Jordan and the East all stars trashing a 19 year old Kobe, Michael gambling with security guards at the United Center, Jordan, Scottie, and Ron Harper drinking beer in designer suits after a game... It also really reinforces how much I miss 80s and 90s basketball. The players weren't all friends. It was physical. There was more diversity in offense. My other big takeaway is our Michael Jordan outta Ohio State needs to go by Mike or his middle name or something.... He doesn't deserve it. Same went for that Dolphins running back named Kareem Abdul-Jabbar back in the day ... GTFOH with that.

Pretty sure the guy didn't name himself.  And he probably does go by Mike to his friends.  And I'd be willing to bet there are thousands and thousands of Michael Jordans walking around this country who have probably not earned it in the strictest sense either but they have no choice but go on with their lives.  And I'd further be willing to say that being named after a legend is probably no picnic.
