MJ: Our Hero

The 90's were a tough time on America. Bill Clinton was president, Desert Storm happened in the early 90's, and Nirvana was popular (those were dark and terrible days). This blogger, upon looking back into the past was confused about how American's came out alive and kicking into the glorious 21st Century. I have finally found The Answer, hence my name. Not Allen Iverson, who happens to be called The Answer. But The Answer. Only one person could have saved us from those dark and terrible days of baggy suits and bad haircuts. Only one man, one glorious wonderful, athletic, competitive, and slightly douche man. That man is Michael Jordan. MJ. His Airiness.

 

It is this man. No, not man. This Hero is the being whom we should recognize as saving us from the horrors of the late 80's and 90's. Just look at what he accomplished: Six-time NBA champion (1991-93, 1996-98); MVP (1988, '91, '92, '96, '98); 10-time All-NBA First Team (1987-93, 1996-98); All-NBA Second Team (1985); Defensive Player of the Year (1988); Nine-time All-Defensive First Team (1988-93, 1996-98); Rookie of the Year (1985); 14-time All-Star; All-Star MVP (1988, '96, '98); One of 50 Greatest Players in NBA History ('96); Olympic gold medalist (1984, '92). That's not even bringing up his all time scoring numbers (4th highest scorer in NBA History, highest scoring average in NBA History). Jordan had one purpose in his whole life. He was put on God's Green Earth for one very important reason. Michael Jordan was born to ball. And he inspired countless others to ball as well. In a very important way, Jordan was the first baller. In a generation where no one could ball, one finally did. And for that, we all owe Jordan our praise. Hail Jordan.
