Deerfield Beach, Florida www.hcibooks.com 144 HOW TO BE LIKE MIKE And one of the men replied:“Oh! Michael Jordan!’’ In 1991, the Bulls were in Los Angeles to play the Lakers in the Finals. 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. John Salley said,“That’s when we knew there was us, and there was Michael Jordan!” Tony Kornheiser, Washington sports writer, said, “I have a photo in my den that is very special. It was taken in a box on the night Jordan joined the Wizards. On the left is Ted Leonsis, then MJ,Abe Pollin and Bill Clinton. Let me tell you, Michael is clearly the focal point of the picture.You can tell that he is the sheriff.” Top-Selling Issues of the Chicago Tribune since 1986: 1. Bulls Win 6th NBA Title 5.
