a little fun diversion - video trivia

[cranrab]

by now, most of us have probably seen the new michael jordan commercial for nike xxi... it ends with the phrase 'let your game speak'...

the commercial uses 12 sequences from michael jordan's basketball career, and recreates the the real-life events using child actors...

click here for the youtube link to see the commercial

fill in the blank numbers if you can ID the REAL LIFE event the sequence came from... i'll help you on the easy ones...

1.
2.
3. 1991 nba finals v. the fakers
4.
5.
6.
7. was this a throwback to his tar heel days (look at the uniform)
8. 1988 slam dunk contest (one of these is incorrect)
9. 1988 slam dunk contest
10. 1992 ECF v. the cavs (or was it 1993?)
11. 1998 nba finals v. the jazz
12. 1993 nba finals v. the suns (or was it the supersonics?)

for the hardcore buffs, can you remember the REAL LIFE OPPONENTS that were also replaced by child actors?

of course,

3. sam perkins
10. craig ehlo
11. bryon russell

naw, there's still a few obvious ones left...

especially the focused defensive stance and the ball palming sequence...

All I know is that on the simulated move against Byron Russell,
the child did not push off the way Jordan did

you noticed that too, eh?

LOL

they 'corrected' the left hand push off on the hip...

actually, it's still there, but less noticeable...
