Jesus I haven't cried that hard since the last time I watched Man on Fire drunk. And that was just his stint with the Wizards! I don't think there is any athlete, scratch that any person, in the history of the world that so many people have loved. The only people that didn't love Mike were Jeff Hornacek and Dan Majerle. It's mind numbing that there is even a debate over who is the greatest/will be the greatest between LeBroke and Mike. Flat out embarrassing that we had to wait until LeBrick's epic collapse in this year's finals to settle that, never should have been a question. Some guy could come in and score 100 points a game for 10 seasons, win 10 championships, and I will still look you straight in the eye and tell you Mike was the best. I don't care if that guy dropping 100 a night is my own son, I'll put that little fucker in his place so fast your head will spin. And I love that he did it in an era where I was able to see it, because old people love telling you about Babe Ruth, or Jim Brown, or The Beatles and claim that they got to see the best and no one will ever touch them. Well we have Jordan and I'll rubbing that shit in kids faces like you read about for the rest of my life.
gave me chills
