Rapper Bow Wow learned this the hard way as a teenager, when he became friends with MJ’s sons. According to a recent interview, he once wore a pair of Allen Iverson’s signature Reebok shoes when he slept over at Jordan’s house, and His Airness was not impressed. I’m actually real cool with his sons, Marcus and Jeffrey…I would say, we kinda grew up together. Being on tour, every time we came to Chicago, even at the age of like 15, they would come around and we just clicked. There’d be times I stayed over at the family, ya know, Mr. Jordan’s house…actually a funny story, I actually wore some Iverson’s to their house…and Michael Jordan woke us all up and was like ‘Whose is these?’…and I was like ‘they’re mine’…and I never saw My A.I.’s after that moment. I was in some Jordan’s going down to play some basketball. For The Win

Nate Robinson scored 23 points in the fourth quarter of the Chicago Bulls’ Saturday playoff game against the Brooklyn Nets, leading Chicago to a comeback and forcing overtime at the United Center. This would be impressive on its own, but that number is just one point shy of the Bulls’ franchise record for points in the fourth quarter of a playoff game. Who holds that record? Some guy named Michael Jordan. MJ did it on May 12, 1990, against the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Jordan’s performance was not enough to prevent the Sixers, led by current TNT analyst Charles Barkley, from winning the game. Nate did this to give the Bulls a lead at the end of overtime: For The Win

For comparison, Jordan’s home is “only” 35,000 square feet. Here’s some perspective: For The Win

If their paths ever do cross again, Glenn DiSarcina believes his old Birmingham Barons teammate would remember him. But they roam different galaxies. DiSarcina lives in Shirley and is the baseball coach at Groton (Mass.) School. Michael Jordan, the greatest basketball player ever -- and most famous .202 hitter in Double-A baseball history -- is majority owner of the NBA's woeful Charlotte Bobcats. The two were teammates 19 years ago, riding through the Southern League in a $350,000 luxury bus provided by a Birmingham, Ala., tour company in exchange for Jordan appearing in a magazine advertisement.

On the team bus and inside the Barons clubhouse, Jordan was just one of the guys, says DiSarcina. He just had a lot more walking-around money. The team had a Dominican catcher named Rogelio Nunez. Jordan took it upon himself to help Nunez improve his English. He offered Nunez $100 each time the catcher correctly spelled a baseball term that began with a certain letter. Jordan would give Nunez the letter the day before and tell him to study overnight. Unbeknownst to Jordan, Nunez's studying consisted of going to his English-speaking teammates for a cheat list of possible terms. "I think he made $2,000 before Michael caught on," says DiSarcina.

"He was a great teammate. He worked extremely hard," says DiSarcina. "If he had come out as an 18-year-old and worked strictly on baseball, he would have been in the big leagues in four or five years. For athletic ability, nobody was better." The Saratogian
