From the Chicago Tribune:
DETROIT – Michael Jordan accepted a Hall of Fame jersey, looked at former competitors John Stockton and David Robinson and threatened to make another comeback.
“Every time I see these guys, I want to put my shorts on,” Jordan said.
The former Bulls great was elected to the 2009 Basketball Hall of Fame class along with Robinson, Stockton and his coach in Utah, Jerry Sloan. Rutgers women’s coach C. Vivian Stringer was also elected.
As remarkable as Jordan’s career was, a five-time MVP who won six NBA titles, he said this day was one he never imagined.
“I would never have envisioned myself at any point being in any hall of fame,” he said.
The announcement was made in Detroit, site of the men’s Final Four, on the day Jordan’s North Carolina Tar Heels will face Michigan State for the national championship. He won a title with North Carolina when current coach Roy Williams was an assistant in 1982.
Induction is Sept. 10-12 in Springfield, Mass., home of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
I also found this video on ESPN.com today that says it all. He is the greatest of all time.
Last week (when Cami was gone) the Koby and Spencer wanted to do some “science experiments” on our kitcher counter. One of them included getting water into a cup. Rather than simply filling it up, they built a contraption that let them spit the water into a row of straws and then into a cup.
There were a couple variations that they came up with, but what was really runny was that they were the ones that thought it up and how to do it. Then they were the ones that built the whole thing. I only helped show them how to put some tape on to hold the straws to the cups. Everything else they did themselves.
It reminds me of the old Rube Goldberg books from school. Does anyone else remember them?
A week or so ago, I had an opportunity to go to Koby’s school for the annual Dad’s Day. Every year the kindergartener’s have a day where they present a little program and only the dad’s are invited to attend. They spend time learning a couple songs and a little presentation. We also got to write and color with them in their journals, sit at their desks and also see the different stations that they play with during their day.
We were able to spend about an hour there playing with them and seeing the classroom. It was a lot of fun and I was excited to go and see him with his friends from school. He likes school a lot and does really well in his class. I am really proud of him and how smart he is (I think he gets that from me).
These were part of Koby’s kite that he made at school. I love how much he likes BYU. Every time he has a project that he works on he makes it blue and white, and if possible, includes the letters BYU somewhere.
This part of the presentation that the kids did for the dad’s.
