got thumbs up from MJ

so i was driving around the other day in the box, it wasn't snowing thank god for once, and i see a really nice clean white benz with some nice wheels
so i finally get next to it at the light, and look over to see who the owner is of this nice lowered white car with white deep dish wheels and what do you know, Michal Jordan with his signature gold earring
funny, he looks at me, and looks straight, then he looks back again and smiles and gives me thumbs up...so i returned the gesture as well and nodded my head.
he put his window down and said "cool toy man". i said something like urs is better or something along those lines and thanked him for the comment.
dont know if he remembered me or not, but we used to all go watch the games at his sons HS back in the day and sat and talked to him a few times, but still, even if he didnt its all good
btw, funny that i was supposed to go see the bulls game that day, but something came up, but i did get to see him so i guess im not hurting as much eheheh
ahhh good ol MJ days and bulls ( i remember being the happiest kid in the world when i found out that were moving to Chicago to be able to see him play)

Thats a cool story, you will always remember the compliment from MJ over any "thats not a real Porsche" from a 12 year old.

You take ******************** from 12 year olds? That seems like a case for Mr. Shoe to meet Mr. Mouth (see: roundhouse kick to the grill )

In any case, MJ should stop doing Hanes commercials with Cuba Gooding, Jr.

I bet me 12 year old can kick the hell out of your 12 year old....I hope that kid was ok.. I dont think I would want to walk back in the ring after receiving that kick.

Cool story, DJ.

I am always on "MJ look-out" now when I go to Illinois basketball games. His son, Jeffrey, is a walk-on. As a season ticket holder, I am very happy to have him on the team.

Cool story, DJ.

My sister was a waitress in DC at one time and waited on MJ. She said he gave her a big tip and was very polite.

Its nice to hear stories like this about uber-rich famous people. We usually only hear about the jerks out there.
