This guy was a god when I used to play lacrosse. This is so nostalgic. He signed my high school lacrosse jacket at lacrosse unlimited. I watched this video 5000 times.
Mikey was a fucking beast at lacrosse i have never seen any other pro players with the kinda swag he carried, the moves he had on the defense breakin their ankles half the time and then all the tricks he had up his sleeves with all the behind the back, and jumping across the crease behind the goal and scoring who does that???
His reflexes are so quick. He also reads the position of the defensive players so well. I've never seen someone this quick before. The defense must feel like fools when he pulls moves like that.
You have to respect the guy for living his own life. College lacrosse was and will be for a while the premier form of lacrosse. Comparing his decision to that of Jordan's is ridiculous. A professional lacrosse players life is entirely different from that of a professional basketball players or hockey player. Why should he care about a legacy in pro lacrosse when he is already a legend. the guy is in my eyes the greatest attackman to play the game. not trying to attack you or anything just saying
@Fleurtje0 Het bestaat wel in Nederland. Het is nu nog een kleine sport, maar snel aan het groeien. Er zijn op dit moment alleen nog teams in grote (studenten)steden. Het idee is dat je met dat netje de bal overspeelt en scoort, en daarbij mag je flink gebodycheckt worden. Alleen Mike Powell is zo goed in ontwijken dat dat bij hem niet gebeurt:P
mo coach said hes played with mikey and ryan when my couach was 40 and ryan was 25 and he said mikey was hella fast while on his team and ryan against my coach. my coach said ryan made him look sill and my coach is a really sick player.
it depends on what you play, Attack players usually like box because their goodat dodging in a small space, but middies usually like field so they can beat guys with speed
Actually, for the people saying he left to play in his band, that's just not true. Him and his brothers were just too busy running camps to play in the MLL this year.
@ClashmoreMike The goalie is supposed to make the last slide, when a defender is beat. At worst, he ought to take the shooter down or atleat get in a good bodycheck, even if the shooter scores. On several of these in-close goals, it is better for the goalie to come out stick-on-stick and smash the ball carrier.
@Fleurtje0 This is one of the granddaddys of sports. Believed to be the first sport in North America. Possibly the funniest sport of all time. I sir am from the best town in the world for lacrosse. (:
Mikey Powell isn't all righty he has a lefty goal in there...but its easy making someone trip over the cage from behind...you just have to be small and quick with great direction change...i've done it once or twice...he just makes it look better because hes Mikey Powell...
that's because if defensemen in the MLL waste time hacking at your shoulders, they'll get scored on pads are a lot more necessary when you play against defensemen that try to be good but aren't, and end up hittin you across a bone
@F1yghT na i wouldnt get those....if i were you id get a carolina blue clutch x and put some soft mesh or micro mesh in it.....5 diamond doesnt work welll with the clutch....and put 3 straight strings at the top....not 2 and a u or a v the 3 straight strings work the BEST
notice how i said rabil was amazing, douche he played offensive middie, and was on the field about every time they had the ball on offense that being said, mike's got about as many goals as rabil has total points, he was a machine
I am a high school teacher and lacrosse coach and would like to show this video on the closed circuit school channel to advertise for the lacrosse team. Is that okay with you?
Being a Hobart Lax fan, I dislike Syracuse. I have to admit the Powells were not only great, they were entertaining and good for the sport of lacrosse...
There's a film about to be made involving Lacrosse. It's about a high school player who beats cancer and wants back in on the team, but the coach is against it because of his concern for his health.
Make another Highlight. There are so many more amazing plays in his college career ! The people need it.
Best Attackman Ever
This guy was a god when I used to play lacrosse. This is so nostalgic. He signed my high school lacrosse jacket at lacrosse unlimited. I watched this video 5000 times.
He's a cool dude, I met him in a guitar center once. He sat and talked to me (I was like 17) and was real down to earth.
Mikey was a fucking beast at lacrosse i have never seen any other pro players with the kinda swag he carried, the moves he had on the defense breakin their ankles half the time and then all the tricks he had up his sleeves with all the behind the back, and jumping across the crease behind the goal and scoring who does that???
That behind the back from basically gle was unreal. I’ll never get over that shot
this is such an amazing sport...
He changes direction so fast! It's crazy! I don't think I've seen anyone in any sport change direction that fast.
barry sanders of lacrosse
john christmas
His reflexes are so quick. He also reads the position of the defensive players so well. I've never seen someone this quick before. The defense must feel like fools when he pulls moves like that.
best of all time enough said
So unbelievably ahead of his time. A lot of this stuff is just now becoming normal in the game today.
One of the best lactose vids I've ever seen!
This guys jukes are straight up SICK!!!
Best Player to ever play the game no doubt!
Happy Mikey Powell Day, everyone! Legend.
Mikey Powell is the perfect lacrosse player...athleticism, prowess, incredible lacrosse acumen, creativity and a the skills to top it all off...
He is amazing!
Best ever. I hope he comes back to playing but if not much respect to MP regardless.
2:03 is one of the funnest things to do in laX.
I love seeing it happen
Mikey powell = god
what he does with that stick is amazing...
i met him at the big city classic 2010 and got to shoot against him at a ESPNU booth. It was amazing.
you cant beat this guy hes just a monster. he finds every hole in the defense hes just so fast that nobody can hurt or touch him.

