or cold-blooded competitor or in referencing their parallel retirements on The Blueprint 3, Jay-Z has his own podium moment. Jay-Z has compared himself to Jordan throughout his career, whether as a fellow G.O.A.T. Jordan delivered a rambling twenty five minute speech that glossed over the influence of his mentors and teammates and instead returned again and again to his rivals, from stars he battled for championships to ordinary people who served him the pettiest of slights, to recount his grudges against them and the vengeance he unfailingly won over them. In front of an audience of basketball legends and fans who had paid $1,000 a ticket, all of whom seemed eager to celebrate his career and share a rare unguarded personal moment with a man they idolize. On the same day that Jay-Z's The Blueprint 3 was released last week, Michael Jordan was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame.
