When Michael Jordan revisited his roots at Emsley A. Laney High School, he didn’t expect to find a mentor who had shaped his future still working at 80. Mr. Wilson, the janitor who believed in Michael when he was cut from the varsity team, was still diligently working there. Despite the passing of decades, Mr. Wilson remained a figure of quiet support who had let Michael practice in the gym when no one else would.
After reconnecting, Michael was deeply moved by Mr. Wilson’s dedication to his family despite years of hard work and financial struggles. He learned that Mr. Wilson’s wife had suffered a stroke, and their financial situation had grown dire. Michael, filled with gratitude, decided to repay his mentor in a life-changing way. He arranged for the renovation of the Wilsons’ home, covering medical expenses, and set up a trust fund to secure their future.
This act of kindness transformed not only Mr. Wilson’s life but also inspired the entire community, showing that sometimes the most impactful victories are measured in acts of kindness rather than championships.
In celebration of its 30th anniversary, Jordan Brand set up a special gift to the greatest player of all time’s hometown. The brand went back to Michael Jordan’s roots by fully renovating his high school gym at Emsley A. Laney High School in Wilmington, North Carolina. Everything from the floors to the lighting and the trophy cases received a makeover, including a new display of Air Jordan sneakers, photos and other artifacts in the lobby, as well as a full repainting of the gym in the school’s blue and yellow team colors. This was where Jordan’s legacy first began, where he was given the number 23 by chance only because his older brother had taken his favorite number 45 while playing on the school’s varsity team. In conjunction with the school’s ongoing Fred Lynch Invitational tournament, a temporary Jordan Brand experience was also set up that offers school athletes free haircuts as well as a brand new player’s lounge. With the new makeover Jordan hopes to inspire current students and to facilitate a conducive environment for young athletes at the school.
