Derek Jeter is considered one of the best to ever do it all while wearing a Yankees uniform throughout his 20-year career. Looking to seize the moment, Michael Jordan decided to write Derek Jeter a sincere letter shows how much he admires the man Derek Jeter is.

Jordan and Jeter have been friends since 1994 when Michael Jordan decided to take a sab at baseball.

?We first met when I was in Arizona Fall League, when he was playing baseball. MJ is like a brother to me; our relationship has grown throughout the years, and he?s like an older brother I never had,? Jeter told the YES Network in 2014. ?We?ve had a lot of conversations about life and about competing, both on and off the field or court.?

The friendship that spans three decades has created a lot of love, admiration, respect between the two. If you’d like to read Michael Jordan’s full letter published to The Players? Tribune you can do so below. You can also expect coverage of Jeter?s ceremony to begin on today at 6:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.

Derek,
A legacy is built by more than what is seen. It is not given, it is earned.
Beyond your 20 years in the Majors and an endless list of accolades, it was your love and respect for the game that set you apart.
Your pursuit of greatness on and off the field has set the standard for others to follow.
Much RE2PECT on cementing your legacy and having your No. 2 jersey retired.
Congratulations.
Your friend,
Michael

The Just Don x Air Jordan 2 Pink was this weekend’s biggest release. Unfortunately for many, it was a grade-school and kid’s size exclusive. Many of us (who wear size 8.5 or above) were forced to take an L this time around, or were we? There appears to be a plot twist because not it seems like there are men’s sizes of the Just Don x Air Jordan 2 Pink.

The reason we say this is because Don C took to his IG to announce details for his LA-based Jordan pop-up shop located at 905 S. Hill Street and he mentioned something very interesting regarding the Just Don x Air Jordan 2 Pink in men’s sizes.

Release info and details of the Air Jordan 2 Alumni continue to remain a mystery. Will it release on its own? Will it release as a part of the Air Jordan x Converse Pack? We don’t have those answers yet, but what we do know is that it’s on its way.

The Air Jordan 2 Alumni is a special version of the Jordan 2 that takes time to pay tribute to the classic North Carolina vs. UCLA Alumni Game at Pauley Pavilion on June 28, 1987. Micheal Joran (along with other NBA stars such as James Worthy, Kenny Smith and Reggie Miller) played in that game, which took place after Jordan’s third year in the NBA. During that game, Michael Jordan decided to wear this special version of the Air Jordan 2 version which was known back then as the Air Jordan 2 UNC PE.  The Air Jordan 2 Alumni comes in a White, Varsity Red and Black color scheme. Giving it that UNC feel is the Carolina Blue noted on the heel tab of the shoe. Special detailing which was not on the PE version include the special branding on the heels that reads, ?MJ? and ?6/28/87? as a nod to the date the UNC vs. ULCA Alumni game was played. Scheduled to release sometime in June for $190, stay tuned as more info begins to surface.
