by now, most of us have probably seen the new michael jordan commercial for nike xxi... it ends with the phrase 'let your game speak'...

the commercial uses 12 sequences from michael jordan's basketball career, and recreates the the real-life events using child actors...

click here for the youtube link to see the commercial

fill in the blank numbers if you can ID the REAL LIFE event the sequence came from... i'll help you on the easy ones...

7. was this a throwback to his tar heel days (look at the uniform)

All I know is that on the simulated move against Byron Russell,
the child did not push off the way Jordan did
