Unforgivable: Michael Jordan Statue In Dubai Wears Wrong Number
It’s pretty incredible that basketball has become so popular that you can find fans all over Europe, China and even the Middle East these days, which is why you might not think it’s so strange to see a Michael Jordan statue in Dubai…until you realize the statue’s number is the wrong one.
A sports grill at the Dubai Mall has a life-like statue of His Airness, and he’s wearing a No. 32 Bulls jersey—a number worn in real by 7-foot white guy Will Purdue throughout much of Jordan’s tenure in Chicago.
Since MJ (who, we assume you know, wore No. 23 for most of his career) hasn’t played in the league in about eight years, we’re guessing not too many Dubaians realize the creator of the statue messed up what is one of the most iconic numbers in NBA history. And unless they happen to be subscribers to ESPN Classic, or Jordan makes an improbable comeback, they’re unlikely to find out.
Here’s a photo of the wrong-numbered Jordan.

I have had it up to here with Dubai....just building a mega city with invisible money, filled with islands in the shape of the world and a mall with a ski mountain in it or some shit. It's over Dubai, that was the last straw...this shit is bad, something needs to be done. You can't just ao around making statues of the G.O.A.T and put #32 on it. I will no longer stand idely by, you want a holy war Dubai? I'll give you a fucking holy war.
