For the great Michael Jordan to be put on blast is rare. The highly respected Chicago Bulls legend, even after his retirement holds a significant position in the NBA world. The billionaire has created an empire around his name that demands respect, but a few days ago people heard a very different opinion on the 6x NBA Champion. Recently, his Airness had to face that brunt of a tirade coming from renowned sports media personality, Colin Cowherd.

Known for his impressive business mindset, Jordan was called “selfish” by Cowherd after his decision involving the Charlotte Hornets.  Jordan has been called selfish before, but the other term is not so common. Cowherd also called him a “failure” during his rant but now he is backtracking from his comments. In the recent episode of his podcast, the media personality was seen singing praises of the NBA legend.

Cowherd overturns his recent rant on Jordan

Colin Cowherd hosts the show The Herd with Colin Cowherd. On a recent episode, he called Jordan “fascinating” and “the greatest”. The unusual sight of Jordan being roasted by the host didn’t last very long. Cowherd while comparing LeBron James with Michael Jordan said that they are two of the best basketball players he has ever seen. He added that Jordan is more “interesting” than James. Cowherd continued, “That 10-part documentary (The Last Dance) on Michael Jordan, fascinating”.

Cowherd explained himself by describing how the athlete in an earlier era had an air of mystery around him. Every last detail was not revealed about the personality’s life. At a time when not much was put out for the world to see and in the absence of social media, stars used to carry a certain value in the public eye. Cowherd said that even though Jordan was the most popular athlete of his time, his life was not available for the world to see. Continuing on his point, Cowherd said “Mystery is powerful” in order to highlight the issue with the current generation of athletes.
