Wednesday Afterschool Special: Jordan the Competitve Ghost


Paranormal Activity 7: The Jordan-ing
In a feature in Sports Illustrated, LeBron James admitted that he is chasing the reputation of a ghost that "played in Chicago." Could he be talking about Dennis Rodman or Scottie Pippen? Despite his sly answer, it's clear he's after Michael Jordan's place in history. Naturally, the world had to comment on his words:
LeBron: GIVE UP THE GHOST. Quit talking about how you're still "chasing the ghost" of Jordan as if you can catch/pass MJ legacy. You can't.

Now that @KingJames is focused on chasing MJ's ghost, do you think he will ever surpass him as the 🐐?

I would not be opposed to the Chiefs trotting out a doppleganger at every event from now until the start of the NFL season just to keep this off-season interesting.
Fake Andy Reid held a press conference at @Chiefs camp...

Sad Hair Day
Former Indians prospect Clint Frazier was traded to the Yankees in the Andrew Miller deal and you know the Bronx Bombers hate lucious locks.
Baseball just lost one of its best heads of hair
Speaking of hair-related tragedies ...
