Thumbnail image for I’d Dominate Michael Jordan! (and Barack Obama)

The USA Today asked eight of the top high school players in the country, all in attendance for Saturday’s Jordan Brand Classic, what they thought the final score would be if they played MJ 1-on-1. Three of the eight ACTUALLY SAID THAT THEY WOULD WIN against MJ in his PRIME! Which got me to thinking…. [...]

I’ve known when Michael’s birthday is for most of my life. Maybe it was all of the books and magazines I read about him when I was a kid. Maybe it was the back of the basketball cards. Maybe it was because he’s the reason I play ball. He’s the reason there is a mevsMJ.com.

Wasting Time

After taking in the farmer’s market in downtown Clermont on Sunday afternoon, my wife and I walked down to the nearby lake.  We walked to spend time together.  We walked to enjoy the gorgeous weather that is a permanent resident of Central Florida. That simple leisurely stroll ended up sending a jolt through me that [...]

On January 16th, Corey Maggette of the NBA’s Detroit Pistons found me on Instagram and it changed everything. Just 11 days later, after some messaging back and forth between myself and Corey, I was at the Orlando Magic vs. Detroit Pistons game on Sunday to meet him, thank him for his kindness and to hand [...]

Last night I asked for support in my quest to play Michael Jordan 1-on-1. Then something amazing happened!

God gives us a dream and then in moments like last night, with me, He says DREAM BIGGER!

He says BELIEVE FOR GREATER THINGS!

Me vs. Pat The Roc (World’s Greatest Ball-Handler)

Thumbnail image for Me vs. Pat The Roc (World’s Greatest Ball-Handler)

Sunday, just before the evening took over the day, I was checking the ball in against what many regard as the best basketball ball-handler in the World! A guy who, when observed on the court, makes the ball look like it’s an extension of himself. His name, Patrick Robinson or as he’s better known to [...]

A Better Me

With my eyes focused down towards the hardwood floor, I placed one foot after the other inside my Jordan slides.  As I began to close up my gym bag, I heard someone several feet away say, “Oh, he’s getting ready to leave.  Maybe next time.” I had just finished running some full court games with [...]

Last Friday morning I was in the gym, almost alone.  Just me and this little kid, who couldn’t have been more than 7 years old.  I admit, I was very focused on getting my makes in, but I could feel the young man watching me shoot one ball after the other. Every now and then he would [...]
