In all honesty, it *does* look kinda slick via replay.
That being said, plays like this illustrate the beauty of innovation and how the game evolves over time because of it. I know there’s a certain group who’d use this type of clip to criticize one era while lifting up the present, but the present largely exists as it does *because* of plays like this. Somebody had to cross that threshold and show the way.
Those same critics may not even realize that the current era will be no different. Those who broke the mold this era will be endlessly copied and emulated until future generations look back at our bewilderment over certain plays from the ’10s and wonder why we all treated them as being so spectacular.

I believe this is what the kids these days are calling âglazing on historical levelsâ

Doing that without cupping at all is impressive. I think if they saw players do what they do today theyâd call it Harlem globetrotter entertainment because you canât do 80% of what players do by the rule book. Obviously the Harlem globetrotters are extremely good at cool stuff but without a doubt they would not applaud modern handles in a game setting

Look at how insane the spacing was back then. Every defender was inside the three point line. It took so damn long for players to actively use that 3 point threat to its full potential (thanks Steph and Harden in their own ways for fully showing its potential.)

i know its stupid but they should show this to old people to say jordan has no left hand just to trigger them

That is impressive…But nothing will ever beat his layup against the Nets in 91.

Clowning on the relative simplicity of the move aside, I can’t believe how slow it all is. Definitely didn’t feel that way watching in the 90s, but I guess I didn’t have a point of comparison.

I like how so many Jordan highlights are against Cleveland. What did they ever do to him?Â

I see this video on Instagram a lot so that nephews can make fun of this era, which is dumb. It’s like making fun of Bill Gates because he created Windows instead of a smart phone.

Why are we suddenly getting an influx of MJ posts. He’s done nothing in 30 years

Itâs called a carry

Thatâs just flat out not that impressive, and thatâs not to say Jordan wasnât capable of truly impressive stuff, itâs honestly more just puzzling why this clip of all clips is being posted? Heâs got a million moves better than this.

LeBron James Stuns Commentators with Unbelievable Point-Forward Wizardry
Stuff like this is why itâs difficult today to judge MJâs impact on basketball via youtube. What he did then feels normal today, but back in the 80s/90s, it was out of this world.
In that same light, itâs pointless to say âso he isnât as great because he didnât face todayâs competitionâ when he himself played such a significant role in todayâs competition being as good as it is. The era after him, the Lebronâs, Wade’s, Melo’s, Kobe’s, Iverson’s etc. all grew up watching and imitating him.
