    More Michael Jordan appreciation. Lately there was a trend NBA social media to dismiss everything in the previous generations because they weren’t as athletic or smooth with their game. I honestly believe it’s a part of cultural Marxism to make light of the past; undervalue it so it’s worth being forgotten. Then once that is complete, one can point to the present as unprecedented and record-breaking.

    However, one cannot dismiss Michael Jordan’s prominence during his career in the NBA. There were too many exploits to diminish. His peers acknowledged the ferocity and competitiveness of his teams. LeBron James, who I currently consider one of the best players in the game (even at 39 at the time of this writing) looked up to Michael Jordan as his model while he was growing up.

    The latest trope is to claim that Jordan was a very one-dimensional player who was just a skilled player of his time instead of a transcendent athlete. This is the motivation behind the claim that Jordan could only finish with his right hand.

    The video convincingly dispels that notion. I hope that you enjoy.

    Today while doing some research I found out that Michael Jordan (who believe is the GOAT of profesional basketball) played his last NBA game with the Washington Wizards. No, it wasn’t with the Chicago Bulls. As a matter of fact, that team didn’t even make the playoffs.

    He was playing professional basketball at the highest level at ages 38-40 while averaging more than 20 ppg. That is nothing short of impressive. This all the more adds to his legacy.

    But I wanted to focus on his shoes. He is the model of the ultimate performance and casual sneaker collection nowadays. (Even several years after his tenure with the Bulls. The Air Jordan 17 and 18 were some dope models. They may not be as hot compared to the earlier models (e.g., 6s and 7s) but they deserve some recognition.

    Here’s a link to a Sole Collector listicle that investigates MJ’s choice of sneakers during his time with the Wizards. Take a read.
