Drudge linked to an article this week from the guy who pulls links for The Browser (of the Financial Times) who said something to the effect that 'only 1% of the writing on the internet is worth reading.  but that 1% is an embarrassment of riches'.

This article, by the extremely talented Wright Thompson, about Michael Jordan at 50, is in the top tenth of that 1 percent, even if you are a Pistons fan (like myself) and despised him growing up.

It's that good.

(Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go worry about Mahorn or Laimbeer coming to get me for this.)
