If d12 came to chicago, i would bet my prostate the bulls would have at least another 3 titles.

Hating adidas right now.

Edit: found original article V

Jordan's shadow hangs over new NBA season - NBA - Yahoo! Sports

I wouldn't go that far, but they can use more defensive pressure in the paint, Omar Asik is not cutting it for them right now.

But, its interesting how marketing tactics have given way to players not being able to be on the same team. Even more interesting that Derrick Rose and Dwight are both endorsed by Adidas. However, I doubt any other shoe brand is going to be as popular as the Jordans were when they came out. Matter fact they still are. Im sure you heard of the madness that went on for the new Jordans that came out. So even if DH and DR manage to sucessfully launch their sneaker brands, I doubt they would be as popular as the Jordan's have been.

But still sad to see that marketing sneakers has gained priority over player placement in the Nba. It is a bummer, Id like to see DH somewhere other than he is now, and Chicago wouldn't be a bad place to put him as they are lacking a sufficient big man.

Yeah he will be forever missed from the NBA floor, I don't think there will ever be any player like him. Truly one of the greatest players and most humble as well. Also congrats to him as he just got hitched to his Fiance the other day.

His new sneakers seems to be creating a lot of controversy though. Heard it was causing a lot of violence and crime. Crazy--Video: Community Leaders Blame Nike Air Jordan Shoes For Rising Crime: Say Michael Jordan Should Speak Up To Stop Sneaker Violence!

you're kidding right? Jordan is possibly the least humble athlete in the nation.

Def not kidding, when he was playing he never showed any kind of attitude toward other players. After he retired he has kept to himself, you don't hear him bloating "I am a living legend, im the best, no one can ever be as great as me." In fact, he cherished the fact that Lebron wore his jersey number, he said a while back in a interview that hes proud to see the NBA come in with fresh talent such as Melo, Wade, and Lebron.

Furthermore, he is a big contributor to the Make a Wish Foundation, Boys and Girls Club of America, and Special Olympics.

Kind of reminds me of the current Lebron.
