Twitter reacts to Michael Jordan’s 2K mashup
You have seen Michael Jordan dominate in real life, but have you ever seen him take over the Rec center in 2k?
Well, you are in luck as 2K Community member Devkon made a sick mashup featuring historic moments in Jordan’s career with the Jumpman taking the Rec center back to the 90s. Some moments include Jordan’s infamous one-hand pump fake, signature celebrations, fast break dunks, and his unstoppable fade away.
The legendary mashup picked up steam on social media, bringing quite the reaction as top media outlets such as BallisLife, House of Highlights, and ESPN shared the video.
Since then, the video has garnered more than 850k views, with significant traffic praising the stunning similarities. Many were shocked at how crisp the gameplay made Jordan look like it was taking place in the modern day.
Let us look at how Twitter reacted to the Jordan and 2k mashup.

Now this is some good content from this lane. Hard to get my point across without slandering others, but this is 10x more dope to me than jab step, jab step, jab step, stepback shoot and acting like you’re different.
This is good ball. https://t.co/3HifFieQE3

This is a fine example of why #NBA2K is the best basketball sim today in terms of realism & authentic player animations. Its 1 thing to have a created player that's bald & has #23 on his back. Its another thing to have a created player that LOOKS like MJ & uses his RL animations. https://t.co/HhsXrCJcPu
