Not a lot of people have the audacity to challenge Michael Jordan, let alone roast him verbally. Recently, an old clip resurfaced on social media where a famed actor was spotted hilariously trolling the legend after his grand comeback in 1995. The late film icon would have turned 66 if he were still with us today. In commemoration of the indelible impact he left on the world, Sirius XM and Kevin Hart’s ‘Hartbeat’ have unveiled a series of previously unreleased clips from the early days of the legendary athlete’s career.?

Named ‘Bernie Mac: Tapes From a King,’ the series unearthed an old clip from the actor’s interview with the 6x NBA champion.?

Michael Jordan was questioned about his “rocking chair”

It was rather interesting to watch the basketball legend react to the late actor. During a comedic interview, the actor Bernie Mac asked about the feelings of the Chicago Bulls legend upon his 1995 return to the league. While many might have hesitated, Mac had the confidence to directly ask Jordan how he felt about returning to the game at the age of 33.

He asked him, “How do you mentally feel by playing another full season after your comeback being old at 33.”?

After seeing a slight frown on Mike’s face Mac pushed the ante by making his tone clearer. He asked the 5x NBA MVP how it felt to return to the hardwood after “getting up out of your rocking chair, so to speak.”

At first, MJ appeared surprised by the question, but he quickly caught on to the playful tone. When Mac referred to him as the “old man Jordan” his words were received with Jordan?s laughter. Here is the post featuring their interaction.

Not only the actor, but the entire world was eager to hear the answer to his question.
