Video of the Day: Michael Jordan vs. Kenny Rogers – Vintage ‘88

July 6, 2009 – Dr. J-Water

When you think of basketball legend Michael Jordan and country music legend Kenny Rogers, you wouldn’t really think the two would have anything in common right? Wrong.

In this classic vintage footage found by You Been Blinded from 1988, Michael Jordan takes Kenny Rogers to school in the ‘Kenny Rogers Classic Weekend’ basketball game. But don’t count old Kenny out too early. As you will witness in the video, Kenny gives a Mike a couple nice pump fakes, and even serves up some sweet no look dishes to teammates.

It’s because Kenny knows when to hold ‘em and when to fold ‘em. Guy is awesome. Who knew he could play ball. HAHA

Hey there,

My name is Hannah and I’ve found your website through google.

I was just about to give-up in actually finding what I am looking for, cause all the first results were populated with crap or even unrelated results.

Luckily there you were in sitting right in the middle of page two and I was wondering what the heck is he doing here?

So even though in my opinion (and probably 90% of everyone else who searched for it) you should be positioned on spot #1, you are not.

As they say, google works in mysterious ways, lol. But they’re not that mysterious as some tend to believe. If you’re interested, look here at http://www.matchlinger.com and see how I gained #1 Google Rankings.

Cheers,
Hannah
