Why couldn't he do 360s, full extension windmills, between legs, etc

He was a poor one-foot leaper




That limited his dunks to primarily two-leg two-handed dunks, limiting the amount of dunks he could do by half

Because he is GOAT. GOAT's leave that weak shit to others.

Like Messi. Messi doesn't do rabonas or crazy flicks like Neymar or Ronaldinho. He is just focused on winning and helping the team.

Efficiency.

Because those dunks didn't really exist yet, or they weren't as prominent. There are plenty of videos of him doing a 360. He never did a full extension windmill, but he's got windmill-esque dunks that are probably just as impressive. There's a video of him barely missing a between the legs dunk off one-foot, and I don't think it's much of a stretch to say he could probably do it.

There are NOT "plenty"

There are a couple of rare clips, outside of live gameplay, and they are the definition of struggle

Come to think of it, I'm not sure if Jordan has even done a baseline up and under slam either.

Some people aren't able to contort themselves without losing a lot of vertical, looks like MJ suffered from that and stuck the basics instead of sacrificing his valued hangtime.

Who the hell cares who's a better dunker? At the end of the day it's the equivalent to a layup.

He did do creative dunks, just that styles change. What really stands out to me when it comes to Jordan's dunking styles is that his movements are made more slow motion. It's hard to explain.

because Jordan was an unathletic stiff... like the Tim Duncan of guards. Great, but with no style or flair to his game. Not exactly much of an "entertainer". Sub-par athleticism as well.

Still an above-average player though :applause:

MELT-DOWN

Complete mind control!

You look like a sniveling infant throwing a tantrum because daddy took away your toys, mothafvcka get serious, nothing you can do will change history.

MJ has never done any technically impressive dunks in his career.

360 in game?

Fully extended windmill?

Baseline up and under?

Eastbay?

Self alley-oop dunk?

Let's say we removed the names from this discussion, there is now way you would be disagreeing with me.

I distinctly remember him dunking like this in the playoffs against the Knicks too, but it wasn't a favorite dunk of his.

Why can't OP do creative topics? Stop making ass-dumb posts about MJ's dunking.
