Video: Old Footage of Michael Jordan Dominating a Pickup Game in 1986

Posted Jul 17, 2015
Michael Jordan was drafted by the Chicago Bulls in 1984, but decided to return to campus to finish his degree and play in a few pickup games. His Airness was in prime form, seen here in 1986, and it showed. Of course Jordan couldn't visit anywhere without playing a little basketball. I'm sure there were a few tears from the opposing team when he yelled, "I got next." (Athlon Sports)
