These people has accomplished a lot in their careers. One holds the NBA record for most assist and steals and a two-time Gold Medalist, one is an NBA MVP and 1990 ROY, one holds the record for coaching the same team longer than anyone, one holds the best coaching record in woman's basketball history and one is the greatest player ever lived with 5 NBA MVP's, 6 Championship rings as well as being the most recognizable athlete.
For me, it was about time Michael Jordan get in. But like he said, he didn't like being up there because it means it is all over. It's true, we still wish people like him never get older so that we can watch him forever playing basketball. Then again, when you deserve to be there and it is your time, then people want to see you there. I really thought he was going to be in last year but this year's class is amazing. Like so amazing, imagine the three in the same team as well as having two great coaches lol, told you it's crazy. I am not going to front, I am too young to be talking about Michael Jordan like I grew up watching him.
Trust me, I don't remember watching that Cleveland game and that infamous pump, that Lakers game where he switched hands, the Slam Dunk contests where he battled with Dominique Wilkins, jumped from the freethrow line and stuck out his tounge, the the 3-point shot over Cliff Robinson and the shrug. Heck, I don't even remember the original Bulls team that won the '91-93 Championships. All I remember really is the team that consists of Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Steve Kerr, Luc Longley, Toni Kukoc, Ron Harper, Bill Wennington just to name a few from the top of my head (I remember them so good, I still remember their jersey numbers). As well as that rivalry with the Utah Jazz with Karl Malone, John Stockton, Jeff Hornacek, Greg Ostertag, Byron Russell, Antoine Carr again just to name a few from the top of my head.
The only thing I actually seen on TV is that 1998 Finals shot when Byron Russell slipped or I guess got crossed to win Game 6. See, I am that young.
videos..
The Shot - the Cleveland game
the mid-air switch hand lay-up against the Lakers
the Blazers game aka The Shrug
the 1998 Finals game over Russell
I remember this thing we would do when we were kids, my cousins and I will play basketball and act like we are the Big Three. I am talking about Rodman, Pippen and Jordan. I was actually Rodman and I have "The Worm" poster to prove it. laugh out loud
Anyways, I've always admired the guy even with err let's just say not enough times to watch him play . Leading a team to 72 wins in a season, and there are 82 games in a season, 50-plus point games or even 60, that infamous flu game when he played even though he was really sick and other things I don't even want to Google. You can't really say enough good things about this man right here. He is the epitome of hard work, leadership, pretty much that never say never attitude. You've heard about his trash talking, his attitude of calling out and making fun of his teammates but that's it. This guy may not have as good looking shot as Kobe Bryant, hops like LeBron James, quickness as Dwayne Wade but this guy did it all. So whoever keeps saying Kobe/LeBron > Jordan is blah in my books. If you don't know greatness when you see it, then please, just stick to your LeBron highlights and Kobe's 81-point game.
Besides, who didn't want to Be Like Mike?
Again, I salute this great Class of 2009. Who's next? Pippen, Mullin, who else?
