Just like pretty much everyone around the world, The Hoop Doctors grew up with Michael Jackson playing a large role in our early lives. From our parents playing the Jackson 5 records, to our own following of Michael’s career as he developed his solo musical career. I was shocked today in hearing Michael Jackson had a heart attack and was rushed to an LA hospital. But it was downright upsetting to hear that one of our childhood heroes passed away at such a young age. At only 50 years old, MJ was about to embark on a new tour overseas. We want to share our love for MJ and pass on our condolences to his family and friends. You will be missed. You touched us all. When I think about how much of a visionary the man was with the song ‘We are the World’ and all the money he raised for charities. His star power was unparalleled, and he truly was one of the most popular people to ever live.
Since this is a basketball site, i’ll leave you with one of my favorite videos of Michael Jackson, as he team’s up with Michael Jordan to make the video JAM:
