they did their thing w/ that.

when jorn came on at the end, my youngest son (the one who is crazy about bball, 9th grader), was like, 'jordan took all of the on court stuff from doctor j, but not the off-court stuff'.

in other words, the class.

i was explaining when it started how its so hard to compare across eras, b/c you got to give props for those that did it first. there was an oscar robertson before magic, etc.

(and i know connie hawkins was doing the damn thing right before doc, and doc certainly took some shit from him), but the foul line dunk. the cuff dunk. the waving the ball around while palming it to get off all the ill finishes. jordan swagger jacked a LOT of shit from the doc. having the shoes.

but the classiness and non-assholishness he completely left alone.
peace & blessings,
