MIKE SHATTERING BACKBOARD - ITALY CIRCA '86

Even though it's had over 2 million views, this piece of footage is strangely somewhat rare, I guess. I hadn't seen it until my boy Joey Vegas passed it through this week.

Taken from a Nike Summer Exhibition game in Italy in 1986, this clearly pre-dates Shaq's board breaking antics, and even precedes Daryll Dawkins career defining glass shattering/shit talking routine.

Not sure why Nike didnt exploit the SHIT out of this back then, but apparently Mike dropped 30 in that game also. Peep the team photo below with Mike rocking OG 1's.
