MICHAEL JORDAN : I WAS SITTING DOWN WATCHING TV BACK IN 1982, WE HAD JUST FINISHED OUR MILITARY TRAINING UP IN THE GEORGIA MOUNTAINS. I THINK IT WAS GEORGETOWN VS NORTH CAROLINA , AND THERE HE WAS THIS YOUNG MAN NAMED MICHAEL, HE WAS ALL OVER THE COURT, WHO WOULD HAVE KNOWN THE TRUE CHAOS THIS ONE MAN WOULD BRING TO THE NBA. IN 1987-88 I SAW A HOMELESS MAN IN ATLANTA WITH SOME NICE LOOKING SHOES ON WITH SOME FUNKY LOOKING PRINT ON THEM, I ASKED HIM WHAT KIND OF SHOES HE HAD ON, HE SAID THAT THEY WHERE THE NEW JORDAN"S , AND THEY COST A HUNDRED DOLLARS, I TOLD HIM THAT I WEAR ONLY REEBOK AND $60. 00 IS THE MOST THAT I WOULD PAY FOR SHOES. TWO WEEKS LATER I WAS WALKING IN THE MALL AND I SAW THAT SHOE AGAIN I WENT IN THE STORE AND TRYED IT ON, THEY LOOK GOOD THEY FEEL GOOD,BUT DO I WANT TO GIVE UP $100.00 , I DID AND THE REST IS HISTORYTHIS IS THE MAN THAT SAVED THE NBA IN THE 90's WE WILL MISS YOU TRULY ABSOLUTELY THE GREATEST PLAYER FROM A 46 YEAR OLD MAN TO A 40 YEAR OLD, YOU ARE AMAZING, YOU SHOWED THE HATERS,MAYBE ONE DAY WE WILL CROSS PATHS,MY GOD SHINE ON YOU
