Knicks’ Jalen Brunson refused Michael Jordan’s autograph as a kid

Jalen Brunson has only been with the Knicks for one season, but he’s already made his mark in New York City. He was easily the most valuable player on a team that accomplished more than many expected during the 2022-23 season.

But even as good as Brunson is, he’s not perfect by any means. We all make mistakes, especially when we’re young. The point guard probably still thinks about how he refused a Michael Jordan autograph … in person.

Here’s the story (which is old, but just resurfaced on Reddit) from The Dallas Morning News (via ESPN):

Michael Jordan was walking back to his chair in the Washington Wizards locker room when assistant coach Patrick Ewing introduced him to a new fan.
