lol, I won't lie I was a big bulls/mj bandwagon fan growing up (at least before his first retirement). When he finally came back I was a full-fledged Magic fan though....the Nick Anderson steal Always pulled for MJ when he wasn't playing Orlando though, and I got to see his last game in Orlando his final year with the Wizards. Got some great pics of him from the 3rd row after I moved down the last couple minutes of the game...great experience.

When I was real little I was all about MJ though. Had books, posters, etc. I even wrote him a letter asking him to come over and teach me basketball. Told him me and my brother would sleep on the floor so he could push both beds together to stay the night My Mom still has the letter somewhere...

That's awesome.


I was a huge MJ fan as well. No team in New Orleans, plus being able to watch most of his games on WGN, plus how exciting he was especially early in his career, it was a no brainer for me.
