Before he became the greatest player in the NBA, Michael Jordan was a college student taking
Beginning Tennis and Elementary Portuguese his freshman year at the University of North Carolina.
MJ’s entire course load will likely be displayed on someone’s wall sometime soon since this valuable
piece of paper and other documents from his time in college are now up for auction. These documents
once hung on the walls in his “23″ restaurant in Chapel Hill until the business closed in November 2003.
The items were put into storage until the storage space bill wasn’t paid and then became property of a
“Storage Wars”-type dude who sold the contents to New Jersey-based auction house Goldin Auctions.
In addition to his transcripts, two 1980 recruiting letters and an original copy of the diploma he received
from UNC in 1986 are being auctioned. Jordan’s academic records indicate he was a Geography major.
