Citation re: body double?[edit]

The "entertainment career" section states that:

"He also spent seven years as the body double for Michael Jordan."

This was also a "did you know?" fact on the WP front page, which is how I arrived at this page.

It cites [11], which is a businessweek.com profile of Miguel, but neither the link nor the archived version of the link say anything about this fact. On top of that, I'm not at all sure what it means to be the body double for Michael Jordan. For what?

If this fact is for real, is there a source that backs it up? — Preceding unsigned comment added by LittleWalrus (talk • contribs) 20:29, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In the source under "Background", click on "Read Full Background" to uncollapse the details. There it says, "Mr. Miguel also spent seven years as the body double for Michael Jordan." Presumably, it was in basketball-related shoots with Jordan for a film/TV show/commercial. While I found multiple sources that mention the body double stint, none of them provide additional details on his role.—Bagumba (talk) 23:17, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
