The Michael Jordan Hall of Fame induction promotions … they just don’t stop. We had Jordan Brand’s exhibit, and we had Gatorade’s tribute to him in the South Loop, complete with his own Gatorade and a commerical.

This time around? Gatorade’s back at it again. On Facebook, you can now vote for Jordan’s “ultimate moment,” which if you’re so inclined to enter, can win you a trip to the induction ceremony. Or you can just vote. Here’s the list:

• The shot (Jordan over Ehlo)
• Final shot in the ‘98 Finals (should have been his last shot)
• First title celebration (the trophy hug)
• Six treys, one shrug (when he went bananas in the first half against the Blazers in ‘92)
• MJ’s dunk in the Garden (visuals here)
• 1996 title win on Father’s Day (complete with tears)
• “Rock the Cradle” dunk (not the exact moment, but looks like this)
• 63 points (vs. the Celtics in the playoffs)
• ‘88 All-Star Game (complete with dunk contest win)
• 55 points in his comeback year (against the Knicks in the playoff)

As Skeets notes, it’s going to be really hard to top Jordan’s shot over Ehlo. That’s about the most replayed highlight, out of his many, many highlights. That’s my vote. Right now, his final shot in the ‘98 Finals against the  Jazz is a close second to Ehlo. If I had to go with a No. 2, it’s the six threes against the Blazers.

Missing off the list? This one:

Some people like to argue that Facebook’s main function is to bring people together. I’d argue that its main function — its original function, anyway — was to bring people so close together, to make their lives so transparent, that there was no room to be a bad person anymore. And so then, because people wanted to be bad, vain people (cheat on their girlfriends, get drunk when they should be working, seem skinny when they’re fat) Facebook profiles became static: an interpretation of a person constructed entirely on that person’s whims. The more experience you have with the service the less useful it becomes.

But some people have failed to catch on. Like this guy. And apparently an undisclosed female intern, who according to the Houston Chronicle’s Jose de Jesus Ortiz, had an undisclosed player (Ortiz is refusing to give the player, team, or female names in question) give her his phone number and ask her to join him at a Houston club later in the evening. Ortiz is rightfully pretty pissed:

That was the first stupid decision made by the player, who just happens to be a married father. The young lady then accepted his phone number, which was a major no-no in the context of how it was offered. As if that weren’t silly enough, the young lady, who has nearly 700 “friends” on Facebook, decided to post this message on her Facebook account for over four hours: “Was asked out by (team name and player name) last night and I have his cell phone number to prove it.”
