And there's the living room paint job to finish up. But before that, there is the silence- a brief moment on the top of the stairs.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, age 20, confirmed that he recently played MJ in a one-on-one and lost. And I love that Jordan used to watch Westerns all the time with his father. It's nice to imagine him watching Unforgiven with his dad and doing all the lines.
