    by Yetundejones: Michael Jordan

    Forty-two years since Michael Jordan first put on a Chicago Bulls jersey for an NBA game, and the debut line still reads wild: 16 points on 5-of-16 shooting, 6 rebounds, 6-of-7 from the line, plus 7 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks. What came after is history. Credit NBAHistory for the footage, which has Bradley getting back on defense and Corzine finishing a Jordan pass. #MichaelJordan
