Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan Complete Identical Plays [Video]
A new series of nearly identical clips by two of the greatest players of all time. This is amazing. And, while it won’t do anything to quell the Michael Jordan vs. Kobe Bryant debate that’s been going on for years now, it will show MJ and Kobe fans just how similar these two played on the basketball court over the years. We’d also like to point out that the guy who edited this clip together deserves some sort of award. He must have spent entire days of his life watching clips of both guys just to find the nearly identical plays that you see here. Very well done. [source]

This is Where it Starts: Jordan Commercial
This Jordan commercial features two opposing international forces training their whole lives then meeting where it all matters, The 20– Olympics. A cool homage to the role the original Dream Team played in introducing basketball to the world on an international spectrum. Except by the time this commercial actually takes place it will be China vs China Jr. And so without further ado, another really rad Nike-esq commercial to get your day started.

Michael Jordan “The Legend” Was Born 30 Years Ago Today [10 Photos]
On this day 30 years ago a star was born. 19 year-old Freshman guard, Michael Jordan hit the go ahead and eventual game winning shot to beat a dominant Georgetown team led by future fellow Dream Teamer Patrick Ewing to win the 1982 NCAA Championship. Interesting fact: If you look closely you see Jordan wearing a pair of baby blue Converse shoes. They were the shoe sponsor for UNC at the time, little did everyone know that Jordan would help lead Nike to become one of the most well-known companies on Earth. Here is an excerpt from a 1982 recap in Sports Illustrated: Jordan, as ice-bucket cool as a 6’5″ freshman could be, had already contributed six baskets and nine rebounds. Now with 18 seconds to go, Jordan caught Black’s pass in front of the Carolina bench. He was all alone. It was a play designed for him. He was right where he had imagined he would be on the bus ride over from the hotel, with the ball—and the game—in his hands. “I didn’t see it go in,” he said. “I didn’t look at the ball at all. I just prayed.” String music, choir. Watch the video – skip to 1:35
