Video: Michael Jordan Still Has It

While we could do without the “Where Amazing Happens” soundtrack and slow-mo replays during the final minute of the footage, it’s always nice to see Greatness on the court (and talkin’, of course). Sorry Chris “The Ghetto Bird” Young, but the 46-year-old just left you grounded:

    What the f%&# is going on here!? Is this GQ or Slam online??? Who gives a sh*§ about Mike’s pants!…Just glad to see him ballin’! G.O.A.T.!

    ”I bet you there is no nba player right now who can make 10 fade-aways in a row.” That’s a joke, right? I’ve seen Allan Houston not miss a single pull up for 5 minutes straight during pre-game shoot around at the ACC back in the days / You can be the GOAT and still look goofy. MJ is the only human being wearing baggy jeans TUCKED IN.

    You youngsters and your nut huggers.
    Granted, MJ’s pants were too wide, but given the current style, I’d prefer that over catching a glimpse of D*ck print.

  • vmcb

    I’d rather wear ‘nut huggers’ than dress like a clown. ps mj is great.

  • kwame

    y are ppl talkin about his clothes…and his style…he started the baggy shorts trend that everyone still rocks…and he owns JORDAN BRAND…he has more money that any1 on here…so stop the hate…o…and he can still ball haha

  • Lz – Cphfinest3

    Mike will always be No. 1
    Easily the best athlete ever.

  • bulletsforever

    you idiots do realize that Jordan is responsible for the transition into longer NBA shorts, right? IMO you don’t have to dress like Kanye West to have style.

  • bulletsforever

    kwame beat me to it.

    MJ to Jordan clothing designers; “Bath robes. I want all my clothing to feel like bath robes. If it doesn’t feel like a bath robe, I don’t want it caressing my body”. ”

    STOP IT, YOU KILLING ME LOL!!!

  • BostonBaller

    OMG, how can you complain about the jeans when the Man is doing his thing. What is wrong with them anyway? Have you seen what these kids are wearing today? Their jeans hang off their butts so much they can barely walk. I think we should just appreciate the video and move on.

  • James aka…

    I personally like the jeans, but just because he’s rich doesn’t mean he can’t look like a fool in something. Donald Trump is way richer than Mike, does that mean his hair looks good?

  • http://slamonline.com Ben Osborne

    There oughta be a special issue about this guy. He is still the man.

  • chingy

    Ben: is that some kind of foreshadowing? Please let it happen!

  • cp

    who cares about what jeans jordan is wearin. not like u wanna see everyone wearin skinny jeans and girl pants

  • http://Www.lkz.ch Darksaber

    Ben, you tease.

  • http://Www.lkz.ch Darksaber

    Gotta add that the aura of greatness around MJ has not diminished one bit amongst ballers worldwide. Any footage of him playing generates reactions. Crazy! I mean, would any of us gape in awe at Dominique dunking now, or clyde? MJ does a standing two handed reverse THEN schools some fool, while flapping his gums like only he (and GP) could and it’s pandemonium. Love it.

  • b0dj

    MJ is simply timeless!!!

  • Teddy-the-Bear

    You still can’t stop that fadeaway. Man that move is smooth.

  • Teddy-the-Bear

    LMFAO @ Allenp.

  • Teddy-the-Bear

    And since when does Kanye West have style? If you count white sunglasses, skinny jeans,and man-purses style, well…

  • http://Www.lkz.ch Darksaber

    Nut huggers. Gotta add that to the slamonline dictionary i’ve been compiling over the years. Some true gems in there like Anti-Mike, LeBronze and CARTOON (note: only valid if in capitals).

  • Teddy-the-Bear

    Jordan to the Knicks with LeBron and Wade in 2010! Spread the rumor!!

  • http://Www.lkz.ch Darksaber

    Teddy’s right. Shouting Louis Vuitton Don etc on every 2nd track does not make a fashionista… Just portrays one as a needy, attention whore with self confidence issues. Oh wait, we ARE talking Kanye West, sooooo..,

  • Teddy-the-Bear

    LOL co-sign that Darksaber. I have to see that list of vocabulary one day dude.

  • that dude

    A SPECTACULAR MOVE! BY MICHAEL JORDAN!

  • http://yahoo.com Logues

    Ben: of course u need to do a special issue on him, he’s getting named into the hall of fame, so u gotta. 15th anniversary issue? i just bought Beckett’s hall of fame tribute to mj and it was really sweet, and it got me thinkin that u guys should do a special mj issue. please!

    Nice. I wanna still make shots like that in 13 years.
    ___
    Dang it… I want to make that shot tonight?!?

  • BC24

    The Hoop don’t even look 10 feet.

  • http://www.lkz.ch Darksaber

    @Dacre: good one, man. But i do regularly make that baseline fadeaway in games, copied it from MJ (of course) back in the mid 90′s. just hope i can even jump at 46, never mind reverse dunks.

  • TC

    Somebody calls John Rogers!

  • ka

    yall are hatin.
    i like that other vid where hes practicing spot up with the kid and his ranged jumpers he still kicks out that right foot after the release. stylin, thats whats up.

  • Rnz

    The jeans?….man, if I can do fadeaways like that, I dont care if I shoot it in my underwear..

  • RDK

    NICE MIKE

  • Yesse

    Wow.

  • http://slamonline.com/ Spaceship Jay

    By the way Dark, I’m also into T-Shirt design. I’ve already conformed an Anti-Mike shirt… Complete with Kobe celebrating his victory with Mike’s pattened “Pressed lips and clenched fist in the air” expression. Bizzaro-Bulls Jersey included.

  • riggs

    real men dont wear skinny jeans, GTFO.

  • COLT6

    First of all, WTF on the jeans?! Basketball is what you all should talk about. And when you do real talk on Slam it better be about Basketball and MJ, the greatest ever. S we begin… On both their primes,
    Mj would own Kobe Bryant one-on-one anywhere, anytime.I stopped hatin on Kobe since this year’s championship but he is still just a pure copycat of His Airness, watch Kobe’s moves and mannerisms (and oh that jumpshot) on an off court and you will see that he took em from
    MJ. Seriously, Kobe and his 81 points, are just pure imitation. MIKE WAS THAT GOOD. As a player you wonder how it is possible for a man to play god-like. Notice the number 23 and all numbers pertainin to him. They make you wonder if he actually sold his soul to the Devil. Discuss…

  • http://Www.lkz.ch Darksaber

    Dacre, just know that you have a customer in me if that Shirt ever gets made. U gotta give Teddy credit for coming up with the name (at least here on slamonline) though

  • CSP8

    LOL “Which side you want the left or the right?…..GOT HIM”

  • http://Www.lkz.ch Darksaber

    Umm, I’m so not in the Kob’s camp, but MJ never scored 81 on mostly jumpers & FT’s (or 63 in 3 quarters against Dallas a few games before that, for that matter). Those are astonishing accomplishments for the Anti Mike. No diminishing that.

  • http://Www.lkz.ch Darksaber

    Damn, sorry spaceship. Got all my names mixed up earlier. Of course “Anti Mike” is your title to mass produce. Sorry about the mistake
