This doesn't exactly qualify as breaking news, but what M.J. did 23 years ago was certainly shattering:



This happened in Trieste (Italy) August 25 of 1986, in a Nike exhibition game featuring Stefanel Trieste vs Juve Caserta. Michael Jordan scored 30 points. The priceless music was inserted afterward. It's interesting to note in those days of early international marketing, evidentally star NBA players would sometimes play with foreign teams.


Here's a parting shot from Youtube's Monsieur AceMasterBeanSkin:
"somewhere in the world today there is a 22 year old, half-Jordan half-Italian walking around, cause you know when you break a backboard, you get laid."
