#23 is Back in #45 Space Jams
Here is the game Mike rocked the Space Jams for the first time.
It was game 4 of the 1995 NBA Playoffs.
Ahmad Rashad is doing the court side reporting in Mike's old Concord XI's...
Great footage.
Enjoy-
In Game 3 Mike rocked the Penny's...
Check it:
In Game 2 Mike rocked the concords and switched from the #45 jersey back to his original #23.
Check it:
Game 1 was the last time Mike would ever rock the #45 jersey...
And it was a horrible ending for Mike and the Bulls.

Michael Jordan vs. Len Bias 1984
This was a vintage North Carolina vs. Maryland matchup...
Len Bias had a great first half scoring 16 points. Finished with 24pts and 4rbs.
Jordan scored 21 and he was a monster on the boards with 12 rebounds. He also had 2 blocks and 4 steals.
He came up with all the big points, rebounds and the steal at the end of the game.
And of course, he has his famous windmill dunk at the buzzer.

"Passing the Torch"
With a tap on the shoulder, Michael Jordan gave Dwyane Wade his approval and the go ahead to represent the Brand.
Earlier this week the Air Jordan 2010 was officially unveiled at a media summit in Miami, but just a few minutes ago, Dwyane Wade gave the world a preview via twitter at his own version of the Air Jordan 2010 in an all black colorup with his name stamped instead of Jordan.
Different from how Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul have represented the brand, Michael Jordan announced that he is officially “passing the torch” to Dwyane Wade. Wade spent six years with Converse, but after years of asking to join Team Jordan, he is not only on the squad, but is the captain.
Thank NiceKicks for the info.

Who is LaBradford Smith? Part 2
In September of '08 I posted a story about ex-NBA player named LaBradford Smith...
In short the story was about how Jordan was guarding Smith and he managed to drop 37 points on Mike.
Jordan made up some story about how Smith was trash talking after the game just to motivtate himself and his teammates to return the favor when the two teams played again later that week.
Mike dropped 36 in the first half and had 47 by the end of the 3rd, Mike sat out the 4th and the Bulls won by 25.
The reason I bring all of this up again is due to a crazy comment left on the blog over the weekend by one of Smiths angry ex-girlfriends on the original post.
Check out the reply to "Who Is LaBradford Smith":
"I know alot about LaBradford Smith. I 'dated' him for 4 years 1998-2001. During this time he was having financial problems(because no NBA team would pick him up) and marital problems. Yes, he was married and claimed for years to be working on divorce. I lived at his house in New Territory in Houston, so I believed him. In 2000 I filed for bankruptcy to the tune of $38000.00 which he racked up in credit card debt in my name. He promised me for years he would "never leave me with this debt". A year later I had another woman call me from Baltimore and I heard a repeat of my story and time with LA. At this time she was trying to sue him and his wife Erika was divorcing him. This is the LA that everyone needs to know about. So, does anyone know where he is and what he is doing at this time-Nov 2009!?? Drew Mitchell-Houston 713-514-7665."
Pretty crazy...
Here's the original post titled "Who Is LaBradford Smith"
Enjoy-
Has anyone ever heard of a former Washington Bullets player named LaBradford Smith?
Well enjoy this story involving Jordan and Smith which is both hilarious and illustrative of the almost fanatical will to win from Jordan.
During the 1993 season, the Bulls were playing against the Bullets and Mike was guarding a little known player named LaBradford Smith. This young upstart managed to drop 37 on Jordan and one could easily assume that His Airness was taking a night off defensively because he was a monster at stopping opposing players. Or, maybe Smith was just greater than Jordan, depends how you want to look at it.
The game is close and the Bulls won, but Jordan is furious that Smith had the temerity to embarrass the greatest like that. Even the win wasn’t enough to appease Jordan’s fury, and by a quirk of the scheduling the two teams would meet again the next night!
After the game MJ vowed to teammates that he was going to get back all 37 points Smith dropped on him by the first half!
Adding a further flapping red cape in front of the angry Bull, Jordan claimed that Smith also taunted him after his seminal performance with the words: “Nice game, Mike.” Telling all who would listen that LaBradford trashed him.
Everybody believed Jordan, the Bullets and Bulls players, while Smith never denied the fact that he taunted him. The legend grew with Washington players passing on the tale at how LaBradford zinged the greatest basketball player of all time.
So, the scene was set the next night when the two combatants would face each other again and Jordan was almost true to his word – he ‘only’ scored 36 points in the first half, with a jumper rimming out as the second quarter came to an end.
Want to know the best part of this tale? Are you ready for the twist at the end of the story? Jordan made up the fact that Smith had trashed him, in fact Smith never said a word, but MJ needed further inspiration to school LaBradford so told everyone that he was disrespected. Amazing.
Here's the video of Mike lighting up Smith for 36 in the first half.

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-
PS...
The blog just hit 300,000 views 2 years to the day of our first post back in 2007.
To all the readers that keep coming back and to everyone that has copped a LIKE MIKE shirts over the last 2 years...
Thank you for your support!
