Nothing But Net….
Battling the hordes yesterday morning, the madness of the main streets over-powered me. I decided to find solace in a shop selling sporting attire – not the worst place in the world for me.
Taking the opportunity I had a browse around the shop and to my surprise, I came across the entire back catalogue of Air Jordans. Epic.
Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls were rock stars. Unbeatable on and off the court, Jordan sold his name to the then cool Nike and a brand of shoe as well as a legacy was born.
Whilst reminiscing about the years gone by, this advertisement popped into my head:
You can tell how old this is by the fact that there is a white basketball player. For those of you who don’t know that was Larry Bird. He was a big deal back in the day. It was so popular, McDonalds tried it again with LeBron James & Dwight Howard:
Michael Jordan is a legend and one the best Basketballers of all time.

Trawling the world of American sports is basically a full time (technically non paying) job. What with the NFL in preseason and contract holdout mode, MLB starting to get into battles for playoff spots, the NBA and NHL, although out of season, still providing interesting story lines regarding contracts and the standard off field controversys, the PGA Fed-Ex Cup is kicking off and New York is hosting the US Tennis Open starting Monday.
