We have to bring the same passion he brings. The Mavericks' decision to sport blue socks as opposed to traditional white wasn't unanimous. But league regulations dictate that the same color is worn by everyone on the team, without any logo except the NBA's official Jerry West silhouette. My crazy idea would have been to play barefoot. I do what I'm told.
Socks are socks, man.
If you're a bit disappointed that Michael Jordan comeback talk is infringing on the players of today and their playoffs, you're not alone. The Mavericks' Michael Finley, a close friend of Jordan, is similarly bemused by the nation's MJ obsession. We don't need another Mike. Besides, the other Mike is not coming back. A four-team trade brought him to Dallas over the summer, and while he says he's not affected by the return, fans in Utah clearly thought differently.
