Michael Jordan beat 1-on-1

At one of Michael Jordan's basketball camps back in 2003, the NBA star was beaten in a game of 1-on-1 by John Rogers, the CEO of a Chicago investment firm. See also LeBron James getting beat at HORSE.

Update: Rogers also regularly hoops it up with Barack Obama.

The next Jordan

TrueHoop's Henry Abbott makes a list of all the "next Michael Jordans" that have come into the NBA in recent years. Harold Miner! I haven't thought about that guy in years.

Michael Jordan's son Jeffrey has beaten him

Michael Jordan's son Jeffrey has beaten him at basketball and, surprise! Michael's not too happy or proud.

MATT LAUER: When I beat my dad in golf for the first time, there was no one happier about it than my dad. It didn't please-- thrill you that much?

MICHAEL JORDAN: No. Not at the moment.

Sam Anderson articulates his hatred for Kobe

Sam Anderson articulates his hatred for Kobe Bryant. "Since he's a Jordan-like talent, Kobe clearly thinks that he's entitled to the Jordan mythology, but he doesn't have any of Jordan's charisma or imagination."

Scott Nelson produces a "tribute brand" called

Scott Nelson produces a "tribute brand" called MIKE that's an homage to Michael Jordan, Nike branding, and shoes. After looking at his products (photos and interviews here and here), I'm amazed Nike hasn't sued him back to the Stone Age. Nelson's site is mike23.com.

In addition to the James Frey thing,

In addition to the James Frey thing, we've got people digging into the identity of the secretive writer JT LeRoy (a denial).
