This guy was a god when I used to play lacrosse. This is so nostalgic. He signed my high school lacrosse jacket at lacrosse unlimited. I watched this video 5000 times.
Mikey was a fucking beast at lacrosse i have never seen any other pro players with the kinda swag he carried, the moves he had on the defense breakin their ankles half the time and then all the tricks he had up his sleeves with all the behind the back, and jumping across the crease behind the goal and scoring who does that???
His reflexes are so quick. He also reads the position of the defensive players so well. I've never seen someone this quick before. The defense must feel like fools when he pulls moves like that.
You have to respect the guy for living his own life. College lacrosse was and will be for a while the premier form of lacrosse. Comparing his decision to that of Jordan's is ridiculous. A professional lacrosse players life is entirely different from that of a professional basketball players or hockey player. Why should he care about a legacy in pro lacrosse when he is already a legend. the guy is in my eyes the greatest attackman to play the game. not trying to attack you or anything just saying
mo coach said hes played with mikey and ryan when my couach was 40 and ryan was 25 and he said mikey was hella fast while on his team and ryan against my coach. my coach said ryan made him look sill and my coach is a really sick player.
it depends on what you play, Attack players usually like box because their goodat dodging in a small space, but middies usually like field so they can beat guys with speed
@Fleurtje0 Het bestaat wel in Nederland. Het is nu nog een kleine sport, maar snel aan het groeien. Er zijn op dit moment alleen nog teams in grote (studenten)steden. Het idee is dat je met dat netje de bal overspeelt en scoort, en daarbij mag je flink gebodycheckt worden. Alleen Mike Powell is zo goed in ontwijken dat dat bij hem niet gebeurt:P
Actually, for the people saying he left to play in his band, that's just not true. Him and his brothers were just too busy running camps to play in the MLL this year.
@Fleurtje0 This is one of the granddaddys of sports. Believed to be the first sport in North America. Possibly the funniest sport of all time. I sir am from the best town in the world for lacrosse. (:
@F1yghT na i wouldnt get those....if i were you id get a carolina blue clutch x and put some soft mesh or micro mesh in it.....5 diamond doesnt work welll with the clutch....and put 3 straight strings at the top....not 2 and a u or a v the 3 straight strings work the BEST
@ClashmoreMike The goalie is supposed to make the last slide, when a defender is beat. At worst, he ought to take the shooter down or atleat get in a good bodycheck, even if the shooter scores. On several of these in-close goals, it is better for the goalie to come out stick-on-stick and smash the ball carrier.
Mikey Powell isn't all righty he has a lefty goal in there...but its easy making someone trip over the cage from behind...you just have to be small and quick with great direction change...i've done it once or twice...he just makes it look better because hes Mikey Powell...
that's because if defensemen in the MLL waste time hacking at your shoulders, they'll get scored on pads are a lot more necessary when you play against defensemen that try to be good but aren't, and end up hittin you across a bone
I am a high school teacher and lacrosse coach and would like to show this video on the closed circuit school channel to advertise for the lacrosse team. Is that okay with you?
