I grew up in Chicago, and I understand what Michael Jordan symbolizes.

All I ever wanted to do was wear Jordans. I think there was only one or two pair I never had.

For me, to just have my own shoe is unbelievable. As a kid, you see Jordans and wonder what that feels like to have your own shoe, and the fact that I have one is really surreal.

I look at my jersey and see the NBA logo, I'm like, 'I didn't think I'd be here.'

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

Jordan has a strange, haunting beauty and a sense of timelessness. Dotted with the ruins of empires once great, it is the last resort of yesterday in the world of tomorrow. I love every inch of it.

I'm like a dude. Jordans are my favorite. I wear them all the time for shows. I can get girly-girly when I want to, but I can't perform in heels. I would bust my face open on stage, and we don't want that.

I have a lot of Jordans, a lot of Nikes, a lot of Blazers.

I was a die-hard, obsessed fan of Michael Jordan. I'd take his posters with me to away meets, I'd walk out on the deck in my Air Jordans before I swam, I'd write 23 on my cap. I'm just a huge Jordan fan.

Growing up, you'd see Michael Jordan on everything from Gatorade to shoes - everything. Obviously, that's something pretty cool for an athlete to aspire to.
