I knew you guys could wait to see the HEAT, I would bring after last weeks post! Well the moment you've been waiting for has FINALLY arrived. This week I have two ICONIC moments that happened on this very date March 19th that would change the sneaker game FOREVER!!
March 19, 1995
Michael Jordan has his first game out of his 17 month retirement from the NBA against the Indiana Pacers in front of a soldout crowd at Market Square Arena. Jordan finished with 19 points in 43 minutes, and the Bulls loss in overtime 103-96. The game was televised on NBC and had 35 million viewers making it the most watched regular season game in NBA history. Jordan wore number 45 this game and wore the CHICAGO BULLS 10's that ironically are releasing again later this month.
March 19, 1997
A promising rookie from Georgetown University by the name of Allen Iverson, made a name for himself and start to an iconic career by doing the UNTHINKABLE!! Allen Iverson was known for his killer crossover, however NO-ONE ever did it to the greatest NBA player ever Michael Jordan until now. Iverson finished with 37 points and put the rest of the world on notice for years to come. He played in arguably one of the greatest Reebok sneakers Ever!! The Reebok Questions are still a hot sneaker in today's sneaker game, and remains a top three seller for Reebok of all time due 100%
to this guy.
