Now any player that attends his alma mater, <strong>Laney High School<\/strong> in North Carolina, is no doubt reminded of his harrowing tale and that sheer will and dedication often trumps talent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordan Brand<\/strong> continues to punctuate those heroics at Laney today with an all-new Jumpman friendly court and glowing shoe display. They&#8217;ve also aided the school in adding a media center, updated the class and locker rooms, and simply continuing to be a presence in the school&#8217;s ongoing success.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_553028\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-553028\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" onerror=\"this.src='https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2023\/12\/404-dead-image.jpg'\" class=\"size-full wp-image-553028\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2017\/08\/Laney-High-School-.jpg\" alt=\"Laney High School\" width=\"900\" height=\"481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2017\/08\/Laney-High-School-.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2017\/08\/Laney-High-School--325x174.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2017\/08\/Laney-High-School--750x401.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2017\/08\/Laney-High-School--720x385.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-553028\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Laney High School<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_553029\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-553029\" style=\"width: 940px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" onerror=\"this.src='https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2023\/12\/404-dead-image.jpg'\" class=\"size-full wp-image-553029\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2017\/08\/michael-jordan-laney-high-school-display-case.jpg\" alt=\"Laney High School\" width=\"940\" height=\"625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2017\/08\/michael-jordan-laney-high-school-display-case.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2017\/08\/michael-jordan-laney-high-school-display-case-325x216.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2017\/08\/michael-jordan-laney-high-school-display-case-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2017\/08\/michael-jordan-laney-high-school-display-case-720x480.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-553029\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Laney High School<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.starnewsonline.com\/sports\/20170823\/laney-shows-off-new-gym\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Star News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the years, much has been made of Michael Jordan being cut from his varsity basketball team in the late&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":137731,"featured_media":553028,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1225574],"tags":[1225575,1225586],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.0 (Yoast SEO v24.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Michael Jordan&#039;s Alma Mater Gets New Court and Shoe Display Courtesy of Jordan Brand | Snkrs Day<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Where to buy Michael Jordan&#039;s Alma Mater Gets New Court and Shoe Display Courtesy of Jordan Brand shoes.
