 I bet you didn't know why Michael Jordan wore number 23 on his jersey. MJ was motivated as a child by his older brother Larry, so they decided to both wear the jersey number 45 and when they became partners on the same team, they couldn't wear the same number, so he decided to split the number 45 in half and rounded it up to 23 and that's how he got the number 23. He then wore that number in college and then went on to the NBA to create one of the most iconic jersey numbers in history. So subscribe so you can tell your friends.
