Racist, Fascist, Marxist, Michael Jordan turns 50

50 years old, huh, MJ?  Just to keep you humble, not everything you touch turns to gold, even though you still make $80 million a year and are good enough to make a comeback whenever you please.

MJ could still average double figures at age 50?

Well, it's Michael Jordan's 50th Birthday week and da club is going to be working overtime to pay that racist fuck some tribute.  On Friday night, after the Lakers squeaked out a win in Charlotte, Antwan Jamison told reporters that MJ, who turns 50 on Sunday, could still average 10-11 points off the bench while playing about 15-20 minutes per.  The guy was unreal, but playing at 50 in a young man's game?  That's crazy, right?  I don't think so.  Check out Michael's top 10 below.  A dude with moves like that just doesn't lose everything over night.  In his 15th and final season in the L, he still was averaging 20ppg at age 40.  There are still rumors out of Charlotte, that he laces them up every once in a while and still can't be beaten in a game of one-on-one with active Bobcats' players (I know, that doesn't say much).  Anyway, point is, I don't disagree with Jamison and if anyone is arrogant enough to try a comeback at age 50, MJ's the guy.

Throwback Thursday with Chuck

His Airness... no further explanation needed.

Throwback Thursday with Chuck

In a move that would surely merit 5/5 Paul Pierces on the Paul Pierce Wheelchair Scale (if solely based on participants, time in career, stage), here is the classic crossover of Jordan performed by the one and only A.I. during the 1997 All-Star game.

Bonus video!  Moment still gives me chills.  I really thought the Sixers had a chance.  Surely another 5/5 Paul Pierces.

Oh shit (part 7)

I really don't want to over-use this Paul Pierce wheelchair scale, but if dudes are going to be falling down left and right all season, well, my hands are tied. 

Which takes us to our nations capital, where John Wall has FINALLY been able to start playing.  Great to see him out there and I hope he can get back on track to being one of the best young guards in the League.  He looked pretty great while sending Ish Smith (Ish?  Seriously?) all over the place with a left-handed behind the back dribble.




Left hand, behind the back, defender falling, successful basket, John Wall returning AND a thorough Wizards win?!  This baby is getting the coveted 5 OUT OF 5 PAUL PIERCES.  Congrats Wall, we'll all do a dougie in your honor

 

 

 

UPDATE:  As it turns out, John Wall's crossup was an act of revenge!  Earlier in the game, Ish straight up jumped over John Wall going for a block.  He missed, but he turned around and got his:
 



As previously noted, Wall ended up with the last laugh.
