Michael Jordan Chooses His Best Dunk [VIDEO] Watch It Here! ; Includes Magic Johnson, Scottie Pippen For All-Time Best Team

Michael Jordan continued his promotional interviews sponsored by NBA 2k14. He mentions his best dunk (there must be more than a thousand) and the four guys he would choose to play with him in a pick-up game.

His Airness’ dream lineup consisted of The Dream himself, Hakeem Olajuwon at center, His sidekick, Scottie Pippen and James Worthy of the Los Angeles Lakers (who was also his teammate/mentor at North Carolina) and Magic Johnson, the legend of the Los Angeles Lakers. It’s notable that he did not choose a legitimate power forward.

“I got no chance of losing. None at all." Jordan said in the interview.

He was also asked to choose which dunk he considers his greatest. That’s a tough question since Michael Jordan had countless dunks in his career—perhaps more than anyone. He has played against some of the best centers in the 80s (Abdul-Jabbar, Olajuwon, Ewing and even David Robinson) all the way up to the new breed of big men in the 90s (Shawn Kemp, Dikembe Mutombo, Shaquille O’Neal, Alonzo Mourning). It’s safe to say that he has dunked on all of them, as well as some rivals in Boston, Detroit and New York.

Jordan singles out a dunk he made in the 1991 Playoffs against the new York Knicks. In that dunk, he turned around Charles Oakley and went straight up—face to face with Patrick Ewing, the Knicks’ burly seven foot center, and flushed it on the rim.

"I told him, Georgetown guys don't block shots, they take charges. I dunked it on him so hard it was unbelievable. Every time I see him, that's the first thing I remind him of."

He also recalls a dunk against another Georgetown center, Dikembe Mutombo. Mutombo was one of the most feared shotblockers in NBA history. He became famous for his finger-wagging gesture every time he blocked a shot. Jordan dunked on him and also wagged his finger sarcastically.
