Michael Jordan is an expert at taking things personally. If he isn’t taking things personally, is that even Jordan? He needs to outsmart the competition. He can use any perceived slight to destroy his competition. It is no secret that this fueled him throughout his playing career. He became one of the greatest basketball players by dunking mercilessly on them.

No player on earth didn’t feel Jordan’s determination and rage. Antoine Walker felt the same while trying to compete with Jordan, off the court. He didn’t have a happy ending.

The story goes that the former NBA player decided to flex his Ferrari while going for a workout at the gym. Jordan was at the same gym, and he did not like Walker’s attitude. He took it personally and decided to out-flex him. MJ wasn’t impressed at Walker trying to be an “alpha.”

For the next week, Jordan showed up at the gym with seven different Ferraris. He also matched up his jumpsuits with the car. It was a victory of epic proportions. MJ did the ultimate flex and no one can compete with that, not even Antoine Walker.

Michael Jordan is the first athlete billionaire

Jordan is no ordinary man. He is one of the first basketball billionaires in the world. His brand deal with Nike earned him billions of dollars. Jordan helped Nike leave the competition in the dust. Nike earned $40 billion in 2019 compared to Adidas’ $16 billion. The Air Jordan brand is one of the highest-selling products for Nike. It has a revenue of $3.1 billion.

He also owns the Charlotte Hornets. They are worth $1.5 billion and he owns a 97% stake in them. He has no intention of relinquishing it despite bad performances. He bought the entire Charlotte franchise for $175 million and made it a financially viable franchise. His yearly earnings are worth $145 million.
