to just say thank you is not saying enough.
is it the shoes?
no.
its the man who filled them and what he meant to the little kid in all of us.
we didnt just buy his shoes because they were fashionable, we did it because in our minds that was the closest we would ever come to utter greatness.
my memories?
1. repeatedly watching all of my michael jordan cbs/video vhs tapes to the point of wearing them out.
2. recording everything possible from 1987-1994.
3. buying lots of jordans (before EVERYONE did)
4. the late 80's battles against the pistons (classic jordan).
5. seeing every game the bulls played at the spectrum from 86- 92 (many historical games).
6. enjoying everyminute of it....
"did you ever know you were my hero. everything i wish i could be. i could fly higher than an eagle. you are the wind beneath my wings."
bette midler (wind beneath my wings)
for much of my young life when i heard this lyric, i thought of michael jordan. now as an adult, and now michael is finished playing, i understand his impact on my life.
in the sneaker game, hindsight is 20/20 and we're all millionaires.
thanks for your continued support of niketalk.
