I wanna be like Mike

Today, Michael Jordan turned 46 years old. #23 is now 23 times two. So how should we celebrate? MJ’s too old for cake and too rich for presents, so instead I got him what every aging person wants…a scrapbook to remember their youth. Here are a few YouTube videos that should have the birthday boy- and all his followers- smiling and hopefully wishing for more highlights like this to come for the Bulls.


His latest TV ad, which describes several qualities that MJ had and many of today’s NBA players lack.




It’s not #1, but this ranks among MJ’s three greatest all-time individual performances. The amazing part about this game is, he basically didn’t do anything in the second half and still re-wrote the record books.



Another of his top three games, this one shows his all-around arsenal. If you think this is impressive, try doing something every day for about a month, get really good at it, then take two weeks off and try it again. You’ll notice it takes you a long while to make the adjustment in getting back to your previous skill level. Then remember MJ sat out for 18 months, and this was only his fifth game back. Amazing.




And because he’s now 46, here is MJ’s best ever game in which he scored 46 points.
