Jordan Triple Pump Reverse Layup

[jfsolo]

What's so surreal is that if you've never seen the clip of the move, and you see it in the video game first, it would be totally logical to call BS on the developers.

"What, that's impossible, nobody can do that, not even Mike"

I think MJ had another little pump that doesn't exist on the gameplay clip. Still, it's an awesome recreation of that move.

I wonder why more people haven't at least attempted moves like that.

Yeah the motion is a bit too smooth in the game, instead of sharp right-left-down movements.

I'm not knocking the animation that's there, it still looks great, but it's certainly not "spot on exactly the same thing". They would need to mo cap a 28 year old MJ to get it spot on, and, well, I don't think any of those exist?

Like I said, it was a once in a lifetime shot for MJ even, cutting perfectly through the defense.

Great recreation there by MM.

I would assume it has something to do with MJ having the GOAT combination of hang time and body control!

Carter and Kobe have had some incredible reverses through traffic, but neither could hang like MJ.

They don't wan't to look foolish throwing up some wild shot as they crash into a defender or fall to the ground head first. No one else has had that kind of body control in the air while moving that far forward or sideways.

I'm reasonably sure Derrick Rose can pull it off if he's in the zone. There's no one else in the league with the type of body control Derrick Rose has. And, since he's shorter, it might be slightly easier to pull off, considering the type of hype he has.

We're talking about a dude that routinely does reverses, but never seems to fall, like say, D-Wade.
