A netizen pointed out and commented on Marjorie’s post saying Anderson also sported jersey number 3 in the basketball competition of the all-star games.
“Let me correct this before the story gets big and out of hand again. Number 3 has always been Julia’s jersey number since her high school varsity days. No special meaning,” Marjorie’s reply to the netizen read.
