With Michael Jordan, the king arrives at the Basketball Hall of Fame

Posted Sep 10, 2009
For the shrine that is a tribute to the best of the best, your king has arrived. Michael Jordan, the greatest player to ever dribble a basketball, will be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2009. Bill Russell was a great winner, Pistol Pete Maravich a great scorer and Larry Bird and Magic Johnson were great competitors, but Jordan was all of it. (The Republican)
