Magic goes on to describe how during a dream team practice game, MJ went up on the right side and david robinson went up to block the shot. MJ waited for D Rob to land on the ground and while still in the air, did a 360 dunk. Said it was the best dunk he ever saw because he hung in the air for so long before doing the 360. :eek:

Magic's obviously exaggerating..the only 360 dunk I've ever seen Jordan do is in his first dunk contest.

No, people have questioned others about it that saw it and said that’s how it went down. Magic’s team was up 12-2 and Magic said “you better go into air jordan mode or you gonna get blown out”. Adrenaline kicked in and MJ hung in the air, waited for D rob to drop out of the air, and 360’d before he landed. Said it was the sickest dunk he ever saw in his life.

Like who..it's just another exaggerated tall tale like all the Wilt stories.

It’s just like if someone told you VC jumped over a 7 footer in the Olympics. If you didn’t see it, you’d call bullshit because it’s never been done by anyone else.

The hang delay air jordan 360 is no different.

It was on the baseline, so probably one of those baseline 180's, like a better version of this

I've seen MJ do this on Ewing and DRob on a televised Magic charity game.

They used to televise these games here in LA. I clearly remember MJ jumping and both Drob and Ewing jumped to block him and he did a 360 around them to dunk.

Robert Horry I believe had a 360 dunk in a game on someone, Kenny Walker had a crazy 180 and Kemp had a crazy dunk vs the Knicks as well.

I might be wrong but I think JR Smith also had a 360 dunk on someone as well.

MJ's done 360 dunks before (not in game)

here's perhaps an example of what Magic was referring to: https://youtu.be/seVLmfaW7HU?t=115 or close to that.

It's not so much the 360, it's the fact that he stayed in the air and waited for D Rob to land before contorting his body in the air for the 360. If it was just a 360 magic wouldn't have made such a big deal out if it.

Magic makes a big deal about everything.

We've seen Jordan do one 360 dunk in his life.

You're sipping Kool-Aid and you know it.

He may have exaggerated a bit, but we have seen MJ jump before the defender and land after the defender plenty of times. So maybe he didn

We just have to accept that the greatest dunk of all time was not viewed by us.

DAMN that second gif. Pretty much Gerald Green's alley oop dunk except not quite as high up.

Never saw this before :applause:

OP believes something Magic said...while also referencing a scrimmage...OP proves every day how little brain cells he has.

Just because you stan the GOAT does not mean you are qualified to talk basketball.

You can't have "the greatest in game dunk ever" if no one was posterized.
