David Thompson Top 10 Plays of Career

Jordan was inspired by this cat but MJ is nothing like him. Kobe inspired by MJ is an exact clone..

That #6 play. Wow like Dr. J or Dr. J like him

#6 should be #2

Skywalker!

He. Was. A. Awesome. Jumper. Ahead. Of. His. Time

His best play was a blocked shot at the end of a ABA semifinal game against the Doctor. Doctor shot what would have been a game winner from the right corner. Thompson picked it off half way. Phenomenal.

DT could snatch a dollar bill off the top of the backboard and leave change.

Bro that first step is crazy holy shit

Who’s here because of his insane 2k rating/ attributes.

In my book he is the best College Basketball Player Ever. I wish his pro career went on for a longer time. I meet David at the Naismith Hall of Fame in 2011. He is a very nice guy and easy to talk to . Thanks for all the highlights over the year DT

#7 should have been called for goaltending .

I met David Thompson in 1975. I was 10 years old and our hands were the same size. If you look at his one-handed dunks, he was always cuffing the ball. Just imagine if he could palm the ball.

This Is Michael Jordan Favorite Player GROWING up ,& Dr. J.

Michael Jordan's favorite players.

Players like him and Julius must've looked like aliens back then!

Nice to hear the voice of our beloved Chick Hearn ‘-

It's crazy how these are just normal plays today. Back when these happened they were amazing plays.

So cool to be able to say I was born and raised just 3 min from where he was and went to the same high school. His Jersey his still on display.

Who’s here for 2k?

Uhh Jordan did you forget to tell us something???

DT was the shit!!!!!!!!!! Elevator! Skywalker! Name it he was IT! And during a no dunk era!! N.

No.3 was complete! 🏀👍🏽

Could this video be any darker?

Lmao 😂
David dunked right in Bobby Jones' face--they were teammates on the Nuggets in 1976, David's only year in the ABA.

Winning Time bought me here 😂😂😂

I know, I know.... "Ja Morant does that in his sleep" 😂

I actually remember some of those, but you missed the SKYWALKER dunk

LeBron lowkey looks similar in style

33 ..❤.. ..😂

#1 That poster dunk on Bobby Jones was impressive. Skywalker made "The Secretary of Defense" look bad.

scored 73 on coke

Such a spectacular player David, with a great class moves and so athletic acrobatic unique jumps..👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

That's the best plumber I've ever seen.

Grew up in NC. It was a pleasure having David Thompson and MJ in your backyard.

Nice 😊

The original Skywalker. Yes, sir.

the man that inspired the man

Kobe looked up to Jordan, Jordan looked up to this guy.

Dude’s head barely even reaches the net! 😅 I see modern-day Joes eyes at rim level. This guy’s hops are yesteryear…

I see a little Jordan so it's safe to say this is one of Jordan's idols

Early Pippen moved a lot like him.

I can see the 80$ legends in this guy. Little mike, Dominique, clyde.

"Jordan was the only player with skill in his era"
~ Anthony Edwards🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

He was Jordan before Air Jordan!

Greatest player of Denver all time

He Dunked on Bobby? Say it ain't so. Bobby was my guy.

Btw.. anybody seen Bobby?
He owes me 5 muthafuggin dollars.
I tried to call him on the muthafuggin phone, but muthafugga wouldn't call me back.
I went by his muthafuggin house, but the muthafugga wasn't home!

Too bad they didn't have any of his ABA days footage!

RIP Kobe and shoutout to Melo. Crazy series 🙏🏾💯🔥

Seeing a video like this makes me wonder why they call try and call these guys "plumbers"...smh
