    The NBA was still figuring itself out at the time. Since the air Jordan 1, players wear pink, purple, whatever color they want 👍🏾

    is this the fruits of the ‘diversity’ money the bbc pledged. what an insightful, interesting and productive video.does the bbc think that because some 20-something bame diversity hire thought this would be a good topic, that it was actually worth producing? are they too scared they would’ve been called the scary r word if they didn’t??

      or are you mad that the bbc is spending your taxes on shining a light on successful black people?

    June 1996 - The Bulls were sweeping the playoff games with ZERO loses! It was the best finale season of basketball for a single team in history! June 12th - if they win this game they win it all, and they’ll be inducted into the Sports Hall of Fame as the first team to sweep every single playoff game - I’m in labour with my first child that night.
    If it’s a boy he’ll be named Jordan - we already have a pair of baby Air Jordan’s.
    They lost.
    We had a girl.
