Michael Jordan Recovers Nicely From “What Are Those?” Camp Question

Among Michael Jordan’s key traits over the last 30 years has been his ability to relate to young people and to inspire them. But even MJ seemed momentarily disconnected when a camper at his Michael Jordan Flight School in Santa Barbara broke out the “What are those?” meme during a Q&A session, referencing the basketball legend’s Air Jordan XX9 Lows.

As the crowd of kids buzzes with amusement and light jeering – you can hear someone exclaim “He’s confused!” – Jordan appears to consult with one of his camp directors to sort out what exactly he was just asked and how to answer the viral phrase. Jordan finally retorts:

“What are those? These are 29 Lows.”
