The great player from Alabama met the greatest in basketball history at a recent NASCAR event. If things go according to his plan, this picture will surely end up meaning a lot to Jalen Milroe 10 years down the line.

Jalen Milroe, the quarterback for the Alabama Crimson Tide, is the spine behind the team’s success. After the events of Nick Saban’s exit, he took charge like a true leader and worked closely with the new HC, Kalen DeBoer, to increase the team’s overall performance. But while he is trying to step up and be the man for Alabama, he sure looks like an innocent child right next to the Air Jordan himself.

The GEICO 500 race that took place on 22nd April saw the Alabama players out and about to witness the grand event. Jalen Milroe, Malachi Moore, Kobe Prentice, DeVonta Smith, and several others were seen in the pits with RFK Racing’s pit crew members. All the guys were posing with the crew members but the one that is making all the rounds on Twitter is the one with Jalen Milroe and Michael Jordan.

Jalen Milroe and Jordan looked well-dressed in cream and an all-black outfit, respectively. Moreover, Michael Jordan, the Chicago Bulls legend, is the co-owner of the 23XI Racing team with NASCAR regular Denny Hamlin. What was even more fabulous for Jorda was that Tyler Riddick drove car number 45 and took first place! Thus, while Milroe looks like an adorable fan right next to the basketball HoFer, Jordan looks ecstatic since his car won the race itself. With all that said, the youngster might just go on to become a legend someday since DeBoer’s appreciation for the QB places him among the country’s top 1%.

In the 2023 season, Kalen DeBoer led the Washington Huskies to the finals of the natty before losing out to the Michigan Wolverines in an unfortunate turn of events. Now, he was given the incredible opportunity to take over the reins of Alabama from the legendary Nick Saban and he did just that.

Moreover, it seems like DeBoer has already found his favorite in the QB, Jalen Milroe, as the words of appreciation will surely improve his confidence vastly. DeBoer said, “Really happy with what we’ve seen and I think as a runner, he needs to understand that that’s a skill set that 99% of the country doesn’t have and he is that guy and he can go at any time the length of the field and keep coordinators holding their breath each and every night.
