by Jason Hughes, posted Jun 3rd 2011 4:37AM
What would you do if you got a chance to see one of your idols? As detailed on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' (Weeknights, 12AM ET on ABC). Jason Sudeikis got that opportunity with a superstar when he was young, and he did a very savvy thing.His mother was able to get him into a celebrity golf event that Michael Jordan was participating in. According to Sudeikis this was before Jordan won any championships, and so he was far more accessible to the general public.
The shrewd thing was how he got Jordan's autograph on "whatever piece of loose leaf paper I had in my backpack."
LeBron James Picks the Miami Heat: Announcement and Reactions (VIDEO)

Who is the greatest basketball player of all time? Is it Michael Jordan? Kobe Bryant? ... Or is it LeBron James? For the past year, basketball fans have been engaged in wondering where LeBron James would end up. He's clearly one of the finest players of his generation, and he was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers -- a famously terrible basketball team. LeBron is actually from the great state of Ohio, and he started out by playing for his "home" team from Cleveland. But now, his contract is up. And so the greatest current basketball player can move to a different city, if he feels like it.Speculation about LeBron's move was unending. First off, before we even got to LeBron's actual decision, there was constant guessing about what he would do. On tonight's 'Larry King Live' (weeknights, 9PM ET on CNN), Larry had on a couple of so-called "experts," who predicted that LeBron would move to New York. Incorrect! Very incorrect! Still, it's interesting to watch "experts" be immediately proved wrong at something, so that's fun.
Then, LeBron James actually told us what city he was going to. It was presented as a one-hour special on ESPN. (Thu., 9PM ET). Mr. James chose the Miami Heat. Chris Bosh also just joined that team during this free-agent period. So it'll be James, Bosh, and guard Dwayne Wade on the team.
Jimmy Kimmel Shatters a Basketball Backboard (VIDEO)

It is the dream of every red-blooded male to smash a basketball backboard in his lifetime. Or at least, that's the dream of Jimmy Kimmel -- and he counts as a red-blooded male, right?On 'Jimmy Kimmel Live: Game Night,' (Sun., 7PM ET on ABC), the host lives out his hoop dreams by shattering a plexiglass backboard. By doing this, he joins the ranks of such famed b-ball players as Michael Jordan and Shaquille O'Neal. Awesome job, Jimmy Kimmel, way to go!
But sadly, Kimmel seems to have gotten a little help in his quest. For one thing, the basketball hoop looks like it's about five feet tall -- not the required ten feet. And not that we're doubting Jimmy's athletic prowess or anything, but the backboard breaks suspiciously easily ... almost as if it had been specially altered or something.
Ashton Kutcher Talks About Michael Jordan's "Hitler Mustache" (VIDEO)
by Oliver Miller, posted Jun 7th 2010 1:35AM
Ashton Kutcher appeared on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live: Game Night' (Sun., 7PM ET on ABC), where he discussed the important topic of Michael Jordan's new mustache. Ex-basketball player Jordan appeared in a recent Hanes underwear commercial, in which he was sporting a decidedly "Adolph Hitler" style of facial hair. Neither Kutcher nor Jimmy Kimmel were in favor of this.As a big photo of Mr. Jordan appeared behind him, Ashton said this: "What's the deal with the Hitler mustache?!" Good question. Here is our theory -- which is also shared by Jimmy Kimmel -- Michael Jordan is just testing the waters to see if there's any way that he can make himself unpopular. After all, everyone likes Michael Jordan. So maybe he can get away with wearing the world's most questionable mustache. Or maybe not.
Common Forges Michael Jordan's Autograph, Spells Name Wrong (VIDEO)

While interning as a ball boy for the Chicago Bulls in 1984, Common was once asked by fans to get the autograph of basketball legend Michael Jordan, but Jordan instructed Common to forge his signature, he said on 'The Wendy Williams Show' (weekdays, syndicated).Smells like celebrity spirit

Every celebrity has a fragrance nowadays. I mean, you
would expect people like Jennifer Lopez and Maria Sharapova to have their own fragrance. But Alan Cumming? Celine Dion?
Paris Hilton? Michael Jordan?Slate dives into the sweet smelling waters of celebrity perfumes and colognes. I like the description of Cumming (yes, yes, yes, insert you own joke here): "a witty, rather macho blend of bergamot, black pepper, Scotch pine, whiskey, peet, and white truffle that belies the star's epicine image."
I'd like to have a cologne of my own, but it would probably be an unappealing mixture of cheese pizza, Reese's peanut butter cups, and newspaper ink.
