Anybody remember that guy who was in headlines for playing pickup ball in a full Michael Jordan Bulls uniform?
It was calculated on the source of information that his name is Jeffrey Harrison of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho — aka CDA MJ.
A local TV channel recited his story — about how he has been a fan of Jordan since age 4 and his love for basketball has played a part in his life with autism.And, apparently Jordan saw his story, because Harrison got the surprise of his life on Friday, while KREM-2’s Darnay Tripp was there to share the whole thing about the surprise:
There were two boxes full of Jordan gear to add to his collection.

“I knew it was him. It kind of brought me to tears after I got off the phone so I figured this is really going to be nice,” Harrison’s words to KREM. “The fact that Michael Jordan took the time to call and put all this together. I love it, even the cologne, even the sweats. I love it.”
Harrison wasn’t able to hide his happiness with a never expected surprise. He was glad about receiving a surprise from MJ. We can hope both of them will take the court together one certain day.
