For those of you that remember the good old days, when everyone had avatars, some of you may know I am a Michael Jordan fan. Well I just went to see him play for the first time in my life...I feel truly privileged.

I got to see him light up last year's Eastern Conference Champion for 19 in the first quarter...sadly, my beloved Wizards lost. But I wanted to offer you all this lifelong piece of advice - if Jordan comes to your city, go see him play. No matter how old he is, there is something about seeing greatness right before your eyes, the kind of player/competitor/soldier/icon that only comes along once in a generation. a museum...go see our generation's greatest living artist perform on NBA floors.

Jordan is , he maybe be getting older, but he's still got the ability to amaze the crowd.

 

Car is almost ready...exhaust and tires is all I need and I'll be rolling. should be done by next weekend.

but back on topic - Jordan transcends economics. He's the closest thing we have to God in our society - he does everything on his own terms, answers to no one, and cannot be stopped. Marriage breaking up? no problem, drop 96 points in 2 games. Got the flu? no problem, drop in 40-something against the Jazz. The fanatacism for this guy borders on idolatry...what little kid didn't have a pair of Jordans? Hero-worship at its finest.

 

Yeah, you must be bombed because Jordan blows. Oh, wait, he did have 30 last night, right? Kiddin', BTW.

I live in Milwaukee where he has the highest scoring average per game against the Bucks. Bastard!

Milwaukee.... where real is made.

 

Jordan will live forever in our minds

 

but here is the difference...Jordan may not jump as high as Vince does, but you can not stop Michael. Nothing can stop him from getting the shots he wants. Vince just isn't that kind of player. He can be shut down and contained; Michael can't.

 

the all-around player

from leadership, enthusiasm, to actual basketball skills...u name it. No one does it better than MJ, yet.

 

MJ as a bball player

yoshi - who had an incident w/ MJ

 

you've got IM

 

Oh No!

You've just burst Ross' bubble!

 

hey the guy's gotta be a little arrogant...I'm not surprised. I have heard about the negative side of MJ, trust me.

Yoshi, what happened??

 

Arrogant? No. I have talked with him personally. He lives by me and his kids go to my sisters school. He's a nice guy. I remember hearing a story of how one time a kid in a wheelchair wanted a picture with him and the fathers camera had run out of batteries. Jordan waited 30 minutes while the father went to get new batteries.

 

MJ- no doubt that he's the best basketball player ever...

I've seen him play my t-wolves the other day.. and he still amazes me!

 

As a wise caller to the Jim Rome show once said:

"Rather he's got the flu and drops 38 or if he's 38 and gives you 50, he is still the man."

 

Hmm, I wonder when he's gonna be back in LA

 

I got the chance to see MJ play when he was still playing on top of his game when he was playing for the Bulls. It was awesome, Jordan, Pippen, Kukoc, and Rodman on the same floor. The best part was, it was good seats, because my mothers client has season tickets, and he couldn't make it to a game, so he gave it to her, and she gave them to me. The seats were 2 rows above the Bulls bench.

 

I don't think MJ has ever found a shot that he doesn't want. There's been a couple times this season that MJ has been shutdown. Remember the 6 point performance? As for Vince, I don't think he's the total package. If I were the Raptors, I would have kept T-Mac over Vince as he is more complete.

 

Jordans awsome, sucks he's having trouble with his wifey. Anyway make sure you pick up "The Globe" it has a HUGE article about mike in it. I doubt its all true but i was amazed!!!

 

I saw him drop 50 on the Lakers back in the early 90`s..damn that was a long time ago!!!!!!!!

 

I saw him drop 56 against the Bullets a while back.

 

I also saw him drop 69 against the Cavs on TV. Also seen him make countless game winning shots. But my all time favorite move by MJ is the baseline drive where he had against the Knicks in the 93 playoffs. He drove to the basket with Starks on him, then Charles Smith (I think), jumps in front of him so he drives back away, and he's double teamed, then all of a sudden he shakes both of them, and goes up for a jam over Ewing. It was one of the most sweetest moves I've ever seen in my life. Does anybody know what I'm talking about?
