Also, the UNC No. 23 “CHISHIRO” jersey he was wearing was shown on the arena’s big screen, drawing gasps of surprise from the crowd!
Since it was No. 23 but said “CHISHIRO” instead of “JORDAN,” people seemed surprised. In fact, quite a few people came up to me to comment on it!
By the way, this jersey features an autograph in the handwriting of Sylvia Hatchell, a friend of Michael Jordan and former head coach of the UNC women’s basketball team.
In addition to UNC’s victory, this unexpected turn of events made for a truly memorable experience watching the game live!
