Michael Jordan may not have been the tallest athlete in the NBA, but he certainly was one of the most destructive. The Chicago Bulls legend won six championships for the franchise in the 1990s. His Airness took pleasure in taking down the toughest and tallest of opponents. At 6’6, Jordan once made WWE legend Ric Flair look small in a recent video shared by the former world champ on Twitter.

Apart from being one of the most successful athletes in the NBA, Michael Jordan holds a unique record for the highest vertical jump in the NBA. He has the record for the highest (48 inches) vertical jump with a rim hang time of 0.92 seconds. Jordan was quite proficient at getting to higher levels than his opponents. Thus, it was tough for defenders to block or stop MJ from smashing the ball into the hoop.

Ric Flair is believed to be the greatest professional wrestler of all time by many experts. Similarly, Jordan is considered the greatest in the NBA. Thus, the two GOATS came together humbly, considering their great achievements in their respective sports. Flair shared the video on his Twitter with a caption, “Real Recognizes Real! WOOOOO! #Michael Jordan”

Flair went by the ring name The Black Scorpion during his days in the WWE. He reportedly claimed to have won 21 WWE world championships during his long and fruitful career. Meanwhile, Jordan along with former head coach Phil Jackson turned the Bulls into a winning team. The Jordan-led Chicago Bulls team is still considered one of the best in the league.
