A group of people gathering outdoors among lush green plants and flowers, with large trees and umbrellas providing shade. Some are wearing casual clothing and sunglasses, and a few are looking towards the front where the focus is on a person dressed in a black basketball jersey with the number 23 and the name Jordan on it.
