Omg, I would LOVE to see that. xD

I thought they could have been more creative with his name. But I guess Michael Jordan references are easy to get.

I would have appreciated "Russell Williams" more...

Anything other than a Michael Jordan reference would have been lost on a lot of people, including myself, as he's the only basketball player I know, and that's only because I saw Space Jam. XD

Yeah, seriously, lol! If Jordan didn't sound like a little kid whining to his dad in that scene, and Wilt didn't sound just like a parent too tired to argue taking the easy route and giving in, I don't like spiders! The way that Wilt patiently showed the younger Jordan how to shoot a basket, how to hold the ball properly, and so forth, was just like a dad showing his kid how to do something, whether it was playing basketball or riding his first bike. Same goes for when Jordan tells Wilt that Wilt was his hero, and that he's responsible for Jordan becoming the better person that he is, rather than a better basketball player. In the past, that role of really shaping the character of a young boy into a decent man fell upon his father, or other male adult role model if the father was dead, and that's why so many young boys eventually wind up in trouble and become criminals-they have no father figures to guide them and teach them things like character. Even that good-natured ribbing there at the end, when Wilt and Jordan are playing basketball and Wilt is winning by a huge margin, suggests the sort of dynamic I used to see between fathers and their now-adult sons. I can recall my father and grandfather having similar little challenges, usually about working on a car or fixing something, since neither were into playing sports.

I kinda think Jordan was just messing with Wilt when he said that. XD

Yeah, he did-a kid with a receding hairline! I think he was using an old trick that probably used to work with Wilt(most of the time, anyway)back when he really was a little kid, and you could see that Wilt's immediate reaction was like, "PLEASE, no more WHINING...I'll do anything you say...just don't WHINE!"
