Big John's Right Wrist -- Cocked Or Level?

Uh, MJ...I'm not so sure Big John Cocks his Right Wrist at the End of his Stroke. I saw an overhead view in a commercial photo a while back, and it looked to me like his Right Wrist remained Level. Like you, I had always assumed that it was Cocked! Maintaining that Level Wrist despite such a long Backstroke is why his Right Forearm (and Elbow) gets into that positively outrageous -- but geometrically correct -- 'flying' alignment at the Top.

Would somebody please find and post such an overhead? Let's check it out!
