and I probably over-exaggerate or Roger Clemens' misremember it...

but my God...I remember at SEVEN YEARS OLD the Portland game. I do. The 6 threes...it was fascinating. Truly heroic. I was sold then and there. At 7. Couldn't believe what I was seeing.

and then when memories truly started being memories it was always MJ. I spent entire summers with my mom so every NBA Finals was with mom and stepdad...HUGE BULLS FANS...

I remember them all...the shot in Phoenix...MJ scored the last 14 points before Paxson nails "the shot" and played PERFECT basketball against a GREAT Suns team...he single-handedly willed them to be able to be in that situation...32 seconds...Bulls down 4...what does MJ do? Takes the in bounds..makes a move...gets RIGHT TO THE HOOP...lay up..3 seconds...his basketball IQ was off the charts.

1998...my little brother was born on 1/7/97...he's a baby. MJ's MOMENT. Against Utah. 1998 where Pippen is DEAD and Rodman is washed up...Utah is the vastly superior team. What does MJ do? He knows game 6 is do or die...lose game 6 and lose the Finals. What does he do? He uses every ounce of his energy and wins game 6 by himself. All MJ. There was nothing Utah could do. Utah up two...MJ scores...tied...drive down...pick and roll to Malone...MJ leaves his man...steals the ball from Malone...the rest is history. When he made the shot our living room all jumped from the couch in unison. We had seen it before...Kerr, Paxson...MJ. It was always MJ. When the game was on the line...everyone knew what was going to happen. And no other athlete can ever claim that...that was MJ. When he had the ball in his hands, in an important game, everyone knew what the outcome was going to be. There was no hope from the opposition...just a "great, here it comes"...

and that's why MJ was the best. And will always be the best.

after the 98 game I went into my baby brother's room (less than a year) and I felt bad because I knew he'd never get to experience what I got to experience from 7-13...

he's not a diehard sports fan like me...not even close. I can thank MJ (and Derrick Thomas) for that...my childhood was all sports, all the time. I used to spend hours on the driveway pretending I was a teammate of MJ and Pippen and just dreaming for the stars...

I was working out and watching SportsNation top 50 MJ moments and I was pumped...just remembering all of the great moments and my childhood and everything...easiest workout I've ever had...

I miss MJ. Nothing compares anymore. Until we get that Chiefs Super Bowl...then maybe I'll remember how it feels.
