- Stuck in an elevator with Michael Jordan

Michael Jordan
Since he's only the greatest basketball player EVER, and in honor of THE MAN being inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame today, there is no one else that I would rather be in a elevator with than the one and only, Michael Jordan.
Now, this has been a long-time dream of mine—being in a space with Michael small enough that I could actually look at him closely...close enough that I could study his face and his greatness. Heck, I might even muster up the courage to talk to him if I was in an elevator, because I would have the knowledge that I would never ever have the opportunity to be as close to him again; thus I would have to say something.
Maybe I would tell him how much I respect him for never quitting. Like in 1997, Game 5 of the NBA finals, MJ made 38 points in 44 minutes on the court, fighting the flu the entire time. Even though he was dehydrated, unpracticed from vomiting the entire night before, and exhausted from no food and no sleep, he kept playing—helping lead the Bulls to victory over the Jazz with a 90-88 final.
So maybe that's what I would say to him—"Michael, you never quit. You played your last game with the same heart as your first, and that is something to be commended for."
Or maybe I would be so star-struck that I couldn't say anything at all. Either way, just to be in his presence would be a dream come true...
