Michael Jordan Can Still Fly At 50

There is clearly some Air left in his Jordans.
Michael Jordan wowed campers at his annual Flight School camp in California over the weekend, showing that His Airness can still fly — albeit at a lower altitude — by rising up and dunking with one hand.

At 50-years-old. In a pair of jeans and Air Jordans.

“This still happens,” was the description accompanying the photo sent out from the Twitter account of Jordan’s camp, @MJFlightSchool.

A YouTube video shows a young camper defending Jordan, and when he goes for the steal the Hall of Famer drives the lane and throws down the one-handed jam. Jordan takes the youngster to school one more time in the short clip, playfully backing him down before spinning away and sinking a running left-handed hook shot.

Something has clearly gotten into the NBA stars of the 1980s and 90s this summer, as they’ve reminded a younger generation that they still have it. Or at last some of “it.”

In the NBA TV documentary, “The Doctor,” 63-year-old Julius Erving throws down a one-handed jam and Pacers star Paul George told Slam Online last month that at one point during the season Larry Bird picked up a ball that had rolled over to him on the practice court and calmly drilled “about 15 (shots) in a row and just walked out like nothing just happened.”

Jordan, a notoriously fierce competitor, has made it a habit of reminding younger players why he’s considered the greatest of all-time — Bobcats rookie and No. 2 overall draft pick Michael Kidd-Gilchrist admitted that Jordan, his senior by 30 years, beat him in a game of one-on-one last season — though that probably wasn’t his motivation here.

Campers at UC Santa Barbara were as young as seven-years-old and the kid "defending" Jordan doesn’t look much older than 10.
