANG TIME...THE AIR MOVE...THE STYLE...
THE TAKE OFF POINT...THE LANDING...THE DUNKING !
AND LOOK AT THE SCORE BULLS 100 - BUCKS 102 , (1:20 till the end of the game),
Most players wouldn't have the energy and stamina to pull something like a good spectacular dunk..not to mention one of the best in games dunk!
AND MJ RUN TO GET THE LOOSE BALL , WHICH SHOWS HIS DEFENSE SKILL
AND AWARENESS !
ONE OF A KIND ATHLETE - THE BEST E V E R !
He almost did that from the free throw line...
Like a foot away from the line
Best ever, amazing in game dunk
@@enok0814 yes should be number 1 break away dunk of all time
Never ever will there ever be another like this man..
Lebron > jordan, jordan never played against the competition that lebron played against.. come on with your bs that there will never be another like mj… mj is overrated..
@@ncabcabinYour comment is overrated and idiotic as hell! Saying Jordan never faced the competition LBJ has? LeBron is the "king" in the softest NBA era nowadays! Go watch some cartoons bro.
The distance at wich he took off is insane, and he dunked it with 2 hands!. This is my favorite cradle dunk ever.
This dunk is amazing. Even better in slow motion.
This was done in his third game as a rookie.....simply spectacular.
Jordan was the Bruce Lee of basket ball & Bruce was the Jordan of martial arts.
Bob Costas once said If you didnt know anything about basketball and he walked into the room, you would say thats somebody, its got to be somebody. Truly the Goat.
This is almost unreal especially watching the replay in slow mo, simply amazing.
Ain't nobody like Jordan .Not Magic,not LeBron,Not kobe ..There's only one G.O.A.T !!!
art work in the air
We had no idea how lucky we were at the time. I haven't seen an in game open court dunk in the last twenty yrs that could come close to this
"Your honor, this man broke the law!"
"And which law is that, counselor?"
"The law of gravity!"
This dude really did that dunk down 2 with a min left in the 4th qtr...
if MJ was still young and in his prime today he would have no problem beating anybody on the court. Not to say that players like Kobe or Lebron arenot good...they are, its just MJ has mad skills on the court which no one can stop.
my favorite in game dunk by MJ
If you like dunk videos, then you'll love this.
One of my favorite MJ dunks ever. I only saw this in that "Come Fly With Me" video. I'll never forget how far he took off effortless and dunked it with TWO hands. Simply spectacular.
my god! it s beautiful
I like how jordan did different dunks on fastbreaks unlike lebum james
"That is a foul! No two fouls! People just can't go flying through the air like that Jackie!"
So glad you posted this! One of my fav all time MJ dunks.
The Bulls were down by 2 at that point with about a minute to go... And Michael Jordan performs one of the most difficult dunks I have ever seen. That is why Mike is Mike.
And he did it off one foot!
This was jordans second game in the nba i believe. One of his best dunks by far. Just absolutly skying!
The hell you talkin about "The defense in Jordan's era was pathetic.." Guess you never saw a Pistons Bulls game in that era. That's as brutal as it gets son. Kobe dropping 81 points worth of jump shots on a defense half asleep. Get the f outta here. Jordan EARNED 69 against Cleveland in the playoffs. No half ass defense. And then going hard with the Pistons the most brutal team in the league. The hell you talkin about. Sit down son, Jordan vs. Kobe? Jordan ALL DAY. Sit your ass down.
remember he did this in 4th while being down by 2 legend

That said Kobe is my fav player of all time.
I love the "Showtime for Mr. Jordan" call so much
The best guy ever played the game
leg power and body control
That defines this cradle dunk
Damn! Perfect athlete performs the perfect dunk!
i stopped watching basket ball when MJ retired......
I think most underrated but possibly top 5 dunks of all time.. that was seriously sick
possibly the greatest open court dunk of all time.
Definitely
This is why Mike is the best EVER!!! You don't see this anymore. Not from Kobe, not from Lebron, not from ANYONE!!! This dunk would score like a 45 in a DUNK CONTEST, let alone a game. MJ's the king.
Not to mention he did this near the end of the game to tie it up. GOAT and it was never even close ever.
This is why Jordan is the best. No one can do it the way he did it. Jordan won and looked good doing it.
Ive paused and stop paused and stopped and the man.... Is still in the air!
probably his sickest in game dunk in his career.... and we all know he had many. wow. very impressive mr. jordan.
Sickest in game dunk in basketball history
Im just gonna say this... that was really impressive from MJ. DANG!! He was really far from the basket!
