Michael Jordan, the legendary NBA star, was expected to attend the United Center on Sunday night to participate in honoring his longtime friend, Chris Chelios, with the Chicago Blackhawks. However, Jordan was unable to attend due to a reported death in the family.
Although the specifics of the situation remain unclear, Jordan managed to send a video message from the golf course to be played during the event, expressing his regrets for not being able to be there in person.
“Michael Jordan said he had a death in the family and couldn’t make it to Chris Chelios’ jersey retirement, but he sent a video message that just aired inside the United Center,” as reported.
The announcement of Jordan’s absence has sparked reactions from NBA fans on social media, with some humorously speculating about his priorities.
Despite the light-hearted comments, it’s important to recognize the significance of Jordan’s loss and extend thoughts of sympathy and support to his family during this challenging time.
