jordan: 'I could have scored 100 points' in today's NBA

In the buildup to the release of the NBA 2K11 video game, Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan (who is prominently featured in the game, and in the advertising hyping up the game), sat down with USA Today's Game Hunters blog to discuss Michael Jordan.
This snippet stood out:

How has the game changed from your playing days?
It's less physical and the rules have changed, obviously. Based on these rules, if I had to play with my style of play, I'm pretty sure I would have fouled out or I would have been at the free throw line pretty often and I could have scored 100 points.

Yeah.
Michael Jordan's the greatest player ever. His presence on my hometown team is the reason I do what I do for a living, and I'd be one of the dozens to go broke in betting against him. But I'm betting against him. He wouldn't have gotten 100. He needed overtime to make it to 69 points, once, and that was his career high.
And, yes, in a league with a few more possessions per game, and in a world without overt hand-checking, yes, Michael Jordan would have scored more in this era than he actually did in the 1980s and 1990s.
But he wouldn't have scored 100. Why? Because Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game was an absolute farce.
[Related Video: Kobe drafts MJ to the Lakers]
Wilt was a 7-2 dominant force going up against a 6-10 backup center on the New York Knicks back in 1962. He was able to put up 63 shots and attempt 32 free throws mainly because the pace was so, so much faster back in that era, and because his Philadelphia Warriors team was intentionally fouling the Knicks down the stretch in order to get Wilt the ball every time down court in a contest that was a 16-point game at the end of the first quarter.
It was an absolute joke of a "contest," and though Wilt is to be commended for his brilliance, there's a reason why nobody has come very close in the 48 years since Wilt's 100-point game.
The closest? Kobe Bryant(notes), in a performance that I think was more impressive than Wilt's, mainly because he wasn't a man amongst boys (just an MVP-level performer, playing against a pretty crummy team in the Toronto Raptors), and because 90 percent of his points came in competitive action. His Lakers (beyond Kobe, they were very, very bad back then) were losing through 2 1/2 quarters, and until the final couple of minutes, the Lakers needed every one of Kobe's 81 points.
On top of that, Bryant made 7-13 3-pointers on his way to 81. That's the quickest way toward 100, these days, and Jordan was never much of a 3-point shooter -- 29 percent career, when you take away the nearly 2 1/2 seasons Jordan played with the shorter 22-foot 3-point line. Sure, hand-checks would send you to the line more often, but that many times? Enough to get to 100?
It's OK to "just" be the best ever, MJ. It's OK to be the all-around player you were. And it's OK to wonder if you could top Kobe's 81. But 100 points? Who cares? Wilt's night was impressive, but it was an aberration. A freak show. A gimmick, and not entirely the proudest moment in this league's history (again, the Warriors fouled the Knicks to get the ball back!).

MSHINDI WA TATU WA MILIONI KUMI ZA SUPA PESA APATIKANA!

Mshindi wa tatu wa Milioni Kumi, Dr. Licky Abdallah mwenye umri  wa miaka 52, wa bahati nasibu ya kipekee ya SUPA PESA amekabidhiwa hundi ya fedha hizo leo jijini Dar es salaam.

Dr. Licky Abdallah ambaye ni mkazi wa Dar es Salaam, ni mkurugenzi wa kampuni ya Malagarasi Tours and Safaris na pia ni mchambuzi maarufu wa wa mpira wa mguu (soka ) hapa jijini. Alipokea hundi hiyo kwa furaha na kusema kwamba alikuwa akichukulia kama utani pale ambapo alisikia kuhusu droo hii ya Supa Pesa na kushiriki kama utani.

‘Ilitokea kama bahati kubwa pale ambapo nilipigiwa simu na kituo cha radio  Clouds FM kujulishwa kuhusu ushindi wangu. Kiukweli nilijawa na furaha sana. Pesa hizi nitaziongezea kwenye mtaji wa biashara yangu na pia kumtunuku zawadi binti yangu ambaye alinishawishi kushiriki droo hii ya Supa Pesa.’ Alisema Dr. Licky.

Msemaji wa Supa Pesa, Bi. Natasha Issa, kwenye zoezi la kumkabidhi mshindi huyo hundi yake, amesema kwamba washindi wanazidi kumiminika kila siku kutoka kila kona ya Tanzania. Aliwataka watanzania wengi zaidi  kushiriki droo hii ambapo kila siku kunapatikana washindi watatu wa milioni moja, na Mshindi mmoja wa Milioni Kumi kila wiki.

Bi. INatasha aliongezea kwa kusema,‘Kushiriki droo ya Supa Pesa ni rahisi, inahitaji kutuma ujumbe mfupi wenye neno SUPA kwenda namba 15777. Hii inakuwezesha wewe kuingia moja kwa moja kwenye ushindani wa shilingi milioni moja kila sikui na ukishiriki kutuma Ujumbe mfupi wa simu zaidi ya mara nne basi utakuwa kati ya washindani wa milioni kumi kila wiki,’

Kijana wa kijiweni alala maskini na kuamka tajiri na SUPA Pesa!

Kijana wa kijiweni Kibwana Kigandu, amebahatika kushinda shilingi milioni 1 na bahati nasibu ya sms ya kipekee SUPA Pesa siku chache zilizopita.

Kijana huyo amedai kuwa alisikia kuhusu bahati nasibu hiyo kupitia redio ya Clouds fm akaona ajaribu bahati yake ingawa hakuwa na matumaini makubwa ya kushinda. Kwa kuwa kipato chake cha siku ni kidogo sana na kinategemea na kazi atakayoipata kwa siku Kibwana bado hakukata tamaa, kwa siku tatu mfululizo  aliwekeza zaidi ya nusu ya hicho kipato kwenye kucheza SUPA pesa. “Nilikuwa nikiweka elfu tano saa nyingine elfu mbili ila maximum nilikua nikiweka elfu sita nanilikuwa nikituma  message kwa wingi kama ishirini hivi kwa siku. Kwa kusema kweli ni mara yangu ya kwanza kushika mil1 mkononi mwangu nimefurahi sana kwa sababu kwa kazi nilizokuwa nafanya kwa siku naweza kupata elfu 2 au elfu 5 au kutopata kabisa, hivyo hii ni kama ndoto!”

