Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan celebrated his birthday on Friday in Chicago, and it’s fair to say he put up a show. Jordan celebrated his upcoming 57th birthday at Cinespace Chicago Film Studios’ Little Village complex. Attendees didn’t know the location of Friday’s party until Thursday.
According to the Chicago Tribune, singer Miguel performed. Moreover, Trail Blazers forward Carmelo Anthony, Celtics guard Kemba Walker, Lakers forward Anthony Davis and Rockets guard Russell Westbrook were among the 250 to 300 people in attendance.
Former UCL gymnast Katelyn Ohashi also attended the party, stealing the show with her dance moves.

Jordan is set to turn 57 this Monday, being one of the most influential sportsmen in history. Apparently, the GOAT not only knows how to dunk the ball, win championships and inspire everybody around him, but how to throw parties, as well.
