Then he said, "You remember that, Stock?" And Stockton sat there with a look of disbelief.

He asked Stockton if he remembered that conversation, prompting the second-greatest reaction shot of the weekend. (The first was Beyonce's how-did-I-get-dragged-into-this? expression following Kanye's mike-grab from Taylor Swift.) Stockton looked as if he had no recollection of that discussion at all, and I wouldn't be surprised if it never actually happened.<br /><br />Jordan has made stuff up before, most notably when he claimed Bullets rookie LaBradford Smith said, "Nice game, Mike," after lighting up His Airness for 37 points. Jordan returned fire with 36 points in the first half against Smith the next time they played. Years later, he confessed Smith never said anything to him."<br /><br />Hmmmmmm.Tucker McCannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09669402261761814260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661363167240819401.post-45780606101918703672009-09-14T11:00:29.846-07:002009-09-14T11:00:29.846-07:00Stockton's face when Jordan mentioned BRuss wa...Stockton's face when Jordan mentioned BRuss was incredible.

It is like Golden Griff making us watch his 1997 Football Highlight video everytime we see him.<br /><br />Move on MJ.
