TG that layup kobe made where he flashed the lane, held up the ball in front of Howard, then floated and came down and threw it in before he landed definitely rivaled jordans right to left layup. In my opinion it was a much harder shot. [/quote]
I would have to disagree. MJ’s right dunk to left layup had much more grace and much more hang time. It looked almost like he paused in the air, thought about the dunk, seeing that it’ll be blocked, so he decided to change his mind and do a layup instead. All of that in one fluid motion. Kobe is an exceptional player, but he’s still no MJ.June 16, 2009 at 12:07 AM #416402anParticipant[quote=SD Realtor]

Mikes right to left was a drive through the lane and actually there was nobody contesting it. What I thought was happening is that Mike was losing altitude. Yes I think he was thinking of a right hand slam but was going to fall short of the rim so he switch hands and finger rolled it in. The fact that he had to finger roll it shows he was running out of hang time.
We will have to review the tape!

June 16, 2009 at 12:36 AM #416175anParticipantSD Realtor, unfortunately, I can’t find the blog I saw this morning with a clip of both. MJ looked in that clip to have plenty of hang time, but changed his direction 1/2 way through the air as he saw an opponent coming up to interfere w/ his dunk. At least that’s what MJ said in the recap of that game. But I could be wrong.
Linky Look at 2:50 for that particular layup. He was in mid air, he saw one of the defender come up, so he changed his mind. That’s how I see it, but I do see where you’re coming from though w/ his finger roll.June 16, 2009 at 12:36 AM #416412anParticipantSD Realtor, unfortunately, I can’t find the blog I saw this morning with a clip of both.
