South Park kicks off their 14th season tomorrow night and the first episode of the new campaign deals with sex addiction. Celebrity sex addiction to be more accurate. You already know Tiger Woods is going to be on South Park. The latest commercial for the season premiere shows Tiger with plenty of famous company including Michael Jordan, Ben Roethlisberger and David Letterman.
The Jordan-Roethlisberger connection makes sense for more than one reason. They’re both Nike guys and rumors suggests MJ is the ringleader of the athlete’s traveling sex circus. Jordan’s softball game in the Bahamas is a good example of this. There’s no sex in that video but you can how the boys (and Usual Suspects) pour out when Mike calls.

Michael Jordan retired from the game of basketball for the first time on October 6, 1993, citing his lack of passion to play the game. Jordan was in his prime at 29 years old, had won seven scoring titles, and the Chicago Bulls had just won their third consecutive NBA championship with MJ as the Finals MVP.

Imagine Kobe Bryant announcing his retirement after the 2002 season or after winning the title last year. It wouldn’t make sense. Guys like that always want more and know their place in history. They don’t leave the game until they’re a shell of themselves. Like Michael eventually did almost 10 years after his first retirement (and five years after his second retirement) in 2003.

Michael Jordan joined Miami Heat President Pat Riley for the Cleveland Cavaliers-Miami Heat game. I know people are gonna find it strange that MJ was at the game since he’s the head of basketball operations for the Charlotte Bobcats, but think about it. The ‘cats played in Detroit. Why would Jordan wanna freeze his ass off watching two going-nowhere teams when he could chill on South Beach, and swing by the University of Central Florida to finalize the sneaker deal?
