Michael Jordan’s greatest moments, animated in NBA 2k11.

I’m not sure how he was able to do this, but MessenjahMatt on Youtube has managed to recreate some of MJ’s most memorable moments using the NBA 2k11 graphics engine. Check these out and subscribe to his channel.

It was definitely tough to watch these moments when they actually happened, but this video makes it worth watching again.

What would Michael Jordan tell Lebron James?

I’ve been going through a rough patch.

Things at work have not been going the way I had hoped. When I first started, I was filled with so much enthusiasm, passion, and energy that I literally thought that anything was possible. I believed that my company would change the world of education, and that I would have a big part to play in making those changes happen. I thought that I knew the way.

And now, I’m lost. What should I do?

This must be similar to how Lebron felt after losing the NBA championships in game 6 to the Dallas Mavericks.

When he first joined the Miami Heat he was so sure about winning a championship that he even predicted winning 7! How much enthusiasm, passion, and energy must he have had to make those brazen predictions!

And now look at him. He is a shell of his former self. He lost many of his fans and is now mocked everywhere he turns.

If you were Lebron, what should you do?

Here’s what Michael Jordan would tell Lebron.

That was definitely what I needed to hear. Nothing great ever comes easy. Michael didn’t get to where he got to purely based on athleticism and passion. He used everything he could think of to fuel himself to become better. Whether it was heart breaking defeats dealt by his opponents or stinging words from his critics, nothing deterred him from his one and only goal; which is to become the greatest basketball player of all time.

I still have much to learn.

I need to learn from my failures and allow them to make me stronger. Use the pain and the frustration as reasons to work harder and not reasons to quit. It’s too easy to quit. It’s hard to succeed. And I want to succeed. I now know what I must do. Thank you Michael.

Hopefully Lebron James can also learn from his mistakes from this past season. He is an unbelievably talented player and he has the potential to be so much more. I just hope that the setbacks he suffered is not enough to make him stop learning and improving. Although I don’t think he will come close to being the greatest basketball player of all time, he can definitely become ONE of the greatest players of all time.

Do you want to write the next chapter?

When this project first started I was motivated, passionate, and determined to complete it. However, I was also unemployed. Fortunately I was able to find a job I absolutely love. Unfortunately I no longer have the time nor the energy to pursue this project with the same fervor I once had. That’s why I’m reaching out for your help.

Wikipedia is great because it was created by millions of people all around the world. And this blog will only get better by getting contributions from all of the Michael Jordan fans from around the world. It could be anything from writing one chapter of the story to proof reading previous posts for errors. I know I’m not perfect and I’m sure I’ve made mistakes along the way. If you have an interest in helping to complete The Evolution of Michael Jordan, please let me know.

Jordan was the greatest basketball player of all time, but he still needed 4 other guys on the court to win.
