Just days after the crushing news came down that he’s dropped to #2 behind Tiger Woods in the rankings of America’s favorite athletes, Michael Jordan gathered the strength to attend his niece’s high school graduation.
The girl’s name is Dominique Jordan, which is also the name of a super-hero we created in 1988.
“It was a great ceremony,” he said after graduation ended, as he walked to a platinum Range Rover parked near a side entrance of the Crown Coliseum. “I’m really proud of her.”
MJ still looks cool, doesn’t he? Wonder how long a retired athlete can stay on top of those rankings. Probabaly another five years, if we had to guess, and since guessing is the extent of our analytical abilities, we really do have to.
Other NBA players on the list include Shaq (#6), Kobe (#7), and LeBron (#8). These results are definitive, too – it’s the result of polling a whole 2,085 people between May 9 and 16, 2006.
First of all, why 2,085? Second of all, we could poll 2K in a week, on foot, by ourselves, with a lack of proper airflow, to boot. The reason we say that is becauses for some reason we think we’d get more responses if we cut off our airflow by 50% and told people if we don’t have 2,085 responses by the end of the day, we’d die.

It will probably be a while before he doesn’t look cool. I still think the man should coach though but not sure why he hasn’t? I had nothing to do over the weekend so I watch the majority of the old finals games. That phx/chi finals was great and so was the lakers/bulls. Any finals that had the bulls in there was great. I have to admit that I still miss seeing Jordan play and still like watching the old finals but that’s the same way I feel about seeing Bird, Magic, Drexler, Barkley and so many other great players not listed.
This picture registers a 144 out of a possible 6 on the Insanometer. “My master” Explosions galore.
I can’t believe that LeBron is #8. Seems like he’d be a lot higher than that given the amount of commercials he’s in.
This should’ve been like the 8th or 9th one. I think I backed myself into a corner.
