MCs who embodied #23 on the mic.

A Tribe Called Quest – Lyrics to Go' - Phife let the world know you could put money on his lyrical ability and that he was a sure shot like Mike in the clutch when he let go his lyrics and fired off with, "Don't worry about getting gassed / I push the pedal to the metal / Always wanted this 'cause it surely beats a scramble / I'm Jordan with the mic / Huh, wanna gamble?"(Photo: Chris McKay/Getty Images for BET)
Diddy Featuring Notorious B.I.G. and Busta Rhymes — 'Victory' - B.I.G. was like Jordan when he ripped Diddy's "Victory," scoring with, "Excellence is my presence, never tense, never hesitant / Leave a n***a bent real quick / Real sick, raw nights, I perform like Mike / Any one: Tyson, Jordan, Jackson / Action, pack guns, ridiculous / And I'm, quick to bust, if my ends you touch."(Photo: Raymond Boyd/Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images)
Drake – 'Barry Bonds (Freestyle)' - Drake's confidence to take it to the hole had him driving up the lane hard like he was Jordan after he left suckas pouting like Isaiah Thomas after he snatched their chicks. Drizzy dunked like Mike with, "Yeah... that's the reason why he looking hard / 'Cause I've done snatched the Chips Ahoy out the cookie jar / He just mad 'cause his girls at the house / With her tongue sticking out like a Michael Jordan rookie card."(Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images for Coachella)
Fabolous – 'Never Let It Go' - Fabolous felt like the Chicago Bull when he rapped about going for your dreams no matter what what the odds are on "Never Let It Go." Fab took flight like his idol with, "I'm like Michael Jordan if we talking scoring broads / To me you got one chance to miss ya shot / Better get ya J up, life is not a layup."(Photo: Graham Denholm/Getty Images)Future – 'Jordan Diddy' - Future thought he was M.J. and Puff when he set them as his benchmarks to aspire to on his booming trap anthem "Jordan Diddy." Future felt a lot like the basketball god when he spit, "Aye, I'm Michael Jordan, b***h, I'm in every city... / I'm M.V.P. / Michael Jordan status, n***a I got six rings." (Photo: Earl Gibson III/Getty Images For BET)
