Encounter with a hero
 By Jeremiah Boswell
With the recent induction of Michael Jordan into the Hall of Fame, I had a flashback of a unique experience. It was February 2006 – a very exciting time for basketball fans. For me, it was exceptionally exciting because I was going to Houston for the 2006 NBA All-Star Game. As an NBA employee, it was a business trip, but of the fun variety.
I was primarily responsible for making sure the players were able to get to their sponsor events. Translation: repeatedly communicating with car services.

 Jordan I: It is the Shoes
As In the Paint went to press, there was still no compromise on whether the University of Central Florida will allow basketball player Marcus Jordan, Michael’s son, to wear Jordan Brand shoes during games instead of adidas. The school has a deal with adidas to provide shoes and apparel for the men’s basketball team.
