    There’s a reason Maxx has MJ and Kobe tatted on his body, amongst others.

    Those two were different. Sickly driven individuals that defied medical odds multiple times in their careers.

    Maxx is following suit and I hope to Christ Almighty he’s in the Raiders uniform his entire career Ala Kobe. (RIP).

      To say MJ is built different is an understatement. There have been some great players but to me MJ is the GOAT. The man was an artist on the court and no one could take over a game like he could. Hell, sometimes even the opposing players would be just watching in awe at some of the shots he made. I don’t think he even knew how he made some of them judging by the shrug he would give after some impossible basket.

        I bleed purple and Gold like I bleed Silver&Black, and my two heroes as a kid were Howie Long and Earvin Magic Johnson.

        Like Magic, I too am a SoCal transplant from Michigan (Flint not too far from Lansing where Maj hailed from), and I tell you what, it’s closer than most might think when you look at Magic’s resume, and then the kid Kobe came on the scene to do what he did 20 years in the Purple&Gold, but MJ was the perfect fucking basketball player for the time that he played! The sick determination, the athleticism, the mid-range, the post moves, the first step, the fucking huge paws! Forget it, don’t get me started on his defense either. Pit fucking bull on defense no pun intended!
