AHHHHh!!! I vaguely remember what you're talking about.

What year was this?
 
no no no no. About as authentic as lebron's 94' causual jumpshots.

Proof its a video tweak, go to the 40 second mark, pause it and use the left/right arrow key to advance/rewind.

He's shooting over his head behind him.

When the ball hits the wall (which it appears the ball doesn't even hit the wall), it bounces down.

Then mysteriously in the air, the ball is redirected towards the basket.

Must have hit a real thick patch of air!

If you look at the next shot at the 43 second mark, the shot goes upward and the upward trajectory changes again midway to a steeper ascent before it hits the wall.

Their biggest flaw in this video was encoding to a quicktime movie...I don't think you can go frame by frame with the arrow keys in wmp. :laugh:

McDonald's. (1993 Superbowl). Michael Jordan (star basketball player for the Chicago Bulls) and Larry Bird (star basketball player for Boston Celtics) play a game of one-on-one, winner to get a Big Mac. Each shot is more spectacular and improbable than the one before. "Off the floor, off the scoreboard, off the backboard, no rim," Bird says -- and then executes. "Over the second rafter, off the floor, nothing but net," Jordan counters -- it's good. The ad ends with the two of them sitting on top of the Hancock Building (about 80 stories) [98 actually] and Jordan sinking one "off the expressway, over the river, off the billboard, through the window, off the wall, nothin' but net."

yup, that too.

Wow, are you guys dense? Look at how far the ball moves between two frames. There's a LOT of space there. More than enough for it to bounce off a wall or a floor. :roll:

Yes, they are that dense.

The real trickery here is the wide angle lens they are using that makes all their shots look twice as far as they really are. You people need to remember to go back to the basics every once in a while and stop analyzing things pixel by pixel.
 
Ok I never noticed the wide angle lens but even then something is weird about the video, Like it doesn't play smoothly.

Yes, it's called a low frame rate. It makes the file smaller so they save on bandwidth.

You didn't read my previous post. I pointed out segments that are 100% indisputably fake imo.

FAKE, end of story
