Air Jordan melo V.5



I needed some new basketball shoes, so this time I bought this pair for 80€ in Footlocker. As it is explained in this sticker in the box, the shoe is a medley between the Air Jordan V and Air Jordan VI. This is the model Carmelo Anthony is wearing this season so they've call them: Air Jordan Melo V.5 Some days later my brother also needed some shoes so instead of the black ones, he got the white version.

It's not common finding Jordan brand shoes for this price so I ended up buying another pair of nike shoes the same day. The Nike Star Classic in black. I ended up wearing those shoes for almost three years in a row.

Jordan did it again!



Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls beat the Utah Jazz in game six of this years NBA finals and close the series with a 4-2 win. Jordan at his best.

Michael Jordan is back




The pre-game of Michael Jordan's first game back after couple of years of retirement. It's glad to see him back this time with the number 45.

Story behind the photo: 
The problem with shooting the NBA slam-dunk contest was that you never knew how the players were going to dunk, especially Jordan. In 1997 he had twirled and dunked with his back to me. But by this time I knew him a little better. As he sat in the stands three hours before the contest, I said, “Michael, can you tell me which way you’re going to go, so I can move and get your face in the picture?” He looked at me as if I were crazy but then said, “Sure. Before I go out to dunk I’ll put my index finger on my knee and point which way I’m going.” I said, “You’re going to remember that?” And he said, “Sure.” So later, when they announced his name, I looked over to him on the bench and there was his finger pointing left. I got up and moved to the right side of the basket so I could see his face. He went left every time he dunked. On his last two dunks he ran the length of the court, took off from the foul line and slammed the ball through. On the next-to-last one he landed in my lap. On the last one I set up in the same spot. He looked at me as if to say, “Go left a little, give me some room this time.” And that was it, the picture was made: 1000th of a second frozen in time.
