Alvarado was the center of attention, with the aura of a budding NBA star.
Spectators posed with his Jordan Rising Stars MVP trophy. Pelicans teammates joined him on the court. He trekked through the bleachers for hugs and photos.
The school presented Alvarado with a framed high-school jersey, a No. 10 that won’t be worn again in the program. They also framed his No. 15 from the Pelicans. “There’s a lot of people that wear the No. 10 and it’s special,” Alvarado said, “and for me to have the last chance with that, it’s an honor. It’s an honor.”
When Arbitello first mentioned the jersey retirement, Alvarado didn’t believe it. The pair have spoken often since, and Alvarado became more excited each time. Then, recently, Alvarado broke his own news to Arbitello: “Your boy’s an All-Star,” as he revealed his Jordan Rising Stars selection. Jose Alvarado’s jersey was retired by Christ the King on Friday.“It’s like he’s still a junior in high school when I talk to him,” Arbitello told The Post.
