Wow Your Man Wednesday: MJ Turns 50

Michael Jordan (In dictionary under: greatest human to ever play basketball)

I say human because we ALL remember space jam and no one can compete with the Monstars... not even Michael Jordan and that time he competed with the Monstars can compete with the Monstars.

They were cheating with their stolen talent anyway.
Charles Barkley is still waiting for his back, by the way.

Ole' Old MJ turns 50 this week and here is a look back at his career highlights so you can wow your man with a little MJ info. 

1981-1984
Attended a small school in North Carolina you may have heard of... The University of North Carolina.
I'm sure MJ took into consideration how nicely the powder blue would work on his skin tone. 

Here he is dunking, and here he is dunking, and here he is dunking

While in college he won the Naismith and the Wooden College Player of the Year awards. 
AKA he was MVP.

1984
Won a gold medal in the summer olympics

1985
Won the Rookie of the Year award playing with da Bulls.

Here he is dunking, and here he is dunking, and here is Peyton and Eli after dunking.

Here are the records he holds (and probably will always hold):


2000
Won the ESPY for athlete of the century award. 
That is impressive considering he had only been alive for about 35% of the century. 

2001-2003
Came out of retirement to play with the Washington Wizards. Nothing you really missed with that.

Moving on...

MJ now likes to play golf, get divorces and wear Hanes.
