From the Marbles - NASCAR

With the NBA Finals resuming tonight, here's another NBA-NASCAR post for your perusal. Here, Michael Jordan demonstrates how he used to shut down his opponents, with a double-handed throat grab that would result in a trip to the line for MJ.

That'll do it for today; tomorrow we'll kick off with a review of the new NASCAR 09 video game. Yes, that's what I'll be doing this evening, running the 2008 Cup season in advance. Have a good one!

    Look who he's got his Hanes on now! Tagless white tee if I'm not mistaken.

    Somewhere, Kevin Bacon and Cuba Gooding Jr. are crying.

    I think Jr. just told Michael he's not wearing his underwear but it seems nobody's convinced.

    Can we stop standing the NASCAR dudes next to the NBA dudes? I have fantasies that are being tainted by these pictures, you know! And they all involve me being taller than my knight in shining decals.

    Well hugs you know Michael is 6'6" so Jr. actually doesn't look that short. But MJ does have big hands and you know what that means?
    He wears big gloves. Dirty mind.

    I don't know. I'm thinking from the looks on the faces, MJ just told Jr how he has consistently been betting against Jr and winning. Likely told him that's the way he makes up for his losses on the golf course.
    This should be one of those caption pics.
    Hey, ya'll.

    It looks like MJ is standing about a foot or so from Jr and the arm around Jr's neck isn't even straightened out. Those looooong arms mean something...
    it's easier to dunk.
    What's with the giant swoosh on Jr's neck? I thought he had a deal with Adidas.

    Kim, I think that mark on his neck is a scar from when he got burnt a few years ago.
    Has Michael Jordan always looked like Mr. Clean? Hoop earrings are never a good idea guys, unless you are a pirate.

    Thanks, Nixie. I have seen other drivers with patches on their necks, just figured they were to hold the wires to the radio in place.
    Michael Jordan does look like a genie in this picture, doesn't he?

    Michael Jordan was prepared to choke Junior after Junior admitted to wearing Jockey, not Hanes. Instead, MJ was overheard telling Junior "No wonder you're losing".

    #19, that's okay, so long as they know when to make a hard left and when to ease on the throttle.

    i think Dale will b fine once he gets into the routine of things. Remember, he was controlled by Teresa 4 so long. He has the potential to do great things, after all, he is his fathers' son. Let's see what he can do, i'm sure he'll make daddy proud

    i_am_bold3000--- I think Jr. has already made his daddy proud by being a respectable human being. He may not win as many titles as his father did, or as many races, but Jr. has shown that he is a class act no mater what the Jr. haters say.
