CANTON, Ohio — Michael Jordan elevated the Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony’s prestige by attending in support of former Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney.
Jordan, dressed in a beige suit, was seated with Freeney’s friends and family. The two are golfing buddies, and Jordan schemed with former Colts coach Tony Dungy for “the knock” to inform Freeney he’d made it ahead of the announcement in February.
Freeney and Jordan play golf multiple times per week in Hobe Sound, Fla., and Jordan orchestrated the surprise at his Grove XXIII course by telling Freeney to dress up a little under the guise of taking promotional photos for the club.
