Jordan Shattered A Backboard? / May 12, 2008 / 10:00 am


Enjoy this little treat! Summer of ‘86, Nike exhibition game in Italy. I don’t even remember him shattering a backboard a day in my life so this is just amazing to me.

    Wow, cool.

    I always thought MJ was a little overrated as a dunker but this might change my mind.

    saku 39….overrated as a dunker? check the 87 contest where he changed dunking forever with the kiss the rim and double pump from the freethrow line, which no one has been able to do. its ill how the glass didnt hit him.

    No doubt MJ was great, one of the best even, but I just don’t like how a lot of people put him over guys like Julius, Nique, and even Vince.

    Kiss the rim is one of my favorite dunks ever. USA Basketball on Sega Genesis was one of my favorite games just for that move.

    That said, from what I have seen James White is the king of free throw line dunks.

    I think I’m pretty objective but then again I could be a long-suffering Knick fan in denial.

    o wow usa basketball lolol
    james white had the ill in between the legs from the line but he couldnt produce it at the college slam dunk contest or the nba
    it was an ill dunk though
    i would just like to witness one knicks chip

    u put him above everyone cause he revolutionized the use of gravity no doubt Julius Domonique And vince were sick but think about it Mike dunked on everyone that thought they couldent be dunked on and if you didint think you got dunked on he would get you twice in the same game.
    Think about it
