Michael Jordan HOF induction incoming

[Dimmauk]

Ok, you're cool. Robinson WAS a really great guy, too. I probably won't change the channel during his speech.

Well it was kinda an easy question, since I'm from San Antonio. LOL

[Dimmauk]

Was that a Speed reference?

Also it was a pleasure to actually see Jordan play live. His knowledge of the game along with his athleticism are unmatched and probably never will be. Off the court is a different story, but his accomplishments on the court speak for themselves.

I must say that this HOF class is amazing. You never really appreciate the moment until you take a step back and remember watching all of these guys play with, and against each other. Stockton had an unbelievable eye for the game, Barkley a tremendous competitor and Robinson should be the posterchild for the NBA. You really can't say enought about the integrity of David Robinson.

The thing I remember the most about Stockton was his tenacity.

i got to see jordan twice, once when he was pwning the bullets in the playoffs and once when he was a wizard (lol), so amazing to see both times

[Tagus]

I think I'll wear my 45 jersey today. My dad's from Chicago, and we've made trips up there to see him play when I was much younger. Probably six or seven times. It's a god damned shame that even at 12 years old, I didn't realize the greatness I was watching.

I don't know if anybody appreciated it enough at the time, especially growing up during those years. Jordan was the best player to ever exist, the Bulls never lost, and the sky was blue. Who knew that it wouldn't last forever when they were 12.

Well... you know. Except for the sky being blue. The phone rang before I had a chance to put that idea together very well.

[Priran]

is it racist that I read "induction" as "indictment"

[Kiro]

I hated Jordan for so long after the Bulls beat the Sonics back in the '96 Finals.

[Neoscrilla]

I like Stockton and all, but he reminds me of Karl Malone, who I hated with a passion. Nothing like barely being able to dunk a ball cuz you have a 2 inch vertical jump. >.>

Back on topic: I agree that Jordan should have had his own ceremony because you cant really put anyone comparable to him up there, lol

[Deejay]

MJ shouldn't get his own booth in the basketball hall if fame, he deserves his own wing.

^ This. It was a great series though.

Like most I wish I could've been of age to realize what I was watching exactly. I knew he was good, I knew he was the best, I just didn't know why exactly. Still didn't stop me from wearing his jersey, asking for his shoes one year for my birthday, and from seeing Space Jam on opening night. I mostly remember him in the Finals against the Jazz, those were some great games.

Can't wait till it's this guy' turn

Watching Jordan's highlights reminds me of how much Kobe is Jordan wannabe.

[Deejay]

lol'd

[MrW]

I can't wait till Pooh Richardson Ed O'Bannon and Rod Strickland get in!

Maybe if some players on the Spurs were Jordan wannabes they'd make it passed the first round.

i kid i kid lol

Warning: cheesy as fuck.

I'll always remember this video, I must have watched it a thousand times. It was just a general NBA stars clip, the only other person I remember for sure being on it was Dominique Wilkins, but I'm pretty sure like Bird and Magic and Isaiah, etc. were all on it.

Anyway, the whole video was rock and stuff, except Jordan's part. I'll always like this cheesy ass song, and always think of the video whenever I hear it, just cuz of this. It's just kinda funny, because it was totally out of place for the video, but, really, there's no better way to describe watching him play (especially in playoffs).


The end part is just amazing, we could have all-star dunk contests every day for 1000 years, nobody will ever do it like Jordan did.

That last dunk in Plow's vid is just amazing. Were the jets really necessary? lol

[Tyche]

I never understood why the NBA logo wasn't a profile from the dunk at 2:45-2:53.

It's because Jerry West bribes the league to never, ever change it as long as he's alive...

Necessary? Prob not. But I was like 6 at the time so...

Awesome? Fuck yeah!