1:15 is the best GB ever

2:04-2:08 that was a perfect finalizer

paul rabil career college pts - 178
mikey powell career college pts - 307
though, no doubt rabil is amazing, my two favorite players
mo coach said hes played with mikey and ryan when my couach was 40 and ryan was 25 and he said mikey was hella fast while on his team and ryan against my coach. my coach said ryan made him look sill and my coach is a really sick player.
Legend.
14 years later
He's truly a great singer and song writer
MIKE POWELL IS THE BEST!
What's more notable about this is his flow,take notes
that is my favourite player in the whole world
is it just me or does the game feel so much faster now than in 2006
it depends on what you play, Attack players usually like box because their goodat dodging in a small space, but middies usually like field so they can beat guys with speed
great clips man..
i tried but he is just a beast
Man his cuts are deep as hell. Thank good i'm a middy, i dont have to be iced like these long sticks.Mike is like Kobe with a Lax stick...unfair.
mikey powell ridiculous
Actually, for the people saying he left to play in his band, that's just not true. Him and his brothers were just too busy running camps to play in the MLL this year.
DAMNNN!!!! he scored behind his shoulders
holy shit... the GB at 1:15 is sick
1 million views!!!
mikey my man
i'm pretty sure powell would own you
ya he does he plays for team usa and the cannons

Speaking as a guy who doesn't know anything about this sport, this guy looks way better than Paul Rabil. Way more interesting to watch.
there uniforms were sick back then
PLEASE post a vid of that if you've got it

GOAT
At that point he was just there to have fun and mess around. When you are that good i mean you really are just there to have fun
1:14 amazing scoop

Mikey Powell isn't all righty he has a lefty goal in there...but its easy making someone trip over the cage from behind...you just have to be small and quick with great direction change...i've done it once or twice...he just makes it look better because hes Mikey Powell...
what if all three of the powell brothers were all triplits?!?! oh my god syracuse would have been unstopable

@GameplayActivity321 idontwannastop1234 is right. its actually called "the fastest sport on two feet." google it
the goalies are just like...holy shit...
I think it was more just catching a bouncer
He's gonna be playin alongside Rabil now
That is not true, he doesn't play to much but he played LXM and is doing a lot to grow the game.
@mormonlaxer14 i totally agree
He was a fucking GOD! my IDOL in HS Lacrosse! I wanted to be him!
notice how i said rabil was amazing, douche
he played offensive middie, and was on the field about every time they had the ball on offense
that being said, mike's got about as many goals as rabil has total points, he was a machine
mostly attack score so slow attack can score more than fast midis sometimes
Most athletic lacrosse player to ever play?
I am a high school teacher and lacrosse coach and would like to show this video on the closed circuit school channel to advertise for the lacrosse team. Is that okay with you?
that dude is fuckin sick as fuck.
my favorite player
it looks cool i am trying out for my school team i hope i make it in*
did all three brothers play for cuse?
wow your really modest
@laxxhappy
He totally is, he never shares his balm, even if my lips are super chapped, forget about it.
no, because it's mikey powell.
M. Powell, P. Rabil 1 v 1 would be sick
Were they all #22?
Filmed through the finest cellophane from the bottom of a well with tin cans. Was this filmed from a camera on the moon?
1:15 the control🤭
all the powells r beasts, mikey is super dirty
goat
I googled myself and found this =D
and people say baseball is better then this great sport
Irritates me when people call Mikey a ball hog, check the stats bro, he had more assists than goals
Naw...it still feels bad when someone fakes you out of your jock strap.
Being a Hobart Lax fan, I dislike Syracuse. I have to admit the Powells were not only great, they were entertaining and good for the sport of lacrosse...
