One of my favorite memories was one time Prince picked me up and said we were going to Michael Jordan's birthday party.

I remember being a teenager and watching 40-year-old Michael Jordan compete in his final All-Star game.

When I met Michael Jordan on a basketball court at an athletic club - we hooped together in Chicago - he came to me and asked me if I wanted to do a song for his upcoming movie. I was like, 'Yeah!' I didn't even ask what it was.

In 1981, when I went down to visit Georgia Tech, I watched Michael Jordan play and literally get ridiculed for taking a jump shot in the championship game that went off the backboard, and they won. People are forgetting that Michael was just one of the players when they went to the Dream Team.

If you think back to the first sporting event you went to, you don't remember the score, you don't remember a home run, you don't remember a dunk. You remember who you were with. Were you with your mom, your dad, your brother, on a date?

I was a big Michael Jordan fan growing up. I don't feel my game resembles his though.

Michael Jordan was a tremendous basketball player.

When Michael Jordan quit, I suddenly found myself without a sports hero.

Michael Jordan and Magic and myself all learned how to play the game in college programs that emphasized the team.

I grew up watching Dr. J, and I was like, 'Oh my God, this guy is the greatest basketball player I ever saw.'
