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

Michael Jordan married Cuban-American model Yvette Prieto on Saturday, and the tent he put together for the festivities was pretty impressive. MJ held his wedding at the Bears Club in Jupiter, Florida, and rented space for the tent on Jack Nicklaus’ golf course on the resort. The facility totaled 40,000 square feet in space. For comparison, Jordan’s home is “only” 35,000 square feet. Here’s some perspective: For The Win

Two thousand friends and celebrities are expected to attend the wedding festivities, which will no doubt include some wining and dining at MJ's 37,000 sq. ft. home on Florida's Jupiter Island. etonline.com

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. The Saratogian

"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

It’s kind of an oldie, but it’s still a goodie… Remember when Michael Jordan sued Qiaodan Sports for ripping off his name? Well, now Qiaodan is coming back with a lawsuit of their own against Jordan to the tune of $8 million bucks. The Fujian-based company’s suit was accepted by a Quanzhou court on April 2nd after they claimed Jordan tarnished their reputation and delayed their plans for an initial public offering on the Chinese stock market. Qiaodan Sports, founded in June 2000, was approved by the China Securities Regulatory Commission in November 2011 for listing on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The news was originally reported by the Wall Street Journal. NiuBBall.com

Albert, who began calling NBA action for the New York Knicks in 1967, was courtside at an NBA game that was resurrected in cyberspace Thursday -- Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals. At issue: Whether Chicago's Michael Jordan was suffering from food poisoning, rather than the flu, while turning in a 37-point performance. Albert, who sat courtside to call that game, says he thinks "that's very possible. It's not astonishing it wouldn't be the flu but simply another type of upset stomach. But it was one of the most incredible performances I've seen. He was sick." USA Today Sports
