Dude Who Kept Michael Jordan Signed Check From 1984 Billiards Bet, Puts It Up For Auction

Some dude who was playing and betting Michael Jordan in billiards at North Carolina back in the day, is now putting a five dollar check up for auction that he received from the Bulls legend that day...
quote:
According to the auction site, the story goes like this ... and it's pretty awesome.
It was February 27, 1984 and Jordan -- in the mood to play pool -- went to the basement of the Granville Towers on UNC's campus ... and proceeded to dominate on the table.
The guys were betting money ... and MJ was up $25.
A friend of the guy Jordan was beating thought Michael was hustling his buddy, so he stepped in to play MJ ... and win back some of the money he'd lost.
MJ lost a few games in a row -- which the consignor says irritated Jordan -- so he decided to cash out and take the 5 bucks he was owed.
The friend -- realizing Jordan was likely going to be an NBA superstar -- asked Michael if he could pay him with a personal check.
Michael accepted ...and the UNC student wrote the check to "Mike Jordan" -- the name basketball phenom went by on campus.
