There is no denying that Michael Jordan is one of the greatest players ever. The Chicago Bulls legend has one of the most impressive trophy cabinets and is widely regarded as the greatest basketball player ever. 

Apart from his elite basketball skill, the thing that set Michael apart from everyone was his mentality. He was known to be an upright leader, ready to take any steps in order to win. This has led to various misconceptions that Jordan is the same person when he is not playing basketball.

This myth was busted by his own son. Talking in an interview, Marcus Jordan revealed interesting details regarding MJ. He said, “One of the biggest misconceptions was that he couldn’t turn that [competitiveness] off. He definitely could turn it off and be a dad. But when it was on, it was on.”
