Michael Jordan donates $1 million to Portland hospital

Michael Jordan, the icon behind Nike’s most successful brand, donated $1 million to Portland’s Providence Heart Institute to establish a cardiac disease center. Jordan’s seven-figure donation will be used to establish a cardiac amyloidosis center named after another Nike great, Howard “H” White, who received a heart transplant from the hospital several years ago.

More on this storyline

Shannon Sharpe: Who’s your GOAT? Karl-Anthony Towns: Like I said I’m always going to speak what I see with my own two eyes. I can’t speak for everything, I wouldn’t be able to but man that man Bron he’s different. That man Bron… something special. I’ve been in the league for 10 years so I’ve seen Bron in so many different stages. I feel LeBron’s the best player we’ve ever seen talent-wise. I think he’s the best player, now if you want to get caught up in championships and rings and all that stuff, that’s up to people to debate. But when we just talk about pure talent and tangible size, like to be the best basketball player you got to have all these different things, and look how he’s done it with the scrutiny and the criticism and everything, I mean Bron’s the best player we’ve seen. He has both hands, now he’s developed that three-point shot really well, defended at a high level for all those years, athleticism was… I don’t know the best you got in the NFL, I don’t know can still jump as high as the way he was doing. Competitiveness, got the wins… Bron is the best basketball player we’ve ever seen talent-wise. -via YouTube / October 7, 2024

Trump is not the only person Barnes would welcome. Barnes and Jackson would also welcome the GOAT, Michael Jordan on the program for a sit down as their guest. “Man…. I hope MJ, you know,” he tells Scoop B Radio. “I hope so. And even if it’s not our show and it’s somebody else’s show, we just want to hear him. We want to hear his stories. We had the chance to sit down with Dominique Wilkins and he had a bunch of GREAT Jordan stories so I would love to just hear Mike talk so hopefully it’s All the Smoke but if it’s not us… anybody. -via ScoopB.com / October 6, 2024

Does that still rank behind 85, 88 and 90, though? Dominique Wilkins: “It definitely ranks with [Michael] Jordan and me. I have to give the young fella his credit with that. His performance blew everybody else away. It wasn’t even close. We had a lot of great dunkers in that dunk contest that Mike and I were in. But what Vince did in that contest? After his second or third dunk, it was pretty much over. It was pretty much over.” -via SportsKeeda / September 27, 2024
