Michael Jordan

Um, we brainstormed and thought about, uh, if each of us were a character in Space Jam, what would we be, which was pretty fun.

Uh, Bo was like, "You're Michael Jordan 'cause you never miss any basketball shots." And I'm like, "Yeah, man, that's right."

[laughs]

Um, Rose would be Lola Bunny.

[laughs]

And Henry would be the Tasmanian Devil.

What did we say for Catherine? Catherine would be Michael Jordan's wife.

[laughs]

But maybe to kinda kick it off, I'd love to know, like, based on your collecting, all the years, 'cause I understand you've been collecting for a very, very long time, and there's some family ties there, but maybe, like, what is your favorite card currently in your PC and why?

My favorite card is probably my 1999, um, Michael Jordan final floor auto.

I feel like when I was growing up, like, everyone wanted autographs.

Like, it was, like, the 2001 Bowman Chrome Albert Pujols auto.

It was, like, the Ichiro Ultimate auto.

Like, for me growing up, like, the autograph was the big card, and I think things kind of changed over time with Prizm, where it's like, actually some people are shifting to now just wanting the card without the autograph.

But, like, to me, I've always, uh, really appreciated autographs because the athlete had a moment with the card, and, like, to me, that's kind of something cool, and especially when it's Michael Jordan, who's, you know, like, we could argue whether or not he's the GOAT, but he's the biggest basketball player in collecting.

And I love the idea that he had a moment with the card, and, like, the autograph is just perfect.

I think it helps a little bit, like, even playing at, like, the level of, like, Rob Pelinka and Bob Myers.

Like, yeah, you're not Michael Jordan, but you're playing enough to the point where, like, you know what winning basketball looks like.

You're a hooper, you know?

So why-

And, again, talk about playoffs and guys that show up.

I mean, this guy's Michael Jordan in the playoffs, basically.

So, Joey Logano, Michael Jordan.

Have we ever seen them in the same room together? I don't know that we have, Rob.

They might be the same person.

We've never seen them both in the same room.

Strange, huh?

Mostly because I haven't seen Michael Jordan.

plethora of things.

Could be the Michael Jordan of rap.

Could be the Michael Jackson of rap.

I don't know.

I think it might get slightly better reviews because I think it's, it's trying less to be, "Hey, hey, Looney Tunes, they're cool.

They can play basketball with Michael Jordan," and more just trying to be a Looney Tunes story that I don't think is as successful as it could be, but is more like that.

So I think it's over 50%, but I don't think it's too high of a 50%.

So I'm gonna say 52%.

So Deion Dawkins, although he had a blemish at the beginning with that move, with that play there, these two did their job.

They, in the words of, I think it was Michael Jordan when he says, I took that personally when he was doing his documentary.

Bro, they took it personally.

Deion Dawkins and Spencer Brown took it personally and they made sure that they stifled those two bookend, bookend, demon hunters to try to come after them.

It's like the kid who's playing basketball on his hoop out front, and every shot there's a car that walks by, and he's like, I wonder if that was an NBA scout.

Hey, did you see that, Michael Jordan? Did you see that? Are they going to call me up to the 76ers? Bro, are the Spurs calling right now? It's that kind of thing, you know.

But I was not that guy.

I just wanted to deal with my life.

I better win, right? And I better win pretty easily, okay? And so, but that isn't also, that's not a very fun fight to watch.

That's not very, you know, really not good for anybody involved, okay? So what am I trying to get to as far as this goes? Or maybe you've heard of this idea of flow, right? You know, you'll hear like maybe stories about Michael Jordan playing and they just get in the flow of the game.

They get in kind of a...

They're just in like that place.
