Ali and Jordan
September 17, 200917 Sept 2009
I was checking out some old newspaper clippings from our scrap book, and I thought this was a good one to share:
That's us in the bottom right cornerI never actually saw Liston going down, because I had turned to Mel and asked if she wanted me to go get her a Cherry Coke since the fight had just started, then BAM, Liston was down. Maybe she remembers what happened, I don't know.
Apparently nobody else saw it either, because later, the press speculated Ali laid Liston out with a "phantom punch", which is probably why I missed it.

Here's one I found from the 1988 Slam Dunk contest:
That's us on the side lineWhen Jordan took off from the foul line, I was like, "Oh no he ain't!" A lot of people don't know this, but it actually took Michael two tries to dunk from the free throw line; he missed the first one.
Tai and Mel in history, tai, MEL, Muhammad Ali, Sonny Liston
