Elvin Ernest Hayes (born November 17, 1945 in Rayville, Louisiana) is a retired American basketball player and radio analyst for Houston Cougars men's basketball, where he played college basketball. He is a member of the NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team, and an inductee of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
A quiet, introverted youth, Hayes first picked up a basketball in eighth grade, by accident. He was wrongly blamed for playing a classroom prank and was sent to the principal's office. But another teacher, Reverend Calvin, saw Hayes and said he was welcome in his class. Although the youngster showed no inclination for any sports, Calvin thought he would benefit by playing basketball and put him on the school team. Hayes was so clumsy, however, that he evoked laughter with his awkward attempts at shooting and dribbling.
But young Hayes was determined to improve, and during the summers he practiced long hours. As a 6'5" ninth grader he was a benchwarmer on the junior varsity squad at Britton High School when he became determined to crack the starting lineup. "I was too weak to shoot the turnaround then," Hayes recalled, "so all summer long I shot with a small rubber ball at a basket in my yard. My development was almost overnight."
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.

I am under your skin
I'm right here
I'm the animal within
You can see me
When you look in the mirror
Take a look at me
Take a look behind these eyes
Behind the shelter of immodest pride
You will find
Just a matter of time
Clear your mind and don't be afraid
Afraid to loose control
Don't you fear me, it's okay
At the end you will see
As long as you aren't dead it's not too late to feel
Behind these eyes
Behind the shelter of immodest pride
You will find what's the call of the wild
Behind wolven eyes
Wolven eyes
Wolven eyes
Wolven eyes
Don't be afraid because you're not alone
There are so many kinfolks wherever you may roam
And at the end you'll see Darwin was right
We've got more of an animal than wolven eyes
Can you hear our children singing?
Can you hear them howling in the night?
I can hear my kinfolks singing
I can hear them howling in the night
Now peel down your skin, don't you know:
There's an animal within you!
I can see you, I can smell - I know better:
I can see through these eyes!
I CAN SEE THROUGH THESE EYES!
And at the end you'll see Darwin was right
We've got more of an animal than wolven eyes
Wolven eyes
They can see through your immodest pride
They will find what they hunt for tonight
