    That dunk looks so much more impressive in slow motion. It's one of those that look pretty ordinary in real time, but in slow motion you can really see how incredible it is.

    I never even noticed before but MJ traveled the HELL out of that play.

    Guess Lebron is copying even that.

    Jordan took only 1 dribble after crossing half-court. Now that's athleticism!
    :)

    I could see why you think that was a travel, but when did he actually pick up the ball? Being able to do that whole play with just one hand gave him a little leeway there. I think its close, but it wasn't a travel.

    Just wanted to add, some of Vince Carters best dunks were in the warmups at the Air Canada Center, the guy in his first few years always put on a show for the home crowd. I wish they had been televised, some of them were incredible.

    The Drexler finger roll is so impressive and its a normal shot for him! This is way, way more difficult than the Jordan reverse lay-ups or switching of hands vs the Lakers

    never understood before and still don't...why didn't he just do a regular layup?

    Sure, it was much awesome-er his way, but completely unnecessary.

    check out the poetry below:

    Start the video at 12 second mark. The third to last step coincided with the ball landing in his right hand. He's allowed to take 2 more steps after that, under the rules.

    I think he pretty much stretched the rules to its limits there, but ultimately its a legal play. All the more impressive in slow motion.
