Former Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan did not stop with basketball. Adding victories to his resume might be a hobby for the six-time champion. After his impeccable career in basketball, Jordan shifted his interests and investments toward NASCAR. However, the narrative for the 5x MVP might be different here.

48-time NASCAR series cup winner Denny Hamlin, who is a minority partner in Jordan’s racing company, the “23XI”, had a tough loss yesterday. Though the loss was a surprise, Jordan’s trash talk with his former NBA rival is not new.
