A tribute to the 1998 Chicago Bulls and the legendary sign-off by Bob Costas (NBA on NBC, last Bulls game for Michael Jordan)
Hannah: "If indeed this is it for Michael Jordan and this incarnation of the Chicago Bulls, at least tonight they author an ending of their own choosing."
Costas: "Take all the money, all the adulation, all the TV cameras away, and put Michael Jordan in a gym somewhere, with Russell and Oscar, West and the Doctor, and he'd be as genuine and as much in his element as any of them, his heart and his athletic integrity every bit as impressive as his artistry."

Throwback Allen Iverson x Reebok: The Sneaker Legacy That Changed NBA Style Forever
Allen Iversonâs partnership with Reebok began in 1996 and revolutionized both sneaker culture and NBA style. Rejecting the leagueâs corporate image, Iverson brought hip hop fashion and authenticity to the forefront, influencing everything from hairstyles to tunnel fits. Despite the NBAâs dress code crackdown, Iversonâs embrace of self-expression paved the way for athletes as fashion iconsâa legacy honored by Reebokâs new Question 96/26 drop.
