Sluyter said via Sotheby's, ‘Michael Jordan and I got along really well in the Finals and he was very humble and sincere in all of his interactions.

After Jordan took care of the media, talked to the coaches, and cared for a Make-a-Wish Foundation child, I asked him if he would sign the shoes. He did it with a smile and said “Have a good night”. I wished him good luck and finished up my work for the night,’ he continued.
