Gatorade just launched a pretty cool — natch, G — promotion on Facebook to celebrate Michael Jordan's upcoming Hall of Fame Day and the Gatorade Limited Edition Jordan Series bottles. Incredibly, Dwyer and I somehow managed to weasel our way into it.
Gatorade is asking fans to honor Jordan's induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame by voting for his most memorable moment on the Gatorade Facebook page. A panel of top sports journalists, personalities and, ahem, this weirdo nominated 10 unforgettable memories — from Jordan's celebrated dunks to his many title celebrations — and now you get to decide which MJ moment reigns supreme.
You're allowed to vote for your favorite Jordan moment once a day and (if you're 18+) get a chance to win a trip for two to the Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Sept. 11 in Springfield, MA. Note: You don't have to enter the trip sweepstakes; so don't let that deter you from jumping over and voting for Dwyer or me.
"The Shot" moment is going to be hard to beat, even if it is a tad overplayed. Nonetheless, if you're feeling generous, or you simply agree with our picks, here are BDL's two humble submissions.
First Title Celebration: "Seeing Michael hugging that trophy in 1991, as a Chicagoan, you could not absolutely help but swell with pride. Looking at the Chicago Bulls red in a locker room, soaked with champagne, in a place where Lakers gold and Celtics green once was? It’s the reason I do what I do, 18 years later." — Dwyer
Six Treys, One Shrug: "Game 1 of the 1992 Finals, MJ sets an NBA record by hitting six treys in the first half. After his sixth money ball, Michael looks courtside and shrugs his shoulders as if to say, 'I’m as scared as you are, guys.'" — Skeets
The MJ moment with the most votes when closing ends on Aug. 31 will become a collectible Gatorade bottle.

The game before Charlotte he had 6 points against Indiana and people where saying he was to old, even to us when we where at the airport.. And then Boom! http://articles.latimes.com/2002/jan/01/sports/sp-19364
