Michael Jordan is an iconic sportsman and businessman. His contribution to the sporting world is arguably unparallel. The 59-year-old legend has an estimated net worth of $1.7 billion dollars, making him the richest player in NBA history. With such achievements certainly comes global fame. Jordan’s fan base is self-explanatory. Even the greatest of today’s generation grew up watching the Chicago Bulls legend play. With all the fame and money also comes responsibility.

Back in 1997, Michael Jordan appeared on ‘The Keenen Ivory Wayans Show’. They talked about different aspects of Jordan’s life. Just like a family man, Jordan talked about wanting to spend time with his wife and kids, go out for dinner then to the movies. All of this is undoubtedly very hard for Jordon and his family because people are constantly intervening in their private time while out in public.

Michael Jordan recalls a funny fan moment

The Hall of Famer then recalled a fan engagement in which a female fan approached him and asked him to sign a napkin for her. Then he mentioned his wife Juanita by saying, “She’s a bulldog, won’t let that happen too often”. Jordan spoke about how his wife Juanita would not let a fan invade their private time. The audience started laughing upon hearing MJ’s remarks.
