In case you didn't know, ESPN has been running a series of documentary's on event in the last 30 years in sports. Quite a few have already run, particularly ones that deal with basketball. I still have yet to catch up on the Reggie Miller and A.I. flicks (now available on iTunes). But I have finally seen the one, that doesn't really deal with basketball; Just the greatest player to play the game
     If you're like me and are just a tad too young to remember the GOAT leaving the game of basketball, after 3 championships no less, too play baseball, this might help. Without any research, I knew in my mind that Jordan sucked, for his one year stint with the Birmingham White Sox. This movie definitely helped me find the truth. Sure, he had rust literally covering his swing, and his batting average was atrocious, but look deeper. He had 30 stolen bases, over 50 RBI's and 7 game winning hits (!). He was slowly developing into the clutch performer we all knew he was. In fact, according to some sources in the film, Jordan could have even made it to the big leagues if he stayed in the sport. But I never knew any of the positives. Everything I knew about his retirement I found from Space Jam!

     I think the movie was a great look into one bizarre year, that turned one small town into a destination, tripled league attendance, and made David Stern pray that the Savior would return. This might not ever happen again. Would Gretzky ever leave for soccer, or Peyton leave for the NBDL? Never. So whether you remember it, need to refresh, or need to expirience it for the first time, take a quick 50 minute on the bus, to remember when Michael Jordan was #45.

Rating: 3.5/5

In case you never saw the resemblance, musical artist Mike Posner, of "Cooler" fame, might be the evil twin of Kevin Love. Or the other way around? Favorite look-a-like?

In case you didn't know, the biggest international tournament of basketball that doesn't include a torch is beginning. Yes, there may be no LeBron, no Wade, no Kobe, no Bosh, no Paul, and no Williams, even no Rondo but that may just make things more interesting. How will Kevin Durant and Yi Jialian perform as the face of their respective countries. And don't forget about Ricky Rubio and Spain, or Carlos Arroyo and Puerto Rico. The fun all starts tomorrow, and doesn't end till the 12th of September. USA starts off vs Croatia at 12, don't miss out!

Brandon Jennings has had a relationship with Under Armour for the past two years, dating back to when he was skipping school for playing time in Rome. Being the only basketball player to wear UA's latest kicks, I was a bit jealous.  Everyone has the Nike's but only Mr. Double Nickel had Under Armour. But now the wait is over, starting this fall, Under Armour will have 4 models of basketball kicks available to the public. This includes his signature shoe for the 2010-11 season the Micro G Black Ice:
"Inspired by both his off-court all black style and his on-court speed game, the Micro G Black Ice covers his needs for fit, maximum traction, cushioning and support. Featuring a forefoot strap at his request for added lockdown, an asymmetrical collar for protection and added range of motion, and of course, the conveniently high fashion-esque colors of the Milwaukee Bucks, you can look for the Black Ice to be available during the second week of October." via SoleCollector

The Black Ice will set you back about $110, while the 3 others will range from $90-100.

More uni news from the NBA, we've seen new/updated logos for teams, now come the uniform reveals.

First up, the T-Wolves. We can finally say the KG era is long gone. The trademark treeline, around the neck is gone, along with the distinct number font, made famous by #21. Also gone, the green, being replaced by gray and black.
