Jordan Bone gave his mom a great Mother’s Day gift when he graduated last week. Well, now it was his turn to be surprised. The former Tennessee basketball guard had a graduation ceremony held for him by ESPN.
In an interview on SportsCenter, Bone told his mom that he had fulfilled the goal of graduation. At that point, however, a virtual celebration was held for him, as UT Chancellor Donde Plowman and basketball head coach Rick Barnes appeared on screen to congratulate him.
Barnes wore Bone’s Detroit Pistons jersey, and Plowman wore his Tennessee basketball jersey under their caps and gowns.
