Darren Lee from Las Vegas, NV

Question:Dear Mr.Jordan, I just have to start off saying that you are and will be my favorite athlete of all time. How much input and your personal tastes are put into your clothing and footwear line?

Michael: Actually Darren, I spend a lot of time working with the JORDAN Brand team on the clothing and shoes. I really enjoy the sessions I have with the team - it allows me to use my creativity. I have truly been involved in each shoe's look and technology, and I am now enjoying more work on influencing the design and look on the apparel.

Question: Mike, How do you feel about Scottie in Portland and Phil in L.A.? Do you keep in contact with them?

Michael: I'm happy for both Scottie and Phil. I believe that everyone needs to follow their heart and do what makes him/her happy. I spoke with Phil a little while ago, and I hope to catch a couple of Lakers games this year. Same with Scottie -- he'll do great in Portland.

Scott Kreitzer from Mahomet, IL

Question:Michael, Do you have plans to make any more movies? Space Jam was great!

Michael: Thanks -- At this point I have no plans to make any more movies, but maybe I'll reconsider making one in the future. I love movies, and since I retired, I've been catching up on a lot of movies.

Kevin Wilson from Tempe, AZ

Question: On the new Jordan's (Nike) the three numbers on the back have a meaning."23" is your number. "6" is the number of rings you have. But what is the "15" for? Please clear this up for us. Thanks a lot - and by the way - the shoes look great!

Michael: Kevin -- That's an easy one -- Its the Air Jordan XV (or "15") !! Glad you like them -- I think they're the best ones yet.

Brad Cook from Stephenville, TX

Question: Hey Mike, I hope your enjoying your retirement. Are you playing a lot of golf - and what's your handicap?

Michael: Yes, I am enjoying retirement, and I've been golfing a lot. Unfortunately I think winter has arrived in Chicago, so I'll be playing less and less. My handicap is about a 4 -- or at least it is when I'm at my peak.
