CLEVELAND - Michael Jordan will officially become enshrined into basketball immortality today as he gets formally inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame, an occurrence so expected for so long, that it should have been put on the 2009 calendar the minute he was born in 1963.I'm only half joking.
Jordan enters the hallowed halls of hoops heaven alongside other hardwood luminaries such as David Robinson, John Stockton and coaches Jerry Sloan and C. Vivian Stringer. In spite of his prestigious company, Jordan is without a doubt the headliner and his entrance has received a disproportionate amount of press and publicity.
He deserves every bit of it and more.
Naturally, I am a gigantic MJ fan and have been for many years, so I am a little biased. Even still, Jordan's expansive accomplishments and historic impact on both basketball and pop culture is simply unprecedented.
I will be waiting with heavy anticipation, ready to dispense a hearty standing ovation.
