Michael Jordan Saves Miami... Again.

Ok, in the last post I said Mike saved Miami, now I know he didn't really save Miami from the riots, but Michael Jordan coming to town back in the late 80's and early 90's was a big deal. MJ coming to Miami really helped get the area around the Miami Arena cleaned up after 3 days of rioting.

Fast forward to 1992 and here's Mike again in Miami in the aftermath of the notorious category 5 Hurricane Andrew.

If your from Miami like I am then you already know how bad that storm was.



The Miami Heat partnered up with the Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan for a "We Will Rebuild" game to help raise money for the recovery fund for the victims of Hurricane Andrew.

Aside from the brief MJ clip, the video below also highlights Miami Heat rookie Harold Miner aka "Baby Jordan's" first Slam Dunk Championship.



But the best part of this video is a crazy ass playoff game fight between the Heat and Hawks up in Atlanta...

Askins and Edwards both connect with a clean punch to each others face at the 4:01 mark.

Enjoy-
