    A neat look at one of the best players ever, before he was in the NBA.



    I did not know the Olympic team beat the NBA all star team 8 times in a row that summer.

    The all star team they beat didn’t look that impressive, especially since he had Ewing and Robinson, but still respect.

    if only manimal had the skill set of MJ, he would become the actual second coming of MJ, that's why comparing Kobe or lebron with MJ is pointless, MJ is the prefect combination of athleticism, skill and competitiveness, Kobe lacks physicality, Lebron has no heart (still, better than durant), hopefully somewhere a young kid with the same combination are growing up watching mj's videos...

    harden has the perfect combination.

    Not mental fortitude. Plus Jordan's athleticism isn't "deceptive". He was VERY athletic.

    Exactly. Everybody is imitating Harden's beard. Who imitated Jordan's tongue wagging?

    When I watched MJ in his prime and he drove to the basket and got in the air they would talk about his hang time and the second or two he seemed suspended in the air before making the basket. I can't think of a player today that has that same ability. He still has a following among kids and his brand is still going strong.

    No offense, but he is imitating the Middle East.

    Yeah, Kobe imitated the tongue.

    Kobe fancies himself MJ reincarnate. That's just him.

    Ja Morant has the same hang time. Check him out. If only he was taller though, he would be the next Jordan.
