Life After Michael

June 10, 1998 | Issue 33•22

With Michael Jordan closing out what could be his last season, the NBA may soon have to face life without its biggest draw and greatest ambassador. What do you think about such a prospect?

Girl With Glasses

Jennifer Croydon,
Waitress
"I will not watch NBA games when Michael Jordan retires. He is the only one who puts the ball in the hoop in a manner I enjoy."

Other Guy

Wayne Eccles,
Systems Analyst
"I can't believe the NBA is going to retire Jordan. It's just another sad example of how the black man is mistreated in our society."

Minority Guy

Richard Hooton,
Cinematographer
"Perhaps the NBA could make up for the inevitable loss of revenue by selling some sort of merchandise."

Guy With Sunglasses

Robert Zahn,
Electrician
"Michael introduced me to something amazing, something I enjoy far more than anything else in the world—shooting kids for their shoes."

Wimpy Guy

Aaron Milburn,
Telemarketer
"The real question is: What will the NBA do when Jud Buechler retires?"

Blonde Girl

Amanda Platt,
Graduate Student
"No one can take Michael's place: Shaquille O'Neal's commercials totally suck."
