What do you do when your birthday is coming, you are wealthy, you live in the Philippines and you love basketball? Well Filipino tycoon Manuel V. Pangilinan. MVP, as he’s known in Manila, turned 65 in July and celebrated by hiring nine NBA players to fly to the Philippines for a series of exhibition games. He had a list of players he wanted, (Rose, Durant, Kobe, Chris Paul) and a disputed amount he was willing to pay per player…$400,000. To ensure a packed house, the organizers deliberately kept ticket prices low. Court side seats were sold at the box office for $129 and general admission tickets for about $8. Take that NBA!

In honor of Shaquille O’Neal saying goodbye to his legendary 19 year career, we decided to share one of our favorite moments. January 12, 2002, Lakers v. Bulls in Chicago. Shaq attempts to remove Brad Millers head from his body with one horribly aimed haymaker. Ron Artest, Charles Oakley, Greg Anthony, Kobe, P-Jax, Robert Horry, and Derek Fisher with hair, all join in on the fun.

Back in 91′ Michael Jordan carved up the Rockets for 34 points. Amazingly Kenny Smith was the Rockets leading scorer(25), and the Rockets won….by 10. You also can’t take Vernon Maxwell anywhere, always fighting.

Marc Hochman does a Chris Bosh medley to an 80s classic. Make it to the end of this and you truly love basketball.

“We Remember” Collection continues with a tribute to the Rasheed Abdul Wallace! If you haven’t seen the We Remeber: Allen Iverson mix….what are you waiting for!!!

Michael Jordan was still years away from his rings but was well aware of marketing, and self promotion.

Decked out in a infrared wind-breaker, 23 year-old MJ came on Letterman to talk about his Geography degree from University of North Carolina, his sponsors, and recovering from his broken foot.

At the 5:11 mark Michael Jordan claims he was fined for his Air Jordan sneakers not having “white” in them. David Letterman responds with “Well neither does the NBA.” then Letterman throws the sneaker into the windows. *Priceless*
