On the bus, the players were teasing each other about who knew the most famous people. The debate raged on and Michael remained quiet. Someone yelled,“How about you, Michael? Who do you know who’s famous?” MJ said, “Who do you want me to call?” Someone said, “How about Janet Jackson?” MJ placed a call and said,“Hi, Janet. This is Mike. Give me a call.” Someone said, “Aw, you’re just faking it.”Thirty seconds later, the phone rang. It was Janet Jackson.
