The Chicago Bulls’ Michael Jordan’s three-point explosion in Game 1 of the 1992 NBA Finals against Portland is easily one of the greatest performances I’ve ever seen.

Kobe was hell-bent on surpassing Jordan as the greatest player in the game. His obsession with Michael was striking.

You gotta bring back a ball, a hat or something. You can't just give away that sh*t for free.'

There are some rappers out there that I listen to, that I'm like: "You are really good but you could be like the Michael Jordan of rap if you applied yourself." There's a lot of people who are better at basketball than Michael Jordan, but Michael Jordan just wanted to be Michael Jordan, more.
