Shug used to joke that it was pronounced Jordan, "like the river"... as if the name of the site of Jesus Christ's baptism was, you know, pronounced the way he pronounced his last name (and wanted everyone else to pronounce it), not the way that basketball player or Martha Reed Garvin pronounces it.

It’s Pronounced Jordan: Time to rebrand the Auburn-Georgia rivalry?
