I really wish all the success to Jeff. He seems like a humble kid, and being Michael's son, that is to be admired. Also Michael deserves it. I hope them all success and well being.

Matt, you're a lucky man to have interviewed the greatest icon to his/her sport - MJ. The only troubling aspect that would crumble in the future is if his son isn't drafted into the NBA (if thats his intent) and I hope MJ holds the support as he stated for his three children in their chosen profession(s).

It is special to see Michael and Jeff together doing an interview. I thought it was interesting that father and son were quite competitiive when talking about the games they play together. I am glad that Michael is apparently being so open with his children about things that he has struggled with in the past. It is good to hear that Michael and Juanita are still close and talk to each other. Living in Utah, I do not get to see much of MJ except through highlight DVDs. Watching him dominate his competition on a regular basis was very special and something I will never forget. Would it not be great if Jeff continues to grow as a player and learns everything he can form his dad? I hope Jeff is successful in Illinois, and coach Weber takes him under his wing and helps him to progress as a player in the NCAA. Thanks for making this interview happen.

I would just like to say that "I hope Jeff has a great career in his collegiate years at Illinois'. Maybe he will go to the pros and maybe not . It is still ok. And to Michael and Juanita, as a parent I give you much respect for allowing your children to be as normal as possible, with out a lot of media hype to confuse them more. I read the interview and it seems pretty good . It's not easy sitting down discusssing your personal life with people. But they say that sometimes it heals. So to the Jordan family I wish you all peace . La'Dell

Hi,normally not at home during the day, and wanted information about Ann Curry's trip back to the states and stumble across MJ's name..so surprise. Anyway I'm so thrilled that MJ & his children are so close,also very respectfully that wife, Juanita does not bad mouth their Dad..like so many mothers. I was also sad about the divorced, yeah, I know stuff happens.
Next, I was fortunate to have Pistons season tickets(row 4on visitors side, I could see the sweat pop off his face)during MJ's era..it was so awsome to see him &Joe Dumars go to work (smile)...you really had to be there up close and in person. To my way of thinking no one brings excitement of NBA basketball like MJ and maybe no one will. I wish MJ, Juanita and children much, much hapiness in a world with little. MJ, Juanita enjoy your children every waking moment...because then they grow up.! I know because been there..done that!
May God continue to bless the MJ family.

In terms of athletic prowess, I always considered MJ the second coming of Jim Thrope. His reknown reputation in basketball may never be repeated and I believe, in his time, he was the greatest across-the-board athelete ala Thorpe. The greatest lesson I learned from MJ was that hitting a baseball was the most difficult thing in all of sports to do. His post retirement foray into baseball, which, he quickly ended, saw his batting average reach no higher than .163, which is a dismal average for such a outstanding athelete...and I doubt Thorpe, if he tried, would have done much better.

A great piece done on a great man and his son. Good luck to Jeff and congratulations on being accepted into the University of Illinois, not only as a basketball player but as a student. I am a big Michael Jordan fan and was sad to hear of his divorce but happy to hear that he and Juanita are still working together in a positive manner for the kids sake. May God continue to bless the Jordan family.

This was a great segment. Jeff seems like a good "down to earth" person as well as Michael. I wish him and his family all the best. The best part was hearing about a famous person's child. I feel that the children get lost in their famous parents' shadows. Children are so important. Please do some more segments on the children of famous people. Thanks!

I am 64 and think MJ is the greatest.When I had to miss one of his games I was much upset. It is very refreshing to hear that Jeff went to college on an academic scholarship. If you excell in the books you will excell on the court. Best wishes to the MJ Family

Thank you for the Michael and Jeff Jordan interview. I was a HUGE Michael Jordan fan. I wouldn't miss a game during his reign.

It was nice to go back down memory lane today and remember such an exciting player.

Matt and Matt, nice package on the Jordans. As a video editor for the news,just want to say excellent work! I like how you tied in Mike's career with the up and coming career of Jeff. Matt brought up an excellent question when he asked Michael about wanting his son to exceed what he has accomplished. I think everything father has said and wants that for there son.
