Celtics approached Chicago about Michael Jordan

Krause, in an interview before he passed, echoed the sentiment, noting, “I must have lost my memory because I don’t remember talking to ML about that subject.” The story that Forsberg remembered? Carr is quoted as saying that “I just threw the idea up one time on the phone. (Krause) probably thought I was crazy. The offer is out there.” -via Celtics Wire / February 19, 2023

“LeBron,” Iverson starts, “is the best overall basketball player that we will ever see in life. Like we will never see… Like if you look in the dictionary, you could look up ‘basketball player’ and it would be a picture of LeBron.” However, while Iverson acknowledges that James is a prototypical NBA player, he also admits that there’s a sentimental factor in why he wouldn’t want to say anyone besides MJ is the best player ever. “Mike was everything to me,” Iverson tells Spears. “He gave me vision. He made me want to play basketball. He’s my everything. Like I wanted to actually be like him… I’m still star-stuck every time I see him…He’s Mike to me. He’s, my guy. So, there will never be no one at the top of my list besides Mike.” “But LeBron is just everything you want in a basketball player, he concedes.” -via Clutch Points / February 19, 2023
