Michael Jordan Meets and Greets UNC and Duke Players in Charlotte

All, College Basketball, Michael Jordan, Video Ty Duffy March 21st. 2011, 2:00pm

Michael Jordan held court with both UNC and Duke players and coaches at the NCAA Tournament in Charlotte, promising the Tar Heels “get to the Final Four, you get anything you want,” presumably the team getting his latest sneakers. Odds he still thinks he could step out on the court and take them: Even. Odds his handlers had to talk him down from trying to do so: 2-1. [Video via WRAL5]

This wouldn’t even be on the board. There is a 100% chance he thinks he can.
/He is probably right

“get to the Final Four, you get anything you want”
Delving into Ed Martin territory a little bit there
He also should be giving Roy Williams fashion advice, that shirt and tie combo yesterday would make Craig Sager grimace

MJ is getting a little chunky. Still take him over Keith Bogans right now. Also, somehow I think this is going to get blown out of proportion and both teams will get sanctioned for talking with MJ.

“get to the Final Four, you get anything you want,”
“No. Each you fifteen dollar. Me love you long time. Me so horny.”
“Fifteen dollar too beaucoup. Five dollars each.”
“Me sucky-sucky. Me love you too much.”
“Five dollars is all my mom allows me to spend.”
“Ten dollar then.”
“What do I get for ten?”
“I give you ev’ryting.”
“Everything?”
“Ev’ryting you want.”

Just a little blood, I guess his nose is ok. Gash right above his left eye though, might have to stitch that up.

I think he meant any shoes they want. Since he was giving one player grief about wearing Kobe’s shoes.
My question is what is that thing Jordan is standing next to?

MJ’s a weird dude. What the hell is he wearing? A life-sized remote control go-cart? I mean it’s cool and all, but isn’t he almost 50?

He is weird, felt like a 25-year old hanging out in a high school parking lot. I would love to hear what he tells his psychiatrist.
His outfit though is excusable, he was at the games advertising his brand.

probably not today, but it’s looking like he’s not going to be the coach next year (via resignation or firing). I’m sad.

I was referring more to the abercrombie-styled intentionally ripped jeans. But yeah… the video totally feels like the 25 year old guy who was a star athlete in high school hanging out in his high school parking lot.

Ha, true. He’s trying to stay hip with the younger crowd. Not unlike the mothers of most of my Jewish friends.

To be fair, doesn’t he own that parking lot? If I had my own NBA arena and parking garage I’d totally ride around in my moon buggy there as it appears he was planning to do before being so rudely interrupted by college basketball teams

Absolutely. But I’m almost positive that dude cries at least once a day.
