![“I remember watching Mike [Michael Jordan]. I remember him having a royal blue blazer and all black t-shirt and he came out of a blue Corvette. That was dope to us. We were like, 'Yo, Michael killed today.' He didn't even talk to the media and walked straight into the arena. Everyday's like Mike.” quote by Iman Shumpert](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/0b8/iman-shumpert-2849_all-black_i-remember-watching-mike-michael-jordan_701419.jpg)
