Michael Jordan Turns 60

Believe it or not, Michael Jordan turns 60 Friday. The six-time NBA champion is celebrating his birthday with a $10 million donation to the Make-a-Wish Foundation.
It will be the organization’s largest-ever individual donation. Jordan, of course, is now the owner of the Charlotte Hornets.

 

Case Against Chris Beard Dismissed

A prosecutor has moved to dismiss a felony domestic violence case against former University of Texas Longhorns basketball coach Chris Beard after a review of the evidence.
Beard was arrested on December 12 after his fiancé called 911 and said Beard strangled, bit and hit her during a confrontation.

She later said Beard acted in self-defense and she did not want him prosecuted.
