↵So yesterday, there was late breaking “news” that Michael Jordan has been sighted in Orem (where the Utah Flash happen to play).

It made the Herald Extra, the local paper, and lit up the interwebs despite Arash Markazi’s having Russell himself deny the rumor.↵

↵⇥During halftime, a Michael Jordan look-alike came onto the court. Realizing they had been duped, the fans booed and threw said T-shirts onto the court. The crowd was described as “catatonic.”↵↵Read the rest of this entry >>↵
