If you could have dinner with anyone from any era, who would it be…I would probably want to sit and talk to Michael Jordan. Just pick his brain from what he did as a kid to when he went professional and his journey because you never really hear about a Michael Jordan story other than him not making his high school team.
One word to describe your feeling when you will put on the ASU uniform for the first time…
When I put on an ASU jersey I honestly don't know how I will feel. I know I will probably be super excited.
