## Caption

Can’t believe this was 40 years ago. On July 4, 1986, Michael Jordan and Dominique Wilkins turned a holiday pickup game under the Gateway Arch into one of the wildest pieces of hoops footage you’ve probably never seen.

Patrick Ewing, James Worthy and a few other legends were out there too, with a local reporter serving as ref and was too scared to call a foul on MJ.

Imagine you’re heading down to the Gateway Arch for the 4th of July air show and fireworks and stumble upon basketball legends playing pickup. NBA needs another street game ASAP 🌆
