YouTube of the Day: Michael Jordan breaks things
Ball Don't Lie —
You know, for someone who snuck chances in his second grade
class to write a Michael Jordan "biography" in his Mead Notebook back in the
spring of 1988, as someone who has poured over just about every other MJ bio in
the years since, and as a former Cook
County resident, I can't
believe that I've never seen this before:
MJ, on a Nike tour, playing on a Spanish team, chains
flying, backboards breaking, as angular and potent and breathtaking as ever?
Where did this come from?
If you didn't watch long enough to see the backboard break,
look at this: ...
Great Web Find: MJ Circa '86
Hugging Harold Reynolds —
Ethan from NESW Sports & SEC Football Blogger passed this along. The amazing part is not just that he shattered the board, but he did so after taking off from about a foot within the charity stripe with a defender (who looks like an emaciated Johnny Damon) in his face. Bonus points for the 80's buddy-cop comedy soundtrack. ...

Michael Jordan Broke A Backboard Too
Intentional Foul —
Just in time for the NBA Playoffs, this find comes courtesy of NESW Sports and it features Air Supremacy going in for one of his trademark kiss-the-rim style leaner dunks that he made oh so popular. Only this time, the backboard comes down with him.
And you thought Mike just personified grace and beauty when he was flying through the air. He went to the rim with a little bit of power as well, contrary to the belief set forth in the Dominique/Michael dunk-off from 1988.

Rare Video: Michael Jordan breaks backboard, eat your heart out Shaq
Hail Mary Jane —
Here is a very rare video of Michael Jordan breaking a backboard back in the day. Very cool video and it would suck to be those guys that all the glass fell on. I have a few questions though, 1. Whats with the uni’s? 2. Why does the backboard look so cheap? 3. Can we shoot whoever picked out the music for this video?

Send It In MJ: Michael Jordan Apparently Broke A Backboard In 1986
FanIQ Blog —
Old school video traveling around the 'sphere this morning, one I definitely hadn't seen before.
Michael Jordan apparently broke a backboard in his career. Traveling with a Spanish team (who knew?) playing Italy, Jordan throws down over some vertical leap, cheeseburger deprived Italians.
As someone who grew up obsessing all things Michael Jordan, and residing in Chicago, I'm a little stunned this is my first viewing. Also surprised he was able to do this with one-hand. How weak were the backboard over there? Good thing Darryl Dawkins never made the trip. ...
Young Jordan Showers Euros in Broken Glass
The Sporting Blog —
For all the love and respect that's heaped upon Michael Jordan really, does any other sport have an undisputed Greatest of All Time we sometimes forget. Sure, the mature, jump-shooting Jordan won a lot of rings, but hot God this guy was amazing in his younger days. Safe to say that, well before he became the face of all of America, MJ was the most exciting basketball player who ever walked this planet. Case in point: This video ...
I totally stole this from Freedarko
Some People's Kids —
This is Mike, whom I want to be like. Apparently it's not just Shaq and other 300 pounders who manage to shatter the backboard. I now expect every graceful and dominating shooting guard to break the bucket at least once in their life time. (I'm looking at you Kobe, and eventually you Roy (damn you McHale for trading ...
We Interrupt This Program: Brawlin’ With the Bird
Gate 21 —
A little mindless YouTube action this morning courtesy of NESW Sports, and the Ethanator.
I grew up watching Larry Bird as a kid. I always remember how amazing it was that this geeky looking white guy, who seemed to have a perpetual wedgy while on the floor, could seemingly run circles around the competition and light up the basket like no other. The other thing about Bird was that he never seemed to get frazzled, always played with composure, and never seemed to get into any shoving matches with other players.
All except for this one day … ...
Italian Backboard, Meet Michael Jordan
ESPN.com - TrueHoop —
Video I have never seen before, of Michael Jordan shattering a backboard onto the heads of competitors in a 1986 Nike exhibition game in Italy. A man named Juan Martin posted it to YouTube, and says he shot the video himself for Spanish television, and swears it is not fake. (Thanks Jeff.)
So Michael Jordan Could Dunk Pretty Well
Larry Brown Sports —
Yeah, little bit of a newsflash for you just in case you hadn’t heard. We’ve all seen many of MJ’s highlight reel dunks over his career. But there is one Henry shared on True Hoop that I had never before seen. If this were an MJ DVD, it would be in the special features section. When was the last time you saw 23 shatter a backboard in Italy?
That was pretty sick. Oh, the beauty of YouTube.

You’ve got me for another night while Lang holds it down in ATL with the messed up shot clocks and the crazy Hawks. He’ll be posting game notes, while I’ve got this spot for you all to get your discussion on.
After a late lunch with some of my family I came home to settle in for the day/night. I am the laziest person alive during these playoff weekends and it is the most amazing thing in the world until I actually stop and think about how inactive I am over these 48 hours. Doesn’t get any better.
First game of the day was Toronto and Orlando and when I tuned in, Toronto was up and looking good. I definitely jumped the gun when I emailed a ...

Ultra Rare Video of Michael Jordan Shattering Backboard With One Hand
Hail Mary Jane —
Here is very rare video of Michael Jordan from 1986 in a Nike Exhibition game in Italy where Michael Jordan dunks and breaks the backboard with one hand. Are you kidding me?
It would suck to be that guy that was just walking to get the ball to inbound it and all of the sudden a shower of glass falls in his face. What did he not hear the sound of it breaking?? I hope he didn't have his eyes open.

NESW Sports, 2008 Videos of the year

NESW Sports, Videos of the year. We focus on Sports Videos. I love sports, and I love sports vids. When I was a kid I would sometimes watch the same episode of Sports Center 2 times in a row. ( That was back when they just replayed the episodes in the morning. ) I also love, and do not hate me for this, AFV. America’s Funniest Home Videos just makes me laugh. I think it is the reactions that people make to what is happening. It is not fake or canned laughter like a sitcom. I like to think that this blog is a mixture of Sports Center and AFV. Anyways, after 9 months of putting my ...

So, how good are we?
Better than the Lakers but worse than the Magic? No, we're not. Every pundit in the business seems to think that we were extremely lucky to beat a depleted Lakers team, and I'm afraid I tend to agree. Even Bawful at Basketbawful wasn't convinced by our victory, after he claimed that the Spurs were at that point in a team's evolution where they were good, very good, but just couldn't win games against the top-tier teams. Tough crowd.
This was an important win for us, don't get me wrong, but we need to improve. Thing is, it's always easier to improve when you're winning. Or at least it feels that ...

Sir Charles In Charge | An NBA Blog —
Just when I thought I’ve seen all of the highlights of Michael Jordan out there, this one pops up. Apparently this is an exhibition game played in Italy in which Jordan was a part of some sort of Nike team. In the opening seconds of the video it shows a team picture of the team MJ was on, does anyone else recognize any of those other players? If anyone knows anymore about this, please feel free to comment.
