The 2023 NBA Draft saw history being created as the league welcomed a remarkable duo into its ranks. Twin brothers, Amen and Ausar Thompson became the first set of brothers to be among the top five picks in the draft.  However, the post-draft interview revealed a humorous yet relatable situation between the twins, as Amen Thompson joked about losing his prized Michael Jordan possession. The twins played at Overtime Elite after skipping college and have consistently impressed scouts and analysts with their skills.  Now, they’ll be going their separate ways as they enter the NBA. The battle over prized possessions between the Thompson brothers has quickly become a hot topic of discussion among fans. It seems that shoes, particularly a coveted pair of Jordan x Travis Scott sneakers, have become the epicenter of this fun conversation.   In an interview with ESPN, the interviewer asked about the key items they were fighting for, “And look, I understand that you guys ar...

Michael Jordan, arguably the greatest basketball player of all-time, delivered one of the most raw and powerful speeches at Kobe Bryant’s public memorial on Monday.    He also provided some much-needed humor. While remembering his “little brother” Bryant, Jordan, who was fully crying before he even took the stage, couldn’t help but reference a now-classic Internet meme.   I’ll have to look at another crying meme (of myself) for years,” Jordan quipped, wiping away tears. The 20,000 mourners at Staples Center, all clearly familiar with the “Crying Jordan” meme, burst into laughter.   “I told my wife I wasn’t going to do this because I didn’t want to see (a new meme) for the next three or four years,” he continued. “That’s what Kobe Bryant does to me.”  Bryant was often compared to Jordan throughout his NBA career and regularly sought advice from the Chicago Bulls legend. “He used to call me, text me 11:30, 2:30, 3:00 in the morning,” Jordan recalled. ...

Scottie Pippen’s grudge against Michael Jordan appeared to stem from how he felt he was treated in "The Last Dance" documentary that took a look into the creation of the Chicago Bulls’ dynasty and how it ended.  Late last month, Pippen piled on the Jordan criticism in a podcast interview when he said that the six-time NBA champion was a "horrible player" early in his career and that LeBron James has had a better statistical career than anyone who has ever played in the league.   Pippen also claimed that Jordan’s legacy did not really start until he came along. However, the barbs Pippen has unleashed on Jordan stunned Basketball Hall of Famer Bill Walton.   "I'm shocked and dismayed and those words are not strong enough to relate my feelings as the way that Scottie Pippen treats Michael Jordan," Walton said Friday on "Scoop B Radio." Walton added, "It was a remarkable privilege and honor to have that position and to witness the greatnes...