Alipoulizwa  ana matarajio ya kufanyia nini pesa alizoshinda Kibwana alisema “Sijawa na uhakika kamili nataka kufanya nini mpaka sasa ila nina wazo la kutaka kufanya biashara hata ya piki piki au bajaj kama zitakua na thamani hii ya pesa nilizozipata nitanunua na kuanza biashara hiyo, lakini ningependa kurudi

Mama wa kidosi akimnyonyesha ndama wake,ni mapenzi makubwa kwa wanyama au ni balaa

The way anavomuhusidu ndama huyu mpaka anampakata kama kichanga..

TAMKO LANGU KUHUSU MOVIE YA FAMILY DISASTER

Msingi mkuu wa Taifa ni jamii zilizostawi barabara,ambazo nazo hujengwa na familia imara zilizo katika himaya ya mihimili mikuu miwili;yaani baba na mama,walioungana kwa ndoa sahihi kulingana na jamii husika.Msingi huu mkuu; familia ikistawi vema hufanya kila uzao utokao hapo kuwa ni imara na wa kupigiwa mfano,hii ina maana kuwa watoto watakuwa na tabia zilizotukuka na zinazozaa maadili mema yanayowafanya wawe kioo cha Taifa popote walipo.Na kwa upande mwingine, msingi huu mkuu ukishindwa kutekeleza majukumu yake sawa sawa, inakuwa ni sawa na chumvi iliyoharibika huwezi kuitia kitu chochote ikakolea na kuvutia.

Kipindi cha tangu kuzaliwa mwana mpaka kufikia umri wa kwenda shule, huwa ni kipindi cha matunzo kwa mwana; anatunzwa kwa ajili ya kufikia utu uzima aweze kujitegemea akiwa katika afya njema tayari kukabiliana na majukumu ya utu uzima.Kwa upande mwingine, kipindi cha malezi huanza pale watoto wanapofikia umri wa miaka kumi na ziada,kwani hapo mtoto anakuwa tayari kwa maandalizi ya kuwa mtu mzima. Kipindi hiki huwa kinamfanya mtoto kuwa mdadisi mno kwa kila kitu anachokiona hususani yale yanayohusiana na mambo ya kimahusiano; kipindi hiki ni kipindi muhimu sana kwa wazazi na watoto kwani inatakiwa kuwa karibu sana kuliko kipindi chochote kwani watoto wana matarajio makubwa sana kutoka kwa wazazi wao kwa kila wanachohitaji kukijua,na kwa kuwa wazazi tayari wameshashuhudia kipindi kama hicho inakuwa rahisi kwao kuwaelekeza,kinyume chake mambo yatakuwa mabaya kuliko inavyofikiriwa.

FAMILY DISASTER ni kisa kinachoonesha jinsi wazazi wanaposhindwa kukubali kuyatwaa majukumu yao na kuharibu kabisa ustawi wa familia zao.Wazazi kwa kuthamini sana nafsi zao kuliko za watoto wao,wanajikuta wakivutana badala ya kuwalea watoto wao,kitu ambacho kinasababisha watoto hao kukosa kupata malezi ya mambo muhimu na kujikuta wakiiga tabia mabya kutoka kwa majirani,marafiki na watu wengine wasio na maadili, kwasababu ustawi wa familia haupo.Sina maana mbaya kutengeneza filamu hii, Maana yangu ni nzuri tu nia ni kuelimisha jamii .Kuhusu kuvaa nguo fupi ni jinsi story inavyotaka maana hawa watoto wameigiza kama watukutu waliokosa maadili.Wadau nisimalize uhondo nataka mtambue kitu kimoja katika maisha kuwa huwezi kujifunza kitu bila kukosea .Nina uhakika tena mkubwa sana filamu hii itakuwa fundisho kubwa kwa wazazi na watoto wote wasiokuwa na maadili. Naomba tusubiri wadau.

Taylor Swift's Ex-Manager Sues for Millions

With Rihanna appearing with fiery red hair and sitting front row at the latest runway show of Miu Miu in Paris on Wednesday, Oct. 6, it came as something of a surprise that the entire thrust of the collection was a commentary on the vapidity of contemporary celebrity culture and the emptiness of the global media star system.

Half the looks in this show, staged in a circus style tent inside the beautiful French Renaissance square of Palais Royal, had one-foot wide stars in shiny leather sewn on them.
"It's my comment on the trash and vulgarity of our epoch's obsession with celebrity, and people's little dreams of becoming one," said Miuccia Prada backstage.
Miu Miu, the more arty and eccentric, though frequently equally influential collection designed by Prada, has always mixed trashy elements into its sophisticated, yet subversive, mix. But never so much as in this season.
The look was brash, yet somehow purposeful. Asking women to wear clothes whose inspiration was an acid commentary on our times is a tall order. Yet, Prada succeeded in doing just that with multi-pleated sheath dresses, made in striking hues or dramatic prints, always in viscose, or leather biker jackets with classic motifs. Prada is such an exceptional designer that she can suggest striking cultural references, subvert them with a dismissive attitude and still make a cool collection of clothes.
This has been the least body conscious season in Europe in terms of silhouette in a half decade, and the Miu Miu shape, cut above the knee and loosely draped, was the best representation of the current easy zeitgeist.
