Mariah performs tribute to Michael Jordan
Monday 10 February 2003
At the 2003 NBA All Star game, Mariah performed a tribute to Michael Jordan
who's retiring from playing professional basketball at age 40. Mariah kicked off her
performance with "Boy" (without Cam'ron) wearing a red jersey and a mini skirt while
MJ videoclips were in the background. Then Mariah came in a blue jersey-dress and
sang "My Saving Grace" and the last part of "Hero" right after it.
As All-Stars from both teams watched while sitting on the court, the lights
were turned off and the familiar Chicago Bulls' intro music - the Alan Parsons Project's
instrumental "Sirius" - played. Carey announced, "From North Carolina, a 6-6 guard,
Michael Jordan!" Jordan walked to center court, where he was overwhelmed by a nearly
two-minute standing ovation from the star-studded crowd. "I leave the game in good hands,"
Jordan said as he pointed to his fellow Stars. "Now I can go home and feel at peace with
the game of basketball."
