Michael Jordan chose David Thompson to present him as he is inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame this Friday, even though MJ never played for or with Thompson. It is very surprising that Michael chose David Thompson , former NBA star, and known for his days coaching at Georgetown, in which in the 82' National Championship Michael hit the game winning shot to boost the North Carolina Tarheels over the Georgetown Hoyas. Jordan highlights a class that includes David Robinson, John Stockton, and coaches Jerry Sloan of the Utah Jazz and C. Vivian Stringer of Rutgers. Each was asked to select a previous inductee to serve as a presenter at Friday's ceremony at Springfield, Mass. Jordan went with a surprise by asking Thompson, the athletic swingman who led North Carolina State to the national championship in 1974 — eight years before. Barkley will present David Sloan coach of the Utah Jazz, Isiah Thomas will present Utah Jazz point guard John Stockton. Vivian Stringer coach of Rutgers Women's team will be presented by John Chaney, were the two became friends at Chaney State divsion II basketball. Each Hall of Famer was asked to choose another Hall of Famer to induct them. Good choices, but of course the night will belong to Michael Jordan even though no one will admit it. In my opinion he should of been inducted seperately, just because of what he has done for the game of basketball. MJ is definitely the G.O.A.T. hands down, bar none.
