Toward the conclusion of each pro sports season (and starting earlier every year, it would seem), pundits take their positions on whether a most valuable player is the single best talent in the league, the best player on the best team or some combination of the two. Now, there’s no questioning that Michael Jordan was the most brilliant baller of the 1995-96 season that saw his Chicago Bulls set the all-time mark for wins in a season, so if we’re talking about the greatest player on the greatest team ever, even the youngest among us understand why he’s still considered the GOAT. Extend the analogy to that season’s immortal Air Jordan XI and you might have an argument that this original ‘Bred’ colorway in which MJ grasped his fourth Larry O’Brien trophy (along with the scoring title, regular season, All-Star and Finals MVPs), is therefore the single greatest sneaker of all time. Let the debate commence on the other side after you’ve seen a new round of photos for the 2012 Bred Jordan 11s and stick with Sneaker News as we approach the Christmas Eve-eve release date.
