The son of the Chicago Bulls legend posted the picture of the gifted poster on his social media. Sending a shoutout to his mother, Marcus Jordan wrote that when he reposted the dunk video in his Instagram story last time, it reminded him of the poster that his mother gifted him a few birthdays ago.
"S/O TO MY LOVELY MOTHER @IAMTHEONLYONEJUANITA FOR GIFTING ME THIS DOPE POSTER OF THAT PREVIOUS DUNK, POSTING THAT REMINDED ME WHEN SHE GIFTED ME THIS A BUNCH OF BDAYS AGO," Marcus wrote in the caption.

"Hahaha throwback," Marcus wrote in his story.
"That salute was to my brother [Jeffrey] in the stands, they T'd me up for it. Times have changed."
