Rare Footage of Michael Jordan Dunking in High School

Posted Jul 9, 2015
Michael Jordan has been taking flight since high school. In honor of Throwback Thursday, we get a peek at rare footage of His Airness soaring for a dunk during his Laney High School days. It wouldn't be long after when we would see him soar in that same manner wearing Tar Heel blue and eventually Chicago Bulls red. (Athlon Sports)
