ON AIR

Michael Jordan's impact on the game of basketball has been well-documented, but his influence ranges far beyond the sport. ON AIR will serve as a compendium of rumor, folklore, and personal experiences with the fabled athlete, told through a heavily-and-brilliantly illustrated oral history that will capture the individual stories that, combined together, become legend. With interviews from Chicago business owners and bartenders to NBA players, coaches and executives from not only the league but from partnering institutions like sports agencies, television networks, shoe manufacturers, food and beverage companies, video game producers and even Hollywood, no stone is left unturned in the attempt to understand the totality of the effect Michael Jordan's physical genius has had on the world.
