Ya, when do you think that occurred during his career?
When did it start to become noticeable for you?

When he came back in 1995. He still could get up better than most at that time though.

I can understand why it would appear that 1990 was his last good dunk year. He was def killin guys then. But in 91 his game transitioned a bit to more shooting. The team was more well rounded so he didnt have to go so hard like he was in years before.
Well 1993 was a year he wasnt gonna be stopped. He had it all at that point.

BRUH... the only thing that lessened during the first 3-peat was some of the flashiness, the bounce was still there.
Mike was still catching bodies in 1998

Best MJ dunk of all time...
Word. His Dr. J foul line dunks have nothing on this. Soaring.

Jordan is my favorite dunker, next would be Julius Erving and Vince Carter. I always love pulling off the Free Throw Line dunk in NBA 2K.

So many holes being poked in that he lost his hops in the early 90s theory.

Off the top of my head, Dr. J, Jordan, Dominique & Kemp are some of my favorite slam dunk artists.
edit:
I forgot about Barkley too.
"I'll throw it down your throat like Barkley. You see my car keys? - you'll never get these."
But he was more of an all around beast than a pure slam dunk artist.

Kemp was a beast
Him and Payton were the original lob city
That Sonics team was fun to watch

Kemp and Dominique were a blast to watch dunk in their primes. And don't forget Spud Webb!

5s are highly nostalgic for me. Black Metallic 5s were the first ever Jordan I got as a kid back in 1990. Haven’t really had many pairs of the 5 since, but excited to see these 3M tongue Fire Reds releasing with OG treatment. Willing to pass on the UNC 3s in favor of these 5s.

I missed the metallic 5 release - how were they received compared to the original? Any noticeable flaws?
