Very few individuals in the world would pass up the opportunity to engage in basketball discussions with the widely regarded greatest of all time (GOAT), Michael Jordan, let alone have the privilege of watching a basketball game alongside the legendary six-time NBA Champion. Recently, a 29-year-old NASCAR driver shared his remarkable experience of enjoying a basketball game with Michael ‘Jeffrey’ Jordan.
