The legend of Michael Jordan starts way back on his dirt driveway.  Back then he was getting spanked by his older, bigger, brother almost everyday on their dirt court.  His brother, Larry, is as much a part of the legend of MJ as anything else.  It’s hard to picture Michael getting beaten consistently (or at [...]

Ricky over at Tremendous Upside Potential stumbled on this the other day.  Apparently some guy is making youtube videos of all of Michael Jordan’s greatest moments recreated on NBA 2K10.  Check this one out, then go over to the youtube page and watch the rest (if you’re unemployed or trying to get fired of course).

I know it seems crazy to imagine, but once upon a time, Jordan was not the polished superstar billionaire we see today.  This picture is apparently a photo of a very young MJ dancing around with an umbrella in what loooks to be a dorm room (maybe his?).  Enjoy!

I know we did an entire tribute to Jordan at the end of last week and you are probably all sick of him, but somehow throughout the whole induction ceremony I didn’t catch this Cuban model hanging off MJ’s arm.  She is a looker (and most likely a gold-digger).  Here’s what the Tribune had to [...]

Michael Jordan gave a great speech on Friday at his induction ceremony.  He named all the people that drove him to succeed, whether it was by placing obstacles in his path to motivate him, of by supporting him as he rose to the top.  In my opinion, the speech was a home run, and some [...]

The final video of the day will not be an on-court clip. I decided to go with a commercial. Although we all love the McDonalds game of HORSE commercial with Larry Bird, and of course the Gatorade “Be Like Mike” commercial, his Nike failure commercial always struck me on a deeper level. [...]

Although it wouldn’t be the last of Michael Jordan in the NBA, it would be the last of him as a Bull.  The image will be burned in our brains forever.

After MJ retired from basketball, he spent a couple years trying his hand at baseball. Whether it was his lack of success in the minors or just an itch to address unfinished business, he decided to come back against the Pacers towards the end of the 1994-1995 NBA season. It wasn’t until he [...]

The 1993 NBA Finals were no cakewalk.  In fact, the Suns had a better regular season record than the Bulls that year, Barkley had won the MVP, and many experts were picking the Suns to win.  We all know what happened next, as the Bulls won in 6.  But before the series started nothing was [...]

One of the most famous clips of Jordan’s career is “the move” over the Lakers in Game 2 of the 1991 NBA Finals. This was Jordan’s first real shot at a title, and he wasn’t about to blow it. While most people remember the move, they don’t remember that it was his 13th [...]

Arguably the defining shot of Jordan’s career, this game-winner over Ehlo put the Bulls on the map in the Eastern Conference.  Although it would be a couple years until the Bulls could overcome the dirty Pistons, this moment signified the arrival of Jordan and his Bulls as a force in the East, as opposed to [...]

In a ridiculously stacked rookie class, Jordan outshined his competition with his spectacular displays of athleticism.  It’s almost funny to see a slightly unpolished Jordan at 22 years old.  We all see him as the smooth, confident man who has wowed us in so many ways, but this was before all that, when he was [...]

As most of you know by now, Michael Jordan is being inducted into the Hall of Fame today.  Yesterday, I discussed how Jordan was not only the greatest of all time, but that he redefined what greatest of all time even meant.  Today, we will be posting video tributes to him all day.
This first one, [...]

G.O.A.T.  It’s a term that gets thrown around now and then, but what does it really mean?  How can anyone measure something like “The Greatest of all Time”?  With the induction of Michael Jordan into the Basketball Hall of Fame, the question arises again.  Jordan revolutionized his position, the role of the guard, the game [...]
