MJ was presented with the nation’s highest civilian award along with several others at a private White House ceremony this past weekend. Check it out.
Michael Jordan is not a guy who easily gives out praise to other NBA players whether past or present, so when he goes out of his way to show nothing but love and respect for Russell Westbrook, you know it’s sincere. MJ praised Russ for his loyalty as he helped induct him into the Oklahoma Hall Of Fame last night in Oklahoma City. He even managed to take a very slight jab at Kevin Durant as well as joke that Russ could’ve left the Thunder for the Charlotte Hornets.
There’s been a lot of talk about LeBron James and “Space Jam 2,” but here’s your chance to watch the original movie in theaters one more time. Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny are returning to the big screen for the 20th anniversary of the 1996 cult classic.
After Kevin Durant was inducted into the Oklahoma hall of fame last year, it was widely assumed he would be back this year to present Russell Westbrook. He even mentioned last year that “hopefully we’ll be here next year for Russell Westbrook’s induction.” Obviously he is no longer in position to take part in something special for Russ and Oklahoma but I think Russ will be pretty happy with the person they found to present him instead, Michael Jordan.
LeBron James has always been compared to Michael Jordan, but when he told Sports Illustrated “my motivation is this ghost I’m chasing. The ghost played in Chicago“, he raised quite a few eyebrows. In an interview with the AP during the Cleveland Cavaliers media day, James once against talked about his childhood idol and his personal goal to be the best.
