He Shoots, He Scores
It appears that a man surnamed Jordan has always been a team-player. So has his “little” brother, Michael.
Command Sgt. Maj. James R. Jordan asked to stay in the Army for a year beyond his mandatory retirement date so he could complete a deployment to Iraq with the 35th Signal Brigade. [SNIP]God go with you, CSM Jordan.Like his younger brother, retired basketball star Michael Jordan, James Jordan loves his job, believes in helping his team, expects maximum effort from those around him, and will leave on his own terms.
The sergeant major stands 5-foot-7. His brother is about 6-foot-6. At Fort Bragg, the older brother has kept a low profile and avoided calling attention to his family connection.
Command Sgt. Maj. Jordan and about 500 soldiers of the brigade are scheduled to depart today for a year in Iraq.
(Thanks to Many, Many People)
I want to be like James.

let's hope he finishes off his military career better than mj finished off his ball playin' days with those awful wizards.

Although I admire Mike for his athletic skill, business acumen and ability to pretty much stay out of trouble (unlike many of his former NBA protege's), I would so much rather meet and shake the hand of his brother, James. Obviously a great American.

No reason to compare the two. Most of us would improve if we were a bit more like Mike, and a bit more like James.
