?I Wonder Why That Sounds Familiar?: Fans Raise Eyebrows at Billionaire Michael Jordan for Supposedly Copying McDonald?s

Over the years, NBA superstars have proven to have the business acumen to create successful income streams. Legends like Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Shaquille O’Neal are living proof of it. MJ has been a step ahead of everyone, as he has successfully created a $1.7 Billion fortune. Although his income sources are mainly from the ‘Jordan Brand’, a part of it can be credited to his popular restaurant Michael Jordan’s Steakhouse as well. However, recently, fans noticed something fishy at the hoop GOAT’s popular establishment.

Recently, a YouTuber documented his visit to Michael Jordan’s Steakhouse, while he rated the food from the Bulls legend’s restaurant. However, there was a minute detail that had fans look very closely. After observing the detail, it’d be safe to say that fans were a bit amused by a startling resemblance with McDonald’s, that could be construed as a clever marketing strategy.

Michael Jordan’s successful restaurant business and how it came to life

The Michael Jordan’s Steakhouse has been MJ’s successful venture into the restaurant business. However, the former Chicago White Sox player didn’t hit a home run on his first swing.?

The six-time NBA champion had previously been involved in helping the eponymous restaurant. Unfortunately, the restaurant had to close its doors in just six years despite the numerous inputs from MJ himself.

Sometime later, MJ decided to take control as he built a restaurant business from scratch while learning from the past. Michael Jordan’s Steakhouse started in 1997-98 and after 25 years, it is successfully running at four locations in the country.

Recently a popular YouTuber named Tommy Winkler, decided to tell more about the restaurant’s food by accepting a challenge from one of his subscribers. While he completed the challenge, fans noticed a weird connection of the restaurant’s menu with the popular fast food chain, McDonald’s.

Fans discover funny detail as they watch popular Youtuber gobble up food from MJ’s steakhouse

In the video, Winkler named every dish in the establishment before eating it. So when he was eating a burger, viewers were surprised when he called it a ‘Big Mike’. The name is an obvious play off of McDonald’s famous burger, the Big Mac. However, it isn’t something new, as restaurants have been using such clever marketing tactics to rake in customers.

A good example would be the popular fast food chain, Wendy’s taking a dig at McDonald’s every now and then.
