Michael Jordan - Postup Powerhouse (Low Post to Mid Post Progressions)

  • Michael Jordan. GOAT.
    What gets lost about Jordan is that outside of his otherworldly athleticism and unyielding need to win at EVERYTHING, he is easily one of most fundamentally sound players of all-time. He hardly ever put a foot wrong in terms of his footwork, the correct angle is always taken, he’s got a mastery of the glass on both his flip shots and his jumpers. MJ’s post game is preposterously potent. His defense divine. His passing? Unbelievably undervalued. By the time he finished his second 3peat, he had every trick in the book and written an entirely new one all his own.
    Do yourself a favor and go watch Michael Jordan’s Playground.
    I’ll be honest: I wasn’t sure I could ever get myself to do an MJ video. The task seemed too daunting. His skillset sits somewhere between sublime and supremely spectacular and trying to parse pieces of his game seemed insanely difficult. Then ‪@zhugelianges‬ and I got to talking and both our channels love a good player-centric post up compilation. Obviously, Jordan is just the best to ever do it, so why not him, right? Z decided he was going to do the low post stuff and so we agreed I’d do mid post stuff. I found it a little difficult trying to determine which shots to include because some start in the low post and work out to the mid post while others begin further out and work in…so I guess a conceit I used was that so long as it either began or ended in the low to mid post, I could include it. Yes, the video is a little bit messy in terms of different styles but I wanted to include as diverse a selection as possible (#12, #45, rookie to young MJ features, some clips that had to leveled all the way up from 360p, to final Bulls season Jordan). If you’re a post up purist, you’ll probably recognize that the moves might not really be post ups, but it’s MJ so just enjoy.

      @high horse Yeah true, In his early years he jump too much on his shot, in later years he developed it and jump a little (except from a fade away). In his early years his play style is more on driving to the basket and minimal in shooting

    • @anthonycelestin3559
      @anthonycelestin3559 4 года назад +37

      Most of his jumpshots in his younger days look more like floaters where hes hanging in the air off balence like that Craig Echlo shot & he was good at banking shots off the glass wit these high degree off balence jumpers where hes relying on his leaping ability changing directions in midair then shooting a fundamental textbook jumper
      It wasn't just the 3 ball, his overall midrange jumper wasn't there yet & he took years to refine his mechanics so the jumper can be reliable. In his younger days, hes overwelming guys in the paint wit 1 little fake or jabstep would be enough for a defender to bite on it & he can counter by just jumping over u wit an offbalence shot shot off the glass like Duncan. Even when he got the ball in the post, didn't really need fancy footwork, wit his athleticism he could just drive middle or spin baseline

      high horse YOU don’t know what you’re talking about because you clearly didn’t pay attention to MJ in his college days. He already was accustomed to most of these post moves by his sophomore year, which is what OP was referring to, not his shooting mechanics. Yes, his shooting form developed considerably in the nba but reverse pivots, dream shakes and shimmies, drop stepping (no one could drop step on a dime off a turnaround feint like MJ until Kobe emulated it in his later years), one dribble pullups, using frames in the low block...he already had a fundamental handle on these techniques in his rookie nba season. His post game footwork and IQ was unmatched as a guard.

      It's funny because, back then, no one even called it mid-range. That's just what people shot. 3pointers really didn't have a place in the game, other than end of half or game desperation, until after they moved the line in for 3 years to encourage teams to take more 3s.

      @megavolt67 Год назад +5

      ​@Gibran Camus I hope you say the "best" was Wilt or something (and I wouldn't agree, but I can understand it) because LeBron is not better than MJ. Not stat-wise (outside of longevity stats for the most part), not achievement-wise. I've seen some LeBron fans saying that LeBron was the best and MJ was the greatest, but that's a BS attempt at logic which is really a back-handed compliment in disguise. If you're the GOAT but somehow not the best, that implies you had more help and/or faced weaker competition, and when you actually look at stats like all star appearances and opponent records as well as team ratings, LeBron did not have less help nor did he actually face tougher competition overall.

      Why can't ppl appreciate Kobe without trying to put him on the same pedestal as MJ. They should redo the top 10 all time and label Jordan in a whole different grade all by himself. No one belongs in the room he sits in. No one can reach the pedestal he stands on past, present or future. He's in his own world and no NBA player belongs in any comparison or conversation with him. Kobe is easily a top five all time but the gap between him and Jordan is like the gap between Jordan and everybody else. ENDLESS.

    @ReCharredSigh 4 года назад +287

    One of the reasons mj was so accurate on his postup turnarounds (he's just a shade under 50%) was that his shooting wrist was VERY strong. So he could jump out of the gym to get separation with his fade, but he would still have very good control over his shot when he flicked his wrist. This actually doesn't get talked about a lot.
    The reason a lot of other perimeter players struggle a lot more fg-wise when they try to shoot a fadeaway is because they have to use their arms a lot more, lessening the amount of touch and control.

    I've seen enough. Im convinced. He is indeed an offensive Maestro. I like guys like LBJ, but majorities of LBJ's highlights are clearpath lane drives overpowering weaker defenders and mostly coming off a screen in the halfcourt set. Add the threes to that lately, now that is Lebron on the halfcourt set. He improved a bit on the post because of his size, but not yet on the level of MJ and Olajuwon. The closest I've seen mastering the up and under, head and shoulder fake and with a phenomenal footwork like MJ and The Dream was Kobe.

      Kobe was way better shooter than jordan, if kobe made that his staple it would have been easy for him. Kobe used to use it but it wasn't his "go to". Kobe used everything in Jordan's arsenal, Jordan even said Kobe is the only person he thinks can beat him one on one because he knows all his moves. Phil said Kobe is a better shooter and stats even prove it. Jordan had maybe 1/2 step on kobe on everything besides shooting in their primes.

    38 years old from Chicago. I don't care what anybody says there have been great players post Jordan but this guy was something else. What separated him was his will. Jordan, Magic, Bird are for me the holy trinity of basketball.
