On the latest episode of ‘Reach the People Media’, Coach Prime talked about when Jordan picked him up in his car and took him around the city.

He said, “He came by and picked me up and the little Porsche and we going to a restaurant and security all around us and everything and it was just uh that was the first time we ever spent time together.” The pair shared a fantastic equation together as they continued to dominate all the sports they stepped foot into. There’s a reason why Sanders is an NFL Hall of Famer and Jordan has been inducted into the Hall of Fame twice in his career. One of the greatest athletes of their time, the fans couldn’t be more fascinated to hear the untold story. While Jordan never set foot on the court again after his retirement, it seems as if Sanders wasn’t done with football as he returned to the field as a coach. Though he entered the sport with an epic debut, it seems as if his team is currently on their way to a downfall.
