Dez Bryant Meets Michael Jordan, Calls it “Best Moment of My Life”

Bryant met Jordan during the NBA's All-Star Weekend in Houston

Dez Bryant had plenty of great moments in 2012, as he broke out for a career year. He brought down 92 catches for 1,382 yards and 12 touchdowns, and won more than a few fans over as he played through a fractured hand that could have ended his season with three games left.

But the best moment of Bryant’s life just happened this weekend, according to Bryant himself. The young receiver was in Houston over the weekend for the NBA All-Star Game (and related festivities), where he got to meet the best basketball player of all time, Michael Jordan, who was in town for the game (and to celebrate his 50th birthday).

Bryant took a picture with His Airness and Tweeted shortly afterward, via the Dallas Morning News (sic of course): “So excited I can’t tweet right lol….meeting Michael Jordan tonight was the best moment of my life.”
