NBA Hardwood Classics: NBA Super Slams Collection

The first review of this DVD got it completely wrong. It was my favorite when I was 13, and 13 years later it still rocks. All the greats make an appearance: Michael Jordan, Dominique Wilkins, Clyde Drexler, Julius Erving, Daryl Dawkins, and Magic Johnson. Here are a few quotes:"It's all about having supreme confidence and not many guys have it." Charles Barkley"My reaction, my eternal reaction, was more about calm and peace after the accomplishment. It's interesting to see how much that's turned around" Dr. J"If you don't believe in yourself, no one else will." Spud Webb"Every time you left your feet you were endangering yourself, because they'd take your legs right out. Players certainly could dunk the ball, but if you dunked it, your man didn't like it, and you'd pay for it the next time." Paul Arizin on the dunk in the early NBA"The best dunk I ever saw was when Chamberlain would go up there and dunk that ball. That was sensational, cause Chamberlain would slam it, really slam it with tremendous force." -The cigar smoking Red Auerbach"They pay cash down here." Daryl Dawkins on playing basketball in Greece"Get tough X, get tough, don't let him push you." Xavier McDaniel"These are people that will just dunk on you, don't care about you. They will just dunk in your face and just make you like it." Magic Johnson"Once he get up there, he say, `Maybe I'll just hang up here for a while, up in the air." Magic Johnson on Michael Jordan"It's all about having supreme confidence and not many guys have it." Charles Barkley"You own the ball, you own the game, you own the guy who's guarding you, and you can actually play him like a puppet." Michael Jordan"Now we ready, now we ready." Magic Johnson on the state of the audience at his off-season charity game"Dunking is a such an overpowering way to score a basket. People can see a dunk and though it only means 2 points, it always seemed to be six points." Michael Jordan"It's just a question of coming through. You know what you can do, go out there and do it. Let it flow." Clyde Drexler"You definitely come to give them a show, if at all possible, while you're playing." Magic Johnson"Damn, I did that, I broke a back board. Now, I gotta see if I can do this again." Daryl DawkinsHands down my favorite basketball highlight video. Entertaining to max. Quotable, and packed with some of the best dunks from the 80s and 90s

Just loved it. Had it on VHS. Just had to have it on dvd. Excellent!!

I got it to help keep my son sane when there are no NBA games - that's working beautifully

Pure Nostalgia.... nothing else needs to be said.

GREAT ITEM, CAN BE WATCHED OVER AND OVER !!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU.

My son enjoyed this.

one of the best nba entertainment films ever made.

Great DVD with great plays and Dunks. I love this time of NBA!!! Malone, Drexler, Jordan, Barkley, Spud, Dominique, Dr Earving etc....

I had the original VHS tapes for all 3 SuperSlams, and they were epic. Classics in the truest sense. I'm so glad that NBA Entertainment has re-released the collection on one DVD. As soon as it was announced, I placed my order and the disc doesn't disappoint. The original SuperSlams VHS box touted, "Maximum DPMs" (dunks per minute) and they're not kidding around. All 3 SuperSlams features are packed with ferocious rim-rattling slams as only players in the 80's and early 90's could do. These aren't wimpy Dwyane-Wade-all-alone-on-a-fast-break dunks; these are Dominique-Wilkins-dunking-on-four-players-with-2-seconds-left-in-a-tied-game dunks. Players in the 80's and early 90's knew how to bring the thunder, and these DVDs showcase it all to some cheesy 80's synth soundtracks. I highly recommend this DVD to anyone who likes dunks and has an appreciation for the classics.
