MJ’s Cons Go To Auction

ESPN and Darren Rovell are reporting that a pair of old, worn 1980’s Converse basketball shoes are going to Auction in the United States, and the bidding starts at over $5,000!  The catch? they were worn by His Airness, Michael Jordan, during the 1984 Olympic Games Gold Medal match.

ROOKIE WATCH: MARCUS SMART (BOSTON CELTICS)

Following on from Nick C’s opening Julius Randle Rookie feature, I have decided to choose new Boston Celtics draftee Marcus Smart.
