This is an amazing commercial of him were did you get it

I think I got it from some message board...

I have this commercial for a long time now. It's still my favourite along with the "Frozen Moment" commercial.

people say that jordan is the best because he is representative of the spirit of basketball and what it has grown to become. Jordan proves that basketball can't be compared to other sports not because it's the best, but because it is what it is, and there can be no imitators. I may never meet you, Mr. Jordan, but I won't forget you

I actually had a chance to ask Michael Jordan on cbssportslinecom back in '97 regarding this commercial if he really took off from the foul line shooting this commercial. I was fortunate that my question was answered and he said yes that he did it several times during the shoot. He was 34 at that time!!

@pimpazoid Rings don't make a player, it just shows how fortunate you were. WIlt was by far a superior player to Russell, difference was Wilt didn't have 7-8 HOF players in his team every-single-year. Makes the winning part a little bit easier, don't you think? No offense to Russell who was a fine player, but hyping people for their rings gives too much credit to them and puts them into positions they don't belong in (like Kobe being top5 player of all time, please!).

One of my favorite Jordan commercials. Great message.

Good point, but give me a man who gave black people and white people a reason to communicate. A shared appreciation of brilliance, that made men put asside their differences....

G.O.A.T

I was only a kid watching MJ play in his last few years with the bulls...little did I know how fortunate I was to see him play at his finest

[arild2]

please indeed. welcome to the real world

[pimpazoid]

cause he has good commercials? Please. Give me Russell's eleven rings infront of racist crowds every night. That is a hero. Best of all time.

[SolidValidus]

Damn. Wordless...

[arild2]

he is greater in every way in the art of bsket ball. the legend the greatest ever :)

[srsstud2887]

he keeps proving the younger generation that age doesn't matter and he still performs great and to be honest every time he keeps coming back....hes always the most oldest and the most experienced basketball player than anyone on the field that what still makes him a great basketball player... no questions asked.

He DOESN'T have the same skill level because if he did, he'd CONSISTENTLY produce equal or better individual results than MJ in EVERY facet of the game, which he CONSISTENTLY doesn't..

U cannot profess 2 players are of the SAME skill level when one of them consistently produces "lesser" results than the other..
