NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan was surely inundated with letters from fans during his playing career. One came from an unlikely source. 

On Saturday, ESPN's Michael Wilbon said on SportsCenter that he once met a nun on an airplane as he was flying to Chicago to cover the Bulls, and that the nun requested he give a letter to Michael Jordan.

Wilbon added that he never asked Jordan if he read the letter and didn't take a look at it himself, so he's unaware of what the nun wrote. But even the clergy were interested in reaching out to His Airness.
