[QUOTE=3ball]

Apparently, youtube uploader [B]Balthus[/B] actually has A SECOND Jordan website with footage from a few hundred more games.... It looks like there will be at least another 35 chest-to-chest posters from this new reservoir of goatness that I don't have yet.

I will do a couple new posters per day and in a few weeks, I will have added them all to this collection.

The more I collect these highlights the more I realize just how different the brand of basketball was in previous eras...

Back then there was no spacing - guys today simply get a much higher proportion of open shots - how ANYONE can be aware of this and still think Jordan somehow had it easier continues to amaze me.. The NBA has conceded many times how they changed the rules to "open up the game" and any eyetest confirms that open shots are the new expectation in today's game.

This type of collection cannot be accumulated for any other guard or wing - only Jordan had the requisite combination of athleticism and skill to amass this many chest-to-chest posters.

Actually, the second page is from Balthus, not Wisti (fixed the post above)...

It's called Balthus23.. [url]https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiwUHqT1_Hu3tiOJRQE6AbQ[/url]

It contains an awesome 4-hour Jordan compilation... I've only had access to about 1/3 of Jordan's games so far... based on the preview, i estimate this new compilation should have footage from about 100 more games that i hadn't previously seen, which would mean about 35 or so more chest-to-chest posters.. Since the vid is quite long, I had put off watching it..

I'll mention it again - The more I collect these highlights, the more I realize just how different the brand of basketball was in previous eras.. In today's game, players simply get a much higher proportion of open shots due to the spacing - it continues to amaze me how ANYONE can be aware of this yet still think Jordan somehow had it easier despite taking tougher shots amongst far greater traffic.

The NBA has conceded many times how they changed the rules to "open up the game", and any eyetest confirms that open shots and increased freedom of movement are indeed the new expectation in today's game.

The fact that Jordan amassed such a high frequency of posters despite the tougher environment only underscores how only Jordan has the requisite combination of athleticism and skill to amass this many chest-to-chest posters.

Also, I'm discovering many more sources other than the 2nd Balthus channel too..

I'm estimating there's another 100 Jordan [U]chest-to-chest[/U] dunks available on youtube other than the ones already posted...

[I]And honestly, if you look at Dominique, Drexler or Pippen's dunks, a much higher proportion of them are ALSO of the chest-to-chest variety... that was just the nature of the game back then - open looks were NOT the expectation like they are with today's spacing.[/I]

So high. So fast. So much raw explosion. So much coordination... off one or two feet.

Michael "Air" Jordan indeed. :bowdown:

Mods.

OP wouldnt mind going chest-to-chest with MJ at night time

Heck they could go chest to chest and OP still couldnt feel anything from MJ down there

It figures it would be the chest-to-chest part that would get you rattled.

Lebron's lesser ability means he can't match Jordan's posters.. Fortunately for him, today's spacing and resulting easier game doesn't force him to.
