How did just about everything get compared to Michael Jordan? Yes, I know Michael was an amazing athlete, but he ain’t Jesus. He’s never risen from the dead, so why if something or someone is at the pinnacle in their career or field, they’re the Michael Jordan of…

Jay-Z calls himself the Mike Jordan of recording in his song, Show Me What You Got. When Tiger Woods came on the golfing scene, he was dubbed the Michael Jordan of golf. The Los Angeles Galaxy soccer team just signed David Beckham, who some have called as the Michael Jordan of soccer. So where does it all end?

Is Katt Williams the Michael Jordan of stand up comedy? After all, he’s at the top of his game as far as stand up comedians go today. Is Erica Kane the Michael Jordan of soap opera vixens? Is Marcus, the employee of the month 5 months in a row at my local McDonalds the Michael Jordan of fry cooks? Was the chick who came on the Maury show for 7 separate paternity tests the Michael Jordan of not knowing who her baby’s daddy is? The world may never know.
My response: Hey, it’s better to be Jordanized than to be Sam Bowied.
