In not so stunning news today, Michael Jordan was elected to the basketball Hall of Fame. Jordan was joined by fellow legendary players John Stockton & David Robinson.
This was the I grew up in. Jordan/Pippen versus the likes of Stockton/Malone, Robinson/Elliott or the end of the Magic/Worthy era. That was basketballs Hay-Day in my mind. of course, I'm sure I'm biased. I grew up in Chicago in the nineties. I grew up watching Michael Jordan and assumed that was how basketball was always played. Admittedly, I miss that era of basketball. But Kobe, Lebron & D-Wade are great and I think the future of the NBA is pretty bright.
I have fond memories of going to games in the old Chicago stadium and getting goose-bumps when they'd turn out the lights and announce the starting line ups.
I know MJ has had a few issues since retiring, but he's still easily my favorite player. I know this certainly isn't a shock that he was elected into the Hall of Fame, but I'm still really happy for him.
Congrats MJ!
