Jeffrey Nigel Malone (born June 28, 1961 in Mobile, Alabama) is a retired American professional basketball player. He played college basketball at Mississippi State University, and is mostly known for his time with the Washington Bullets (1983–90) of the NBA, where he was an NBA All-Star twice, playing the shooting guard position. He also played for the Utah Jazz, Philadelphia 76ers, and Miami Heat.
Malone averaged 19.0 points per game over 13 years in the NBA. He was known for his capable offense, averaging more than 20 points in six full NBA seasons with Washington and Utah. In particular, Malone was adept at running his defender through a pick or series of picks, receiving a pass and hitting a quick jump shot. At times, he would go on a hot streak and, seemingly unstoppable, score 15+ points in a single quarter.
On January 3, 1984, Malone, during his rookie season hit an amazing game-winning 3-pointer against the Detroit Pistons, as he fell out of bounds along the left baseline and lofted the basketball above the backboard and made it to give the Bullets a 103-102 lead with 1 second left. This shot was listed as one in a votable list of the NBA's greatest shots. He averaged a career-best 24.3 points per game with the Bullets in 1990.
Michael Jeffrey Jordan (born February 17, 1963) is a retired American professional basketball player, active entrepreneur, and majority owner of the Charlotte Bobcats. His biography on the National Basketball Association (NBA) website states, "By acclamation, Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time." Jordan was one of the most effectively marketed athletes of his generation and was considered instrumental in popularizing the NBA around the world in the 1980s and 1990s.
After a three-season career at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he was a member of the Tar Heels' national championship team in 1982, Jordan joined the NBA's Chicago Bulls in 1984. He quickly emerged as a league star, entertaining crowds with his prolific scoring. His leaping ability, illustrated by performing slam dunks from the free throw line in slam dunk contests, earned him the nicknames "Air Jordan" and "His Airness". He also gained a reputation for being one of the best defensive players in basketball. In 1991, he won his first NBA championship with the Bulls, and followed that achievement with titles in 1992 and 1993, securing a "three-peat". Although Jordan abruptly retired from basketball at the beginning of the 1993–94 NBA season to pursue a career in baseball, he rejoined the Bulls in 1995 and led them to three additional championships (1996, 1997, and 1998) as well as an NBA-record 72 regular-season wins in the 1995–96 NBA season. Jordan retired for a second time in 1999, but returned for two more NBA seasons from 2001 to 2003 as a member of the Washington Wizards.
if you keep it like a secret
then no one gets hurt
the last few minutes
are always the worst
when every night's a blessing
but every single day is a curse for you
be careful what you wish for baby
it just might come true
if you left it like you found it
we wouldn't be here
but you always have to screw
with what you don't understand
and there is a little part of me
that just breaks everytime I look at you
be careful what you wish for baby
it just might come true
if you keep it like a secret
then no one gets hurt
the last few minutes
are always the worst
when every night's a blessing
but every single day is a curse for you
be careful what you wish for baby
Put up a fight
I wont let you go down like this
you're such a beautiful sight
depending on the way that the lights hit you
so do I have to take you outside
and show you what a real man is
you've been acting just like a little child
ever since I started to kiss other girls
now the smoke curls around your wedding ring
you wash my smell off of you in the sink
and you don't know what you shouldn't feel
all you know is that you long for something real
and that's not me
so put up a fight
I didn't ever think it would get this far
and the stage it's not so subtle now
all of the lovebirds are quiet tonight
they must have all fallen asleep
but I've got a hunger as big as my eyes
and a promise that I'll never keep
I know I shouldn't be out here
cause no one loves you more than me
but I don't think I'm coming home tonight
I'm sorry, my sweet emily
all of your friends are like angels
the role models I'll never be
with habits they kick like booze and cigarettes
but this thing is much bigger than me
and I know I shouldn't be out here
cause no one loves you more than me
but I don't think I'm coming home tonight
I'm sorry, my sweet emily
and I couldn't save you
cause I in myself
half of me begs for forgiveness
but half of me just wants to die
and I can't resist the swayin of their hips
as they shine under barlit skies
and I know I shouldn't be out here
cause no one loves you more than me
but I don't think I'm coming home tonight
This old house is burning down
in a blaze of gasoline
You've been writing out your suicide notes
since you were thirteen
and you say that you're sorting
through the feelings that you have
and you're sort of feeling nothing
but thats all I've ever had
and somewhere not far from here
wont be the one to tell you
when you finally face your fears
that everything is alright
In my arms I hold myself
cuz everyone else is asleep
I've been watching you breathe in and out
there's a buzz hanging over my head
from my broken neon halo
like a movie that I slept through
I just don't get the point
but if I get to california
before I lose my mind
I'll lay my burden on you
for one last time
most nights I just lay and wonder
how I ever let it get this far
becouse most nights I don't even love you
the way I did the night teat came before
although my head it is so heavy
my mouth is filled with dirt
and my heart it burns with envy
well tonight I'll lay myself
in this bed I sleep inside
we'll meet up at 2am
when I close my eyes
and me, myself I'm arrogant
but I'll always admit it
cuz it's the one last thing
I can hold on to anymore
and I've been waiting patiently behind
yeah another breakdown yeah
I wish they'd come and put me away
yeah another breakdown
it's been a long time coming
it'll be a long time
until I learn to ease myself into it
and learn how to keep your body still
but I've been waiting patiently behind
yeah another breakdown yeah
I wish they'd come and put me away
yeah another breakdown
empty hearts and empty houses fill my cup
the best of beggars can't be choosers
so drink it up, I drink it
but I've been waiting patiently
for you to come on back to me
but I've been waiting patiently behind
yeah another breakdown yeah
I wish they'd come and put me away
