There will be no crying Jordan today.
No, today is reserved for that other Jordanism. You know, the one that didn’t make much sense when it came tumbling out of No. 23’s mouth a month ago. He was at the Smith Center, at halftime of the UNC-Duke game, promoting an apparel deal with the UNC football team.
He said: “The ceiling is the roof.”
Well, that slightly embarrassing malapropism is now emblazoned everywhere, including hot-off-the-press championship T-shirts that say: “Ceiling. Roof. Banner.”
Turns out, Michael Jordan knew what he was talking about all along.
And he had a little fun with it in the wee hours of Monday after North Carolina had clinched its sixth NCAA national championship with a win over Gonzaga.
