Greg is playing hard, he is playing, of course, you have to play as hard as you can like MJ, of course, it's open. At night, my mom at home watched the kids watching everyone watching, so they got into a little fight. Mj goes to the free throw line and looks at Greg and says he should make you take off my shoes. I looked down, I didn't even do it.
I noticed, I looked down and he got the Jordan zone, so I was like, oh man, it's my first game. I said this is what I had to wait for. You learned a valuable lesson, although well, I obviously didn't tell you much. mj the rest of the night I didn't want to be on that reel so that was my welcome to the league although it wasn't much thank god yeah we lost the first game because we were so nervous but the second game I played. Plus, I could play and Michael outplayed me. It was probably the first time in my life that I felt like there was a better basketball player in the world than me.
To be honest, we were playing the Chicago Bulls and this is Michael. Jordan's third or fourth year is fine and we're playing the next exhibition game in some obscure place and most veterans don't like playing in exhibition games, they want to get to the real thing. I'm an energetic, wide-eyed rookie and we're playing this exhibition game and Michael is making the move and he throws at the person who's on my team, who's also talking trash and saying, Can you believe Michael Jordan, the guy from the that everyone talks and he's supposed to be able to walk on water?

I'm talking about all this and he's fine until the end of the game, in the second half he finished with 44. and I finished with 12. So he outscored me 40 to 2. And as he walks away he says to me: "Be sure and be careful, "Don't ever talk to black Jesus like that.
Okay, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Black Jesus story I think sums it all up." Well, he's playing in Chicago in Salt Lake, they switched and put John Stockton on and he turned around and dunked, don't stalk them, so this guy got up and almost followed him down the sideline and said, Hey, Jordan, mess with someone in your The next time he went down to the ground he dipped into the turkey in the mail and the widow looked at the guy and said if he was big enough.

He scored a three and is looking at me, so he went down again. He hit another three, so the best shot now that I've been involved in the first three. Dr. J went airborne out of bounds, oh yeah, reverse layup under righty Michael Jordan. in 1991 he came down on us with his right hand with his tongue out, he's changing in the air to the left pointing at the glass now this is the best shot I see, he came down the right side, he took off, David Robinson went and said : "Okay, Im going". Sitting here in the air because I know David Robinson is going to go down, so Dave Robertson got on the ground, moved his tongue 360 ​​and dunked it 360 in a practice game and I thought, "Oh my God, I was stunned and everything." ".
We were all stunned to see him suspended in the air for so long and 360. Michael Jordan is so incredible that they will never be the world of tomorrow. You shouldn't talk trash to Michael Jordan. Yes, thank you 360. You mean he was full like that. the way