Who's here in 2020? I remember watching this with my dad. Just a few years before he passed away
beautiful
Amazing how mich power he mustve had in his legs to jump that high mj is king
LOOK WHERE THIS MAN TOOK OFF FROM. HE REALLY COULD FLY
announcer paused when describing the replay...struck by greatness
the way MJ jumps is quite different from kobe or lebron. he floats in the air.
Along with athletic ability, it's his style and flare that separates himself from everyone else.
Michael Jordan was ONE of the greatest dunkers
D a m n Bro was almost at the free throw line too 👀🔥
wow, this is impressive even by today's standards
...that dunk is just beautiful.
Dang. Look where he took off from. They should give this player a nickname like "air" Jordan or something.
sick, hilarious, ridicolous, the power, the grace, the beautiful of his moves, the fly sensation, his showed tongue... its nasty, its so fucking EPIC
my favorite jordan dunk.
One of the best dunkers ever
Just lovely. Inspirational, really.
~Michael forever
ya it was unreal... This was his second game ever as well.
@Mr360windmill True but also remember that the Mavs was a run and gun shoot team in those days. Much like Phoenix who mainly beat you by out scoring you. Their defensive scheme was none to nil. They just put up points. Which was both teams ultimate demise when they faced opposition who could play defense. This is why Dallas couldn't go on to win a title. They finally started playing a little defense, but is still that run and gun team even today.
Unfortunately not see more moves like this in the NBA today ...
Has to be the Greatest In-Game Dunk EVER
i'd love to see this dunk in the NBA again, nobody does this anymore. Javale Macgee did this once in the preseason but he's too tall i'd like to see guards do this
One of the nicest in game dunks ever and by nicest i don't mean most difficult.
I can't belive he did that shit in game, that would win most dunk contests
Considering Jordan starts his gather here from behind the free throw line...that is some mad sick airtime...When you see Lebron or Dwight Howard do this, they start their gather from practically under the rim. Doesn't even compare to this.
Beautiful.
Thank god for archives...tape don't lie and video don't lie lol. Jordan is G.O.A.T
no one else floats like that when they dunk. Carter has some vicious dunks but jordans were smooth
@nevermoonawolf I don't ever recall seeing Jordan do a 360 dunk in a college or NBA game, but I've seen videos of him doing them in warmups and playing in exhibition type games, and it looked absolutely effortless for him.
Look how far he jumped from the paint, wow.
nice, he just glides in the air, makes his move then dunks, amazing
From this part with two hands?!!!! Impossible!!!!
VC is the best dunker of all time! HANDS DOWN! :)
but on the rare occasion the Bulls were caught out of position on D & Jordan was up against a 7' in the post, he always seemed to hold his own;-)
what is wrong with you people? can we please just discuss the beauty of this dunk? probably the best open court dunk of all time. please, someone, show me one better.
There isn't one better. It has never been repeated.
Holy fuck he was flying!! That's AIR JORDAN RIGHT THERE!
And don't ever compare Jordan to James . Never make that mistake .
This dude played 13 full seasons. Two seasons were short, injury and comeback from first retirement. Still, what he achieved in that time is simply amazing. He was cheated out of two or three MVPs.
it's amazing how far he took off from to do a dunk that difficult!!
those throwback chicago uniforms are a smoove moove.

@poethepoetspoet no, handcheching is been taken out of since 2004-2005 season, BEFORE kobe scores 81 against hohum raptors
Dr j ????? None of his boring dunks compares to this type of artistry,perfect pose,skill OmL.... Closest dunker is Vince carter
@Young0906 Nobodoy does it like Jordan, but one of my new favorites is Shannon Brown of the Lakers. He had some awesome dunks this past season. Type in Brown's righty/lefty slam dunk. That was probably my favorite dunk of the season until Taj Gibson threw down against Miami in game 1 of the playoffs.
hoooooaa! showtime for Mr.Jordan!
@GldVWisRR
thanks, yea there are a few games here and there where he isn't wearing his jordans. he is just wearing plain Nikes.
That is what you call actually flying...wow!
there is one thing though ive always wondered why jordan never did a 360 dunk
@santino2k6 correction Jordan didn't have Rodman, with Pippen and Kerr for the first three Rodman came later, whatever the case he didn't have what Kobe had
my favourite dunk
Look at the moment in the game (100-102). You don't see players nowadays trying dunks like that at those moments.
HIS AIRNESS!!
@Len1977gt
I believe they are Nike. They were almost identical to the Air Jordan 1. Just without the red and black. They weren't Jordans yet.
