Want 'em or hate 'em, the push for the Chicago 2016 Olympics is going to be a big story around here over the next eight months, and especially the next several days as the IOC tours the city. Now comes this three-minute spot promoting Chicago as the host city and the crew at Chicago 2016 finally pulled out the big gun: Michael Jordan. The video is, dare we say, pretty stellar and well put together and only makes us wonder how things would be different if Mayor Daley wasn't leading this charge. [via The Windy Citizen]
