We've all heard the story. A 5-foot-11 Michael Jordan didn't make the varsity basketball team during his sophomore year in high school.
After enduring a life-changing growth spurt ahead of his junior year, Jordan altered the trajectory of his burgeoning basketball career by averaging a triple-double in his senior year (29.2 points, 11.6 rebounds, and 10.1 assists) and being selected to the McDonald's All-American Team.
A video of Jordan as a member of the Emsley A. Laney High School team emerged recently, showing a young M.J. leaking out on the fast break for the uncontested dunk.
Seeing this clip must add some extra salt in the wound for Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski, who famously attempted to recruit Jordan in 1980.
Thank you, Internet!
