MICHAEL JORDAN LOSES TO CEO IN A 1-ON-1 GAME!

Not a hoax. Not a trick. Not an ad. It's the real thing.

Michale Jordan hosts a camp for CEO's, actors and other wealthy people who have enough dough to play with Jordan himself, instead of just playing Jordan on their PS3's.

In one such camp a couple of years ago, a mutual fund CEO beat him in a game of 1-on-1. Jordan wasn't playing serious but he wasn't throwing the game away either.

It's a hell of a game, the kind which makes us all believe that anything is possible.

  

FINALLY, BARGNANI!

Andrea Bargnani was the first European drafted #1. In the 3 or so years since then, he has been labeled soft, "Europeanish" and a "bust".

A highlight dunk like this reminds you of why he was drafted #1.

IM CONFUSED!

I'm pretty sure it's just the 3rd week of the season and yet...why are tempers flaring, tension running high and fights breaking out?

Take this Rockets-Suns game. I know they have a history but come on! It's the third week!

FRANZ REICHELT JUMPS!


This is what happened.

ONE OF THE FIRST EVER BASE JUMPING ATTEMPTS IN HISTORY.

Franz Reichelt, a tailor by profession, invented an outfit which would allow a person to float safely down from a building. 

In 1912, he set out to test his invention by jumping from the Eiffel Tower.

Can you guess what happened?

AND ON ELECTION DAY...

Obama had a good game eclipsed only by his landslide presidential victory.

As reported by CNN.
