By February 11, 2019No Comments

Why aren’t sneakers ever brought up in the argument of who is the GOAT of basketball? Jordans are WAY cooler than Lebrons and Kobes, right? Jokes aside, to celebrate the birthdays of two all-time greats, Michael Jordan and Bill Russell, Tom and Nick give life to a conversation that may be a bit worn out.
