    Highlights from Michael Jordan’s 1st Championship Season

    What’s the most fun way to exercise?

    This answer may be based on the fact that I play basketball a lot but a good challenging game of 5 on 5 is a great workout. There’s nothing like jumping, cutting, shooting, shuffling, running, and sprinting, etc., all to put an orange ball through a hoop. I always tend to loose like 1 or 2 lbs from the cardio that I get from several games. Not that losing weight is a great metric of fitness but, man, it is a thrill and sometimes an exhausting feeling.

    Enjoy this video from Michael Jordan’s first MVP in the 1987-1988 season.

    What Olympic sports do you enjoy watching the most?

    It would have to basketball, specifically American basketball. I grew up in the age where they started allowing NBA players to participate in the Olympics, starting with the Dream Team in 1992.

    I’m American, so I like to watch the sports that Americans dominate in. Let’s add track and field to this category.

  • Magic and Yinka

    Magic Johnson Mix by Yinka Dare

    Yinka Dare was the OG highlight mixer 20 years even before YouTube existed. I discovered him when I was college.

    Video editing software has changed so much since then. It feels like I’m watching black and white footage.

  • Buckets in 1984

    This is a dope video featuring all the made baskets during the 1984 NBA All Star Game and set to a decent soundtrack.  Give it a watch when you have time.

  • More Magic Johnson

    (31pts/8rebs/17asts) vs. Spurs (1983 Playoffs)

    I am just now recognizing how good this guy was in his prime. Don’t get me wrong, I believe that Michael Jordan is GOAT but I can understand why people considered Magic that before MJ ascended into his prime.

    Plus, it’s my blog. I post what I want.

  • More Magic

  • Magic vs MJ

    I’m really starting like this guy Magic. I didn’t realize how good and transcendent of a basketball player he was.

    I still think that Michael Jordan is the GOAT until someone dethrones him.

    This clip is from the 1988 – ’89 season where Magic and the Lakers were the defending champs and MJ was coming off a stellar year by winning his first MVP and DPOY award.
