To start this episode, Ken and Dan provide some suggestions on how NBA fans can pass the month of March, and talk about Michael Jordan buying the Bobcats.

They are then joined by the new lead blogger at Yahoo!’s Ball Don’t Lie, Trey Kerby. We talk a bit about his new job, and how he plans to keep the awesomeness rolling there at BDL.

We also talk about the Bulls, the greatness of Michael Jordan as a player, and come up with a new movie idea starring some unexpected NBA stars.

In the process, we come up with a new phrase that we hope you’ll all use from now on.

Really, it’s your perfect post-trade-deadline, pre-playoffs, 20-games-left-in-the-season, early March NBA podcast. You can’t not go wrong!

Breathing the Same Golf Course Air as Michael Jordan

Friday, July 31st, 2009

This photo was taken last week at a course in California by a golfer who’s name I am withholding because he was supposed to be working that day.  It’s amazing that someone’s arms and shoulders can be so unmistakable. We can call Kobe or Lebron the next MJ when they can still have that kind of imprint on our fickle brains after being retired for six years.

The way I heard it, Jordan was playing in a foursome and his teammate was Jud Buechler, who shot a 120 but so impressed spectators with his heady golfing and fiery attitude that he was named president and general manager of the PGA tour.  His first move was to trade Tiger Woods to NASCAR for Mark Martin’s expiring contract.
