SLAM and Gatorade Honor Michael Jordan

We all thought Michael Jordan was gonna be in the
Hall of Fame years ago. After hitting his memorable shot against the
Jazz in the ’98 Finals, he walked away with his legacy as the greatest
and his place in Springfield cemented. Until he came back as a
Washington Wizard. MJ gave us some a few more memories during his DC
days, but the Hall—and the chance to look back properly at what we
deemed two months ago the best career in NBA history—had to wait.
Well, the wait is finally over. As the basketball world prepares for MJ’s enshrinement on September 11, Gatorade has been busy honoring his Airness.
For their latest MJ-related promotion, the folks at Gatorade are giving
one lucky fan (well, two, since the winner can bring a friend) the
chance to be at the induction ceremony—and SLAM’s fortunate enough to
be a part of it. All you’ve gotta do to enter is check out the promotions part of Gatorade’s Facebook page
and vote for your favorite Jordan moment. This is where we come in:
there’s 10 to choose from, as submitted by a handful of journalists,
myself included (remember that frozen moment I mentioned up top? It
might look familiar in this pic, too).
The PR person running the media side of this promotion for Gatorade
called me a few weeks ago and asked if I’d participate. When he got to
me (on my cell late on a Friday afternoon, too late to even run this by
my co-workers), a few moments were already taken, but this classic
shot, which I remember so vividly (can’t believe it was 11+ years
ago!), had not been chosen, and to me seemed like the no-brainer most
memorable moment. I asked that SLAM get the “Last Shot,” did my little
write up, sent them a headshot, and waited for the contest to go live.
Based on the results so far, seems like a lot of fans agree with this
choice.

Citação :

SLAM magazine picking the latest in the long line of
memorable jumpshots, the most memorable for a lot of our generation, is
both a little strange (name like SLAM with all those posters and
SLAMADAMONTHS) and a no brainer. This one will probably get tons of
votes.
