This paper examines how a superstar like Michael Jordan helps the business of basketball and the overall economy. The author discusses how Jordan's comeback helps the MCI Center, the NBA, Nike, television and ticket sales.
From the Paper:
"For most of the summer of 2001, there was speculative talk among journalists, basketball players and his Airness himself about the return of Michael Jordan to NBA basketball as a Washington Wizard. After Jordan became part owner and President of Basketball Operations in January of 2000, there were always some questions about the possibility of a comeback, though Jordan adamantly denied having these intentions up until a week before he was supposed to make his official announcement on September 11, 2001. Of course, in the wake of the happenings of September 11, his announcement was official about a week later, with the economic effects coming around the same time and reverberating through the league now."
