@arrganilaiyg badulaiyg but Jordan was more finesse, & he looks amazing in the air. Wilkins dunks were just power, he looks awkward, I don't like his movements up there. Just my opinion.

@r3tr0actiongamer24 2 роки тому

Wilkins had the same dunks, all power dunks with little creativity. He was getting high scores with a couple of gifts as 50's. Jordan had a bunch of 47's that deserved to be 49 or 50's so if anyone was getting robbed it was him.

You gotta remember, they are probably taking into consideration how well the shot can be blocked. Imagine trying to guard Jordon when he’s doing all that juking in mid-air.

I don't know but all MJ's dunks right now seems common on todays standard but if you watch them in slow motion the hangtime in my mind no one on todays dunker seems to replicate this, he looks likes gliding gracefully on to the air, it is beautiful to watch.

@@r2Factstv I am a WAY bigger fan of Jordan that Dominique, but this is an easy call. That two handed windmill was a 50 all day, every day. Jodan's free through dunk only should have been a 50 if he took off behind the line. Sorry MJ.
