I decided to sit down my daughter and two sons to watch this man be honored by the Hall of Fame and tell them about how much this man impacted me as a kid growing up. The sneakers, commercials, tank tops, posters, SI covers, etc....and as we sat there listening, i got that same empty feeling. <br> <br>And then it hit me, i have NEVER sat down my daughter and two sons to tell them how the greatest Person ever came to earth to die for me and how that has impacted my life. <br> <br>I haven't taken my autographed MJ picture down in my office.....yet. But thank you MJ, for exposing my heart and my priorities. As you Justin, MJ was my hero growing up, and in my opinion the greatest basketball player to ever play the game.

How sad it must be to be limited to such a one-dimensional existence. DR is a class act and the definition of "role model."

I so only snippets of MJ's talk and it was strange. Until here I did not see any of DR's. A few weeks ago I almost used a quote by DR in a sermon where he said he watched MJ embrace the first championship trophy the Bulls won "as if a piece of metal would validate a life." He didn't miss the point much did he? And that was years ago! Even though I am not a basketball fan, I have always admired the Admiral for his stand, his example and his faith. Sad MJ missed out on what really counts but good for DR that he knows. Justin: great article! I so only snippets of MJ's talk and it was strange. Until here I did not see any of DR's.
