Certainly among Milwaukee Bucks fans, it’s long been far from a secret that Michael Jordan had a poster of a franchise legend adorning the walls of his room at the University of North Carolina.
Now, though, that story has an extra dimension to it. In archival footage featured in the fifth episode of ESPN’s The Last Dance, Jordan name checks Marques Johnson as a player he likes, directing attention toward the poster on the wall behind him.
The photo of a young Jordan dancing under an umbrella in his dorm room has taken on something close to iconic status over the years, and clearly visible in the back of that shot, below a poster of another Bucks legend, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, is a “Johnson’s Law” poster.
