And now, the incredible true story behind the 'Dunk on Mars' Jordan 5 dropping tomorrow...
It was 1990, and the GOAT was feeling particularly ambitious. He decided that he wanted to try dunking on Mars. So, he backed up a few steps on Earth, took a running start and, with a powerful leap, he blasted off into space towards the red planet.
As he flew through the vacuum of space, he practiced his dunking technique and visualized himself slamming the ball through a Martian hoop. After a few minutes, he landed on the Martian surface and found a basketball hoop that had been set up by some Martian ballers.
Jordan suited up in his Chicago Bulls uniform and stepped out onto the Martian surface. He dribbled the ball a few times to get a feel for the lower gravity. He then took a running start towards the hoop and with a powerful leap he ripped the ball through the hoop. The crowd of Martians went bonkers. They knew this was an unforgettable scene.
Jordan was so excited that he pumped his fists and ran around the court, high-fiving all the Martians. But just as he was about to do a victory lap, he realized that he needed to get back home. So he backed up a few steps, took a running start, and leaped back to Earth.
When he landed, he was greeted by a crowd of reporters who asked him how his trip to Mars was. He simply smiled and said "It was out of this world."
