GYGM: Who's Bad?

Wow, I can't believe I haven't posted at all in the month of June...

Well, now is as good a time as any to post a GYGM (I know it has been a long time). I promise I'll be back to posting in the near term (even though NBA is done, I have some thoughts on the trades and draft picks...and what I think will continue to be an interesting summer for all of those...)

But I had to give all due respect to what I can safely say is the greatest entertainer of all time. Everything else has already been said.

It's funny that LeBron mentioned during the BET Awards last night that MJ did a lot for basketball, as he may have not considered the veracity of his statement, but he is right. Michael Jackson's influence across all forms of entertainment certainly paved the way for others (black, white and other) from sports to music to movies and television.

Thanks for the memories, MJ.
