Legendary basketball player Michael Jordan filed for a marriage license yesterday (Thursday, March 7) in Palm Beach County. Jordan turned 50 last month and is expected to marry his 34-year-old Cuban-American model Yvette Prieto.
At the La Gorce Country Club in Miami, Florida, the rules apply to everyone. Even the greatest basketball player of all time.
Kobe Bryant made a pretty bold statement a few days ago when he said this year's men's Olympic basketball team could beat the 'Dream Team' from 20 years ago. The 1992 team included players like Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley and one Mr. Larry Bird. Larry responded to Kobe on the Indiana Pacers Twitter page.
Looks like Michael Jordan will have to move one of those NBA championship rings to make room for a different kind of a ring — a wedding ring.
The basketball legend, 48, is engaged to his girlfriend of three years, 32-year-old Cuban model Yvette Prieto.
The folks at the blog Letters of Note have gotten hold of a charming, and grammatically flawed, love letter written by an 18-year old Michael Jordan to a young lady named Laquette.
In the handwritten (in cursive!) note, penned as Jordan sat in high school chemistry class, the future NBA legend apologizes for a misstep and concedes, "I made you look pretty rotten after the last night." His Airness also addresses a romantic issue that many basketball players deal with when he admits he is "finally getting use to going with a girl much smaller than I."
