Initially, Twitter thought it was Tracy Kornet, mother to Bulls big man Luke Kornet. She’s a Nashville news anchor and known to be vocal at her kids’ sporting events. Soon after, when reached by The Athletic Indiana, she clarified that it was not her, though she has an uncanny resemblance and her phone was blowing up because of it. “I was just kidding,” she said. “That is not me. It looks exactly like me though — and I have long been known as a rabid fan (who does NOT curse) during my kids’ high school years in Dallas (especially my daughter’s state championship game) and all of my husband’s and son’s years playing at Vanderbilt. “Luke now plays for the Bulls, but I have learned how to control myself. He would be mortified. (Unless someone makes a cheap shot and tries to give him a head injury. Then look out.)”

Kathy Martin Harrison didn’t remember she had signed a waiver. After all, it was 22 years ago. But after seeing herself on ESPN’s “The Last Dance,” her phone blew up and she became a viral meme, the light went on. “Before the game started, a national TV guy came up to us and said, ‘Look, we’re filming a lot of footage of Michael Jordan for a movie,’” Harrison recalled in an appearance on Dan Dakich’s radio show Monday. “‘And if we show you in any of the footage, would you sign a release?’ We signed a release.”
