eBay News: Michael Jordan’s Chair Up for Sale
May 27th, 2005 by Laurie BarakSource: MercuryNews
A chair designed to fit Michael Jordan’s buns just right could soon go to the highest bidder on eBay.
Wellington, Florida resident Neal Taslitz plans to sell a custom-made chair in which “His Airness” parked himself while watching game tapes at the Chicago Bulls’ training center in Deerfield, Ill., during the 1990s.
The starting bid: $200,000.
Taslitz, a lawyer, designed Jordan’s ergonomically correct chair after the basketball legend injured his back. During the 1990s, Taslitz developed a business selling furniture for people with bad backs. He suffered debilitating back pain himself from spending 12-hour days in a stiff, wingback chair.
