For fans, Jordan's visit a slam dunk

CHAMPAIGN – The Assembly Hall entertained its most famous guest – ever? – on Saturday.

You could make a case that title goes to Elvis, who rocked the joint in 1976. But the King probably did not sit on aluminum bleachers like Michael Jordan did on Saturday. And don't forget Bill Clinton's visit in 1998, though the prez wasn't there to watch his son play in a Big Ten basketball game.
