A few days back when the picture of the legendary sporting icons was surfing around the internet. Evert took to her account to share the complete picture from the event, where she was accompanied by Billie Jean King and other legends like Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan. 

Before sharing the complete picture, the Hall of Famer commented on an incomplete picture sharing that she still cherishes this picture and it’s there, hung up on her wall. Over that post, the 64 years old American sportswriter, Rick Reilly, commented, “This photo is real. I was standing there. Michael was sitting on a stool. The weird lighting is caused by the reflection of Christie’s white shirt as she takes a pic of it on her wall.”
