I was about to get mad that ain't nobody posted this yet. Early in the article but dope start with the story about giving Larry Hughes a bentley.
This is a dope article. Wow.
That story about Mike before the All Star Game
Here’s my best Mike story — it’s not much, but it doesn’t have to be. So it’s 2003, and we’re all in The A for his last All-Star Game. And you know I’m Reebok for life….. but occasions are occasions. And I’m wanting to pay my tribute to the man. Pay homage. So I find one of those classic MJ throwbacks, then bring it home and cut out the little swoosh on it, and then I rock it — plus a Bulls fitted — on my way into the arena for All Star. And I’m proud as hell. So now I just have to find Mike.
I go into the front of the locker room. “Any of y’all seen Mike?” Nothing.
Go into another section of the locker room. “Any of y’all seen Mike?” Nothing.
Another section. “Mike?” Nothing.
Then finally I make my way to the coaches’ office. Figure they’d have to know where the man is. Open the door…….
But there’s no coaches in there.
It’s just Mike.
t’s just Mike, and man….. you wouldn’t even believe this. You wouldn’t even believe what I’m seeing. It’s Mike, and he’s got his uniform on……. and he’s in one of those reclining desk chairs, leaning back in that thing like he doesn’t have a CARE in the WORLD. In the world. Got his feet kicked up like he’s on some beach! And then to top it all off?? He’s smoking one of those big-ass Mike cigars.
And he just looks at me — looks over my fit for a second — and he smiles.
Nods.
And then he goes right on back to puffing that cigar.
ARE YOU SERIOUS!! Man, I think I’m a cool guy. I’m alright. But Mike is the only person I ever — I mean ever — met who can be so effortless in his cool that he leaves this…. GLOW. It’s almost like I’ll remember the details about that moment and then I’ll get worked up from remembering it, just thinking about how cool that man is, you know what I’m saying?? I mean, he….. Y’all! Y’ALL. He’s smoking a CIGAR, with his UNIFORM on…… before the NBA ALL-STAR GAME. And man, he’s in the COACHES’ OFFICE. He’s in the coaches’ office. You’re smoking your big-ass cigar in the coaches’ office, in your damn uniform, with your feet kicked up like it’s nothing, before your very last All-Star Game?? Man — you run everything. You run EV-ER-Y-THING!!
Y’all I’m begging you, just stay humble on this one, and don’t question it. PLEASE.
Not when it comes to Black Jesus, that man, walking among us.
Not when it comes to Mike being the GOAT.

Excellent article man, thanks for bringing it to my attention.
So many points in the article had my heart fluttering. The part about the daughter wanting the sweats cause their name was on it. and that ending about not running out of gas because he isn't finished yet
Always will be my personal goat

My fav player of all the time
my first favorite player after MJ.
my last favorite player before DWade.
AI a legend
Damn just off the strength of the first story with the Bentley, I knew this was gonna be good.
I’m happy that getting older has matured AI into the legend we have today. He has a lot of gems that these current players can/should listen to on and off the court.
He will always be my GOAT
