Happy Birthday Michael Jordan!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE GREATEST SPORTS ICON IN THE HISTORY OF SPORTS ICONS. He is a God among basketball heads. He is the one you speak of when you first mention the word hoops. A living legend. A hero. The one you imitate counting down to zero while hitting a fadeaway jumper. The one that makes you even thrive under pressure situations. Finally, the one you grew up idolizing and wanting to be. We are going against the schedule to bring you "Competition Week" on the NCV and who better to start off with than the greatest competitor in history. Michael Jordan. So for his birthday, we are dedicating and posting NCV's 23 greatest Michael Jordan highlights. Since we separate ourselves from the norm of posting vids that everyone knows about, the kicker to this countdown is we are not using the following highlights: the switcharoo vs. the Lakers in the 91 Finals, the Craig Ehlo and Bryon Russell shot in the 98 Finals in Utah, the free throw line dunk. So here's the list:

23. Alonzo Mourning gets a rude introduction

As great as a shot blocker Zo was during his time, MJ just posterized him with this jam.

22. One of his last game winners with the Wizards.

The victim=Shawn Marion. We'll see him again later in the countdown.

21. Mt. Mutombo conquered

Dikembe Mutombo always had the finger wave after his blocks, so Mike decides to give him a taste of his own medicine.

20. His defense

Many people forgot to realize that Mike can play the defense. Just ask Xavier McDaniel

19. Game Winner vs. Charlotte

Tie game. One who does not know a thing about basketball knows who's getting the ball?

18. The Steal AND ONE

Watch the first 20 seconds to know what I mean. Bill Laimbeer's a dick BTW!

17. Watch the 1:20 mark.

Poor Kelly Tripucka. He never had a chance.

16. Young Jordan on Ewing

There's gonna be plenty of these. I hate the Knicks!

15. Mike in the 2003 All-Star Game

He couldn't fly anymore, but still had that pretty fadeaway. Victim again is Shawn Marion.

14. On Ewing again... Not the one you're thinking of.


13. Double Nickel vs. Knicks

55 for the man wearin' the Four Five

12. Steve Smith looked like an idiot.


11. 86 Playoffs=63 Points

Specifically the 0:20 mark

10. Mike ends it with a trey vs. Detroit.

BALLER!

9. VS.ATLANTA

HE IS NOW BACK!!!

8. He Made This Shot Famous

Kobe does it. Wade does it. Everyone does it.

7. Crazy ass shot over Nets

Number one on the list.

6. The fist pump


5. Barkley just gave up

He always had a leg up against his best friend

4. Dunks then rubs his ass on Ewing's face.

Just keep watching

3. ON FIRE!!!

Cliff Robinson's face=Priceless

2. Where the F*CK did he come from?


1. Baseline vs. Knicks

The entire Knicks team's jock is lying there and the image will be embeded in their heads forever!

MICHAEL JORDAN= G.O.A.T

25 GREATEST MOVIE LOVE SCENES EVER!!!

In honor of Love Week, we are dedicating the 25 greatest movie love/romantic scenes ever. Me and MACTINO are sensitive enough to think of a lot of movies and we've narrowed it down to the final 25. I know there's more, but here's our side of things. We pretty much just want to know that we cater to everyone, and we are able to show our sensitive side to all matters.

25. Casper



24. She's All That: Watching this movie showed me two things. The chick was hot the entire time and it showed how mean people could be. The stairs scene is something that a lot of people will always remember.



23. Aladdin: The magic carpet ride scene was truly a turning point to the film. The extraordinary soundtrack and song also added to the flare to such a romantic moment in a Disney film. If you weren't touched by this scene, you need to check if you're alive.


22. The Wood: "We ain't gettin' no studyin' done, you need to work on yo game anyway." What a line.


21. Pretty Woman: Sometimes you just gotta be treated like the high classed whore


20. Cruel Intentions: This was a sick, twisted, demented wonderfully horrible movie of lies, deceit, and incest. But at least the end the right people won and that evil bitch Sarah Michelle Gellar got what she deserved. Bittersweet Symphony made its debut too!


19. Con-Air: The song was absolutely amazing. It was just a man trying to come home to his wife and daughter. Just a beautiful moment.


18. Rocky: "YO ADRIAN!"


17. Mr and Mrs Smith: This is for those weird, s&m fans who like pain. The scene is totally hot!


16. Sixteen Candles: Not much I need to say about this one.


15. Say Anything: John Cusack with the stereo playing Peter Gabriel's In Your Eyes. At one point in your life you wanted to do that.


14. Wedding Singer: The Grow Old With You skit was classic. First off Billy Idol was the perfect wingman. Two Sandler is always brilliant and finally if you're lady is as hot as Drew Barrymore, I would make an ass out of myself 30,000 feet high.


13. City of Angels: What a romantic scene. The line by Nicholas Cage sure would make all women and some men cry. Plus Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls was introduced. Quality scene matched with an even greater song.


12. Love and Basketball: For a hoops fan, this was sexy. India Arie's voice in the background added to the scene and it makes me want to reenact this scene with you Sue Bird of the Seattle Storm or Becky Hammon. I'm game baby.

Whenever I beat you Sue or Becky, "double or nothin"

11. The Bodyguard: Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston made it happen in this one, plus we hear the sheer brilliance of Whitney with arguably her greatest song ever!


10. The Notebook: Kiss in the rain. Do you really think we'd leave this off? Yes ladies we did sit down and watch this.


9. The Officer and the Gentleman: Richard Gere does it again. This time it wasn't Julia Roberts or a pet hamster or gerbil. I bet there are women out there right now waiting for their men to do this to them.


8. Poetic Justice: 2Pac+Janet=MAGIC! Plus we are introduced to Janet's Again


7. Ghost: Arguably one of the most memorable scenes ever. Plus we are introduced to the Righteous Brothers' Unchained Melody.

Patrick Swayze=A MAN's MAN!

6. Dirty Dancing: Patrick Swayze does it again with one of the most memorable dance numbers in history. BTW, we doin' this on your wedding day MACTINO.

THIS SCENE CHANGED PEOPLE'S LIVES!

5. Robinhood Prince of Thieves: The Bryan Adams song just absolutely sweet movie.


4. My Girl: "The Kiss" Macaulay Culkin was out of his mind adorable. Such a sweet scene.


3. Jerry Macguire: You Complete Me and You Had Me At Hello. Man Tom Cruise is a nutjob now. I miss the Bob Seger singin, fish holdin' airplane flying guy. Not the couch jumper.


2. Karate Kid 2: The fight scene. If Kate Beckinsale was Kumiko then I would fight for her honor eight days a week.


1. Top Gun: What an unforgettable scene, plus Berlin's Take My Breath Away makes its only impact in history.


We hope you enjoyed our top 25. We hope you appreciated it as much as we had. I know we left off some classic scene, but in our mind, this is what stood out. Let the debates begin!
