I haven't seen MJ this happy in 20 years. The 'Crying Jordan' meme is officially dead; we now have 'Celebrating Jordan'. For a guy who usually looks stoic or bored at Hornets games, seeing him sprinting onto the track and nearly tackling his driver shows how much this actually means to him. He turns 63 tomorrow, and he's celebrating like he's 23 again.

It says everything that Jordan chose Daytona over the NBA All-Star Game. While LeBron is out there playing in his 22nd All-Star game trying to hang onto his youth, Jordan is building a new empire. Seeing him hug Tyler Reddick with the same intensity he had hugging the Larry O'Brien trophy in '96 gave me chills. He doesn't miss the NBA; he found a new way to feed his addiction to winning.

Michael Jordan just wrote the blueprint for life after retirement. Most legends just show up to wave at crowds; Jordan went to war with NASCAR's monopoly in court, settled the lawsuit, and then immediately won their Super Bowl. Taking down the France family in the boardroom and then beating them on the track in the same winter is legendary behavior. He isn't just the GOAT on the court anymore; he's the most ruthless owner in sports.

The game actually had some competitive juice this year. Seeing Jeremy Lin hit that 8-pointer during 'double-time' was arguably the best basketball play of the night. It’s cool to see veterans like him and Tacko Fall treating this seriously enough to make it entertaining, rather than just walking up and down the court.

Rome Flynn is great, but giving him MVP over Tacko Fall is a joke. Tacko dropped 20 points, 21 rebounds, and 5 blocks. He literally dominated the entire game. Just because Flynn is the 'celebrity' face doesn't mean we should ignore a 20/20 performance. The voters clearly wanted the Hollywood ending over the actual best player on the court.

Giannis was right: Shams Charania cannot hoop. Watching the NBA's biggest insider go scoreless (0/6 shooting) while getting roasted by his own coach on live TV was the highlight of the night. He spends all year breaking news about players, only to look like he's never touched a basketball. Stick to the tweets, Shams. The '0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists' stat line is going to haunt his mentions for years.

Everyone needs to calm down and remember that Giannis and Jokic were also drafted late and nobody thought they would be stars. Is nepotism involved? Obviously. But Bronny actually has a high defensive IQ and passes well. He isn't there to be a scorer; he is there to be a role player. If he can develop a consistent corner three and play elite defense, he belongs in the league. Let's judge him after two full seasons of professional training rather than writing him off before he plays a real game.

The media circus around this kid is going to destroy the Lakers' chemistry. How are you supposed to coach a team when one rookie is untouchable because his dad runs the franchise? Every mistake Bronny makes will be magnified, and every time he gets minutes over a better player, the locker room resentment is going to build. It’s not fair to the kid either—he is being set up to fail on the biggest stage imaginable just to satisfy LeBron's ego trip. He needed two more years in college to actually develop.

It is genuinely insulting to every G-League grinder who has been working their entire life for a shot at the NBA. We are watching a 6-foot-1 guard who averaged 4 points in college get a guaranteed roster spot just because his dad is the King. If his last name was 'Smith,' he would be working at a car dealership right now, not sitting on an NBA bench. It devalues the league when roster spots are treated like 'Bring Your Kid to Work' day gifts. LeBron has earned his legacy, but Bronny hasn't earned this.
