Michael Jordan


I’ve never seen Wilt Chamberlain play, but I’ve seen Michael Jordan and he’s the greatest basketball player to ever play the game. I've seen him dominate games as if he was playing against kids. I’ve seen him lead a bunch of scrubs and Scottie Pippen to six NBA championships. I’ve seen him break down Bryon Russell not once, but twice with the same move in different years and both times with Championship winning baskets. I’ve seen him openly claw a helpless Reggie Miller in the face during a playoff game and watch a ref throw Reggie and not MJ out of the game. Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player ever to play the game.

Cool art! I was at the final game in Utah when Jordan made the winning shot over Russel... My cousin and I ran down to courtside for the trophy presentation- as the Bulls were leaving the court, some idiot next to me doused Dennis Rodman with a cup of coke in the face! Quite a fiasco followed...Anyway, you are right... Jordan is da man!!!

Thanks, Patrick! That's cool that you got to witness that historic game in person. Did Rodman go crazy on the guy who threw Coke on him?

Howard... Yeah, it was not a pretty scene. I was actually standing right next to the guy that threw the drink on Rodman- For a split second Rodman thought it was me that had thrown the drink. Fortunately, the guy that actually did it took off running and security tackled him. It was a really stupid thing to do, Rodman was wearing his brand new championship t-shirt and cap, both of which were soaked with coke... It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to be at that game, and I seriously doubt it will happen again soon, as the Utah Jazz can't seem to make anything happen these days...
