Michael Jordan Amazing Ability to Create Space for His Shot (1992.06.10) 

Amazing how he always squares himself in the air to position and angle his body just right for the shot he takes. Nobody is as fundamentally sound.

The way he just hangs in the air for that extra fourth of a second !!

This is the true definition of a fadeaway jump shot. The hang time, the mid flight adjustments, the patience and thinking he’s doing while taking flight. All are reasons he was,is, and will continue to be the greatest to ever do it.

Being old enough to watch this man work was a blessing from above 🙏🏾

The way he can hang in the air and opponents feet hit the ground while he still was in the air, it’s not fair.

You can see how much faster - a thinker he was, the fact he was only injured seriously once. He was agile.

This is still my guy there is no one better than this man

The airness, smoothness, and graciousness no one can do

So smooth, he's floating

The greatest fundamentals ever. Even his missed shots had perfect form everytime.

It's called a fadeaway ppl that's it but the grace & creativity he used behind it was the awesomeness! MJ undisputably & undeniably the GOAT period!

Silky smooth as always the GOAT.

Jordan didn't play basketball. He painted

I miss that white floor, the rose garden was always one of my favorite stadiums to watch a game at

That shit is silky smooth 🧈

MJ said to Magic the night before the game “y’all know I’m gonna give it to this dude right?” GOAT talking.

The best midrange shooter in nba history.

He literally did a 180° degree turn in the air before he let the ball go 😮 🐐

Most players look so awkward in the air, but mj looked so comfortable. And his ability to hang in the air is still so unbelievable to me.

The goat Michael Jordan dude never gets tired never gets hurt n plays every game hard truly amazing player the goat MJ

All upper body strength! Amazing! He elevated the game. The GOAT 🐐

He really does feel the opponent'a legs when he goes for shots. Whether the fadeaway or a jump shot, he takes off when his defender is either off balance or when they are still getting into position to contest the shot.

Jordan was a master at the push on the defender with the left hand. Refs almost never called it if they even saw it.

The world will never have another out of this world athlete like Michael Jordan, he was the most incredible athlete the world has ever seen, astonishing player

Greatest of all time

This is the series that confirmed in my mind that M.J. was special. When you could flawlessly execute that level of athleticism against the great Drexler you got to be a heck of player. Notice he just did not go straight up. He started to twist at different angles. Before that David Thompson.

Elegance... class...smoothness....like he can't /couldnt.. be touched...😎 That's why he was who he was

Jordan was just a beautiful sight floating in the air. Will never be another like MJ

Nobody shoots like this anymore and it’s a damn shame

Those hangtime fade away jump shots are so smooth..

That gracefulness in the air…

Nobody is perfect, but I absolutely love hearing these players after the game and off the field. I could listen to these greats from every sport all day!

MJ owned Drexler, and ‘Clyde the Glide’ was no slouch!

None of that step back traveling mess

jordan made plays like this look easy it was truly amazing to watch and i consider him the goat and withno doubt because he is the deadliest offensive weapon of ell time and was 1st team defense along w that... jus unmatched he was so dependable and consistent it was unreal

Što više gledam, sve više mu se divim! Pored njega čuveni Klajd DREKSLER... Niko mu ništa nije mogao. Neponovljiv. 👑🏀⛹️‍♂️⛹️‍♂️⛹️‍♂️⛹️‍♂️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

He hangs up there for so...damn....long tho!

The perfect combination of athleticism and fundamentals

Wow the way he made that 12 foot uncontested shot I mean just wow

And people still want to put LeBron in the same conversation with this guy ? C'mon people...this is beauty, artistry and elegance, right there. Simply magical.

Mike planted his feet and jumped just as Drexler was stepping forward . He put Drexler in a helpless situation where he cannot do anything but stare.

The Legend🔥🔥

Jordan was truly built different. Man had no weakness to his game and the man was born was made was created for basketball. Greatest basketball player ever and one of the greatest athletes if not the greatest athlete that ever laced em up!

The most underrated part of his game. He was ALWAYS able to get whatever shot he wanted. And if you watch him you’ll always see the amount of separation he was able to get to get good looks at the rim. That was on the differences Phil Jackson once said about him and Kobe. He said Kobe copied all of Mike’s moves but he could never get the separation that Mike would get and therefore Kobe had to make tougher shots.

Man I can't believe Clyde didn't challenge that but that's one thing I got to say how the hell Damon Lillard is 75 greatest player and they don't even got T Mac on that s***

This plumber is pretty good

Not only hang time, Jordan SQUARES IN THE AIR! ITS CRAZY.

