Move over, championship rings: Michael Jordan is getting another award, this time from the Charlotte Chamber. The basketball legend is this year’s Citizen of the Carolinas, joining the ranks of his former Tar Heels coach, the Federal Reserve chairman and other VIPs with Carolinas ties, the Chamber announced Friday.
The award is given annually to a person from North Carolina or South Carolina who has brought positive recognition to the states. Jordan made the cut because of his success on and off the court and his charitable contributions, Chamber officials said in a press release.
