Earlier this year, Jeffrey Harrison went viral when he dressed up like Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan in a pick-up basketball game. Jordan apparently caught wind of the 33-year-old fan and decided to surprise him.
According to KREM in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, Jordan’s manager informed him of the video and the Charlotte Bobcats owner sent Harrison some gear.
But he didn’t stop there as he sent him a letter and even made a personal phone call to the fan.

This would have made any person’s day, but it is extra special for Jeffrey Harrison, who has autism. He has been dressing up like the Hall of Famer since 2010.
This is certainly awesome and it reassures my love for Michael Jordan as a both a person and a player.
