Michael Jordan Proves He Can Still Throw Down at 50 Years Old

Sports fans online were atwitter this weekend over a photo of basketball god Michael Jordan throwing down a one-handed dunk at the the ripe old age of 50. Now we have the video to go with it.

The YouTube clip -- which, to be fair, comes against the defense of a boy who looks about 8 years old -- is from Jordan's annual Flight School Camp in Southern California.

While he may be going up against a kid who probably won't even be eligible for the NBA Draft until 2024 or so, Jordan does make the jam look rather easy -- making us wonder what else he could pull off if he went all out. One of last season's top NBA rookies, for example, said in February that Jordan beat him in a game of one-on-one.

Check the video out for yourself above, and have a look at the original photo here:
