Eerily Fascinating: Video Shows Kobe Bryant and Micheal Jordan Similarities

Okay, this is incredibly cool, but really creepy at the same time.

Someone took the time to comb through and compare highlights of Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant and edit them together.

That editor found that the similarities between the two was to say the least startling....

And quite honestly, we find it amazing. But it really does explain several things. If you are of a certain age and loved basketball like Kobe does, you probably modeled a lot of the things you did after the G.O.A.T...

This video proves it--

So...Michael Jordan Sinks 11 Shots in a Row at Hoops Camp....

((ht: espn.com))

At the risk of making a joke out of this, ESPN.com is showing video of NBA legend Michael Jordan hitting 11 straight shots at his basketball camp in North Carolina.

Which is great for him...as long as you add some perspective...

Watch the 50+year old Jordan start with a layup and bunny bank shot and work out to the 3-point line.

Yes, he makes those too....standing by himself.

And while this is all entertaining and great, we can already see the SportsCenter lead story forming in front of our eyes---"Could Michael Jordan return to the NBA"?

Um...based on what we see here, we'd say NO!

Anyone wanna bet on tonight and tomorrow's story?

NBA Board of Governors unanimously approves Hornet move back to Charlotte

CHARLOTTE -- The "buzz" is back in the Queen City.

On Friday morning, the NBA Board of Governors unanimously approved an application by the Charlotte franchise that will allow the Bobcats to revert back to the Hornets moniker for the 2014-15 season.

The original Hornets franchise played in Charlotte from 1988 until the team moved to New Orleans in 2002. Those original hornets teams featured players like Larry Johnson, Alonzo Mourning, and fellow Wake Forest star Muggsy Bogues.


The passion and enthusiasm around this name change by fans in this market has been unmatched,” Michael Jordan, chairman of Bobcats Sports & Entertainment, told Bloomberg News. “With the young team we are developing on the court, the direction of our business and the return of the Hornets name, we are extremely excited about our future. The buzz is back.”

The organization held a party Thursday night at the Charlotte EpiCenter to announce the name change, and Rex Chapman, Kendall Gill, and Bogues were there to help celebrate.

One question remains...where's Hugo the Hornet?


We'll keep you posted.

Want The New Air Jordans...??? Don't Break A Mall Down To Do It...

((HT: MyFoxAtlanta))

One of the new items that people are stalking this Fetivus is the new Jordan sneaker. It runs $180 per pair, which turns out to $90 per shoe.

Which the HQ thinks is too damn expensive for a pair of shoes that may last a year...

Anyway, we digress...

A lot of people, not the HQ, think that these shoes are a good idea for a gift this season. But when they became available, the laws of supply and demand took over. Combine that with a mad rush of folks and you get...

Arrests...

Tacoma Perry was at Stonecrest Mall for the fallout...

$180 for a pair of shoes...
Good luck on that...
