Utah, Dec 12 (THAINDIAN NEWS) A NBA Development League team has refunded the ticket prices to the numerous fans who went to a Utah Flash game and expected Michael Jordan to play in a charity exhibition at halftime. But instead of the real hero, his lookalike turned up which disappointed the fans no end.
A Michael Jordan look alike was then introduced to face former Utah Jazz guard Bryon Russell in a promotional event, but this trick has now back-fired and is going to cost Flash owner Brandt Andersen a lot as he then had to refund the ticket prices of all the thousands of fans who expected the real hero but got a cheap lookalike instead.
The eager fans were understandably very furious when they found out that they had the cheap lookalike instead of the real Michael Jordan. The sexy cheerleaders tried their best to lure the crowd back and to do so, they even threw some t-shirts into the crowd, but the furious crowd was angry and threw them back.
Utah Flash owner Brandt Andersen then had to issue an apology, which stated, “If you were at the game tonight I hope you had fun. This was done in fun. If you did not see it as fun or you feel we went over the top I am sorry.”
