G.O.A.T

Today is a day that will go down in history. Michael Jordan joins basketball's elite in the Hall of Fame. As a Chicago kid, MJ was my first basketball influence besides my dad. No matter what would happen during the day, you could always count on watching Mike dominate whatever team he played against. He has too many achievements to name and his name is known globally. ESPN Classic did tributes to all of the players being enshrined today but Mike's stood out the most. First of all it lasted for about two days (way longer than Stockton and Robinson), and showed his greatest games from college all the way up to his last championship with the Bulls. He's the best. Period point blank. But i noticed the people he had around him when he won championships and I decided to blog about them. Phil goes without mention. We all know what he did for Mike's game, but there were 2 that stood out: Scottie Pippen, Karl Malone, and James Worthy. I am beyond happy for Mike and all he's done for the game of basketball. If you actually sit back and think about how the game would've been if Mike had never shown up, things would be different. No Kobe's, no LeBron's, no Wade's, no dominant guards. Mike has inspired each and every kid who picked up a ball and tried to play the game. Like I said before, Mike is the greatest to ever do it, but today I want to focus on some people that helped him become the player he's known as.
