People Who Inspire Me...

    More than anything, the people who inspire me the most are the everyday people who live honest lives and do the little things daily to make the world a better place. My drive to be the best man I can be is fueled by my wife, parents, sisters and friends. I am motivated by people with ambition and who never give up. I am inspired by people who are completely selfless and constantly give all that they can for those in need. Volunteers are my true hero's. Whether they leave their home and careers to build schools in war torn countries or volunteer once a year at an annual food drive their only incentive is to help. I am inspired by creative minds and free thinkers. Below are just a few of the many many people that have inspired me. Stay close. 1.

Nobody comes close to Jordan!

     Ok... Ok... Ok... Everyone seems to agree that Michael is the best player ever but there are two other arguments that need to get settled. One is that there is not a close second and number two is if some how we can take Lebron James, Jordan and Kobe and make them play against one another in there prime who would dominate. In all fairness Lebron hasn't peeked yet but based on what we know Jordan would come out on top. In terms of who is a close second, there simply isn't one. Remember... Jordan has 6 rings AND he took two years off to play baseball AND when he returned he played like he never left AND won 2 more rings. Players who are away from the game for 2 weeks wether its a suspension or injury come back and have a hard time picking up where they left off. Again, there is no close second.
    I remember as a kid the older guys would talk about the players who retired and I could never really appreciate it when I was young because I never watched them play. Now I understand how those guys felt when I was only praising the players who were current. Even though I respected the players from the previous generation because I knew what they had accomplished I could never fully appreciate them as much as someone who has watched their entire career. I feel like smacking the $hit out of these younger bums when they say stupid things like "Lebron would school Air Jordan if they could play one on one in their prime. It's the same with music. For example these younger guys are talking about J Cole and Lil Wayne having the best albums ever and I am thinking " yeah they are dope but... Have you heard Illmatic (NAS) or Jay Z's reasonable doubt?". Now I can finally appreciate and understand when an older dude comes up to me talking about Rakim or Big Daddy Kane being dope.
    With that being said there are certain people who I believe are timeless and there accomplishments transcend generation barriers. Michael Jackson, Babe Ruth, Wayne Gretzky and obviously Michael Air Jordan just to name a few. The clip below is a reminder as to why Jordan is praised the way he is. Stay close. One.
