Same here. I admit i wasn't able to see much of this most recent tournament, though. As i said above, he's one of my favorite players ever, so it's good to now know he's still got 'it.'
I felt the same way watching him play LAST tournament [2017]. The old gray mare just ain't what she used to be, which is inevitable for a player who's game was predicated upon freakish athleticism.
But he dialed back the clock in this year's tournament. He's still got a little juice left in the tank. I don't know if him playing this season is based upon pension [as suggested above] or him deciding after this summer to take one final shot at playing organized ball before the opportunity is no longer there, but dunks like the one in the OP suggest that he's still capable of producing some impressive highlights.
