IC asked:
Nike is a worldwide recognized sneaker brand, the most popular line of Nike sneakers is called to Air Jordan. As you may know, this specific brand of shoes was designed for Michael Jordan, one of the best basketball players in history, this brand became so popular that Nike had to create a subdivision which would handle everything related to the Air Jordan sneakers.
This line was created back in 1984 and there have been numerous releases each and every year, even after Michael Jordan retired from professional basketball, due to their popularity is a sneaker which is purchased by private collectors will acquire basketball related memorabilia. The Air Jordan sneakers are classified according to the year they were released to the market and by their particular model, which vary from samples, originals also referred to as OG, retros, retro pluses and player executive models which are also referred to as PE.
In addition, the Jordan brand also produces a line of team shoes which have nothing to do with the Air Jordan models but are just as popular. When it comes to the Air Jordan models, one signature design is re-introduced every year however, it is different from the previous design because the colors and the scheme have been changed.
In order to create a good demand and keep the value of the shoe as high as possible, the subdivision of Nike which is in charge of releasing new Air Jordan sneakers announces one specific date which will be set for distribution of this specific line, this ensures that the sneakers will still be wanted by basketball fans who love the retro design of the shoe.
Ever since its original release there have been 23 models introduced to the market, the names of each model only vary by a number which is given to the shoe in order to represent the sequence of the release. Back in 1985 the Air Jordan I was considered a breakthrough in basketball although he was later on improved with a new line called the Nike dunk which was intended for college basketball, it wasn’t until the third release that the Air Jordan sneakers featured the jumping logo, this edition of the sneaker was the cornerstone of Nike’s most successful advertising campaign.
Air Jordan III was reintroduced in 1994 however that sales were not as great as expected which is why it had to be re-retroed and become a hit, it is said that a pair of Air Jordan III can be sold for over $300.

Who Will Become the Next Michael Jordan
Filed Under Michael Jordan | Comments Off
Eddie Delgado asked:
For many years there has been vast media frenzy on who will be the next Michael Jordan, the next basketball superstar who can stand up to this title. Michael Jordan stormed onto the NBA scene as a rookie during the 1984-1985 seasons. He was a super defensive player, an explosive offensive player, and an all-star for his famous dunk shots. Among some of his career highlights include ten NBA scoring titles, six NBA championship titles with the Chicago Bulls, six NBA Finals MVP awards, and an impressive overall career scoring average over 30 points a game (the highest in NBA history). These accomplishments are only part of his many masterful trophies, for which he holds many more. So the question still remains if and when will there ever be such a “natural superstar” for the NBA such as Michael Jordan.
The media has compared two players who may possibly fit the incredulous talent of Michael Jordan. One of which has been the super talented Kobe Bryant and the other is LeBron James. Both of these players have shown talent that over exceeds any current basketball player in the NBA today. Kobe Bryant has shined with the LA Lakers, bringing home the title many of times. His accomplishment include; three NBA titles, 10 All-Star game appearances, seven times as an All-Defensive Team selection, two scoring titles, and the second highest score ever reported in a single game (81 points). Then there is LeBron James: Because to his young age, James has already set some new records in the NBA, including the youngest player to win the NBA All-Star Game MVP, youngest to win the Rookie of the Year award, and the fastest to score 1,000 point, not to mention putting the Cleveland Cavaliers back on the map. Both players merit praise and admiration for their contributions to the NBA. But the question still remains; will there ever be another Michael Jordan?

I found an Upper Deck 1999 Michael Jordan 24K gold metal limited edition collectible card in honor of his retirement, 1639/23000 and I’m wondering how much this card is worth on the market right now because I’m not much of a basketball fan. Does anyone have any clue or estimation of its cost?

Is Wilt Chamberlain a better overall player than Michael Jordan? What are your thoughts?
Filed Under Michael Jordan | 5 Comments
Tommy asked:
I know Michael Jordan has all those rings, and I think that does mean something, but look at the stats.
Chamberlain: 30.1 ppg, 22.9 rpg, 4.4 apg
MJ: 30.1 ppg, 5.3 apg, 6.2 rpg, 2.35 spg
Note: They did not count steals back in Chamberlain’s time, but that shouldn’t really matter.
