Jordan's real-life counterpart and inspiration, Michael Jordan, is what? 50? I know that his kids are either in their late teens or adults now. I don't think that Jordan Michaels is quite that old, since he appeared to have been around 6 or so when he created Wilt, though he could have been older, since he was short for his age. Unlike his counterpart, HE has hair still, lol! On a side note, I believe that I've narrowed down the hometown of both Wilt and Jordan as Charleston, South Carolina. The reason I think that, aside from the accents, is that in close-up scenes of that big game between Wilt and Larry(the most recent one, NOT the one in which Jordan was still a kid), there are these pineapples stenciled on the doorways of the old buildings. I KNEW I remembered seeing that pineapple motif somewhere, in some old city I've visited, and I happened to think of it while talking to a friend of mine about his recent trip to New Orleans as part of rebuilding construction team. I asked him if he remembered seeing a city where there were lots of these pineapples stenciled on doorways to old buildings, and he immediately said, "Yeah, Charleston-you know, on 'Catfish Row' there are all these buildings with those stupid pineapples on 'em; I have no idea why, since they don't grow pineapples in Charleston!" Sure enough, I emailed my second cousin who lives in "The Holy City", and he confirmed that those pineapples were sort of a symbol for Charleston; you HAD to have at least ONE something with that motif on it if you lived there, and many of the exclusive shops now sell clothing with that pineapple, which has sort of gotten adopted by the "preppy" crowd as a trendy thing. Apparently, it got started with the Gullah/Geechee culture and took off from there. So, North Carolina has Michael Jordan, and we've got Jordan Michaels AND Wilt! pitbulllady |