Drexler got caught being a fan.

Nothing Clyde could do 👀 wow mj fade away jumper (his airness)

Omg 😱 That defense was amazing and he still beat it. He’s so great!

Clyde didn't even try to defend. He just drove and pulled up. Gotta love that era of basketball. Hand down, man down.

If all else fails he'll simply jump higher than you lol

Poetry in physical form

Classic 1992 basketball game MJ is a legend.

That fade away!! God I miss being able to watch him play. Nobody else does for me what even old clips of MJ does for me. One of a kind the goat!

Clyde handchecks him then becomes a spectator.

I wouldn't use the word greatest, l give that to God, but I will call MJ the best and most entertaining b ball player of them all. Hands down. 👊👊🤚

He played here against Drexler. One of the best ever.

Classic vhs recording 🤣 #90sVibe

No one can GUARD him, He created a unique move to shotwill the ball.

He had speed, skill, and athleticism as a combination over everyone in the 90s

I don’t care what anyone says. This dude is the goat. I’ve never seen anyone play with these types of moves and fundamentals consistently.

It looked like Clyde was expecting Kersey to pick him up.

Clyde was told by the NBA dont breath on Mike to hard...🤣

He done this better than anyone. If he wanted to shoot well, you weren’t gonna stop it.

Jordan’s quickness was unreal ..the reason why he’s always able to create space for his shots is bc his athleticism was unrivaled..he’s able to stop on a dime, rise up, and square his body for the shot while others need that split second to even make the adjustment Jordan is already putting the ball thru the hoops ..Jordan’s legendary endurance and cardio is also an aspect that ppl miss ..remember throughout his prime Jordan was notorious for staying out late gambling, playing 36 holes of golf, slaying women etc etc and yet still played like the energizer bunny in games …and don’t forget he played 82 games most seasons rarely missing any games

He was phenomenal

Like Maguc said "you can't touch Michael it's a foul!" Lol, Clyde made sure not to touch him...lol

I love that I can go back and watch old MJ highlights whenever I please.

When you turn your craft into Art your at the absolute pinnacle. 💯

True art.

Just think if Dr. J., Bill Russell, Kareem, Magic, Isiah, Worthy, Wilt, Jerry West, Bird, Parish, MJ and laundry list of other NBA stars entire careers were shot in HD. That would have been something. Dr. J’s dunk was really something special even without. There’s no Jordan without Dr. J in my opinion. Never compare different eras, it just isn’t comparable.

And I had the privilege of watching him every since his playing days at North Carolina. Wow!!. 🔥🔥

Look at that stellar defense

He's a legend my god ❤❤

What a beautiful shot that was by the GOAT…

The perfect intersection of flair and fundamentals.

Literally argued with a Cousin that Mid range is Harder than a 3 pointer especially when the lane is congested and help comes…

It’s looks easy but when I tried it was difficult

Michael Jordan is the Michael Jordan of basketball

I love when he has his back towards the defender and does a quick turn around then fadeaway creating space

clyde didn’t challenge because he learned his lesson, every single time he contested he got hit with a phantom whistle. there’s mountains of tape to prove this

Jordan, Kobe and Livingston could make those shots. Who else could shoot like that at the highest point?

There are so so many great players in history but you really had to SEE this man play. Just incredible, the Bulls were the only team they showed religiously over in Japan that says allot.

Look at GOAT MJ doing his thing. 💪🏽

It's called a sidestep fadeaway and nobody does it anymore. Kobe did it. LeBron has a version of it but much less athletic.

GOAT

Watched this in Eugene, Oregon when i was a little kid. I remember crying and yelling at the same time.

Clyde didn’t even try to guard him lol

Imagine MJ playing in this era where you can't touch him ( no hand-check).

They wasn't even playing defense

MJ is a real legend

Bruh that like..hanging in the air; an releasing that shot at the right time..is what made Jordan the “Goat”. That’s what Kobe Bryant mastered. All those clutch shot..game winners..just pure greatness.

The GOAT was creating space simply by reading his opponents while playing the game!!

That first step…after the push off

God Damn it that fadeaway jump shot was simply unguardable. MJ is the Master of the game.

"No flop, no excuses just pure greatness. MJ GOAT!"

Ummm? 🤔 You can see that exact move literally every single game on a random Tuesday in February by half the league's players. WTF are you Jordan fanboys/minions doing with these videos! 😳

Best basketball ball times ever in my lifetime. 90s all the way back.

Crazy, he turns in the air waiting for his body to align with the basket. Uncanny body control and hang-time.
