There are some names in sports that cross all the barriers and set a new threshold for greatness. Back in his era, David Beckham did that with soccer. Not only was he a legendary midfielder, but he also sets many standards that follow and tries to look their best. Across the pond, in a different sport, one name has already won the league before David Beckham even made his debut.
That name was none other than NBA mega-legend Michael Jordan. He is among the most decorated and celebrated athletes in the sporting sphere, with a legacy that has been told and retold thousands of times. Across his 14 years of career, he has made countless fans from his sport and other sports.

David Beckham praised Air
David Beckham has talked about many times how much he idolized the NBA legend. It appears his wife is also going on the same path. Yesterday the star couple went to see a movie based on Michael Jordan’s elusive career and has raised the roof for it.
#Air is one of the best dad movies I’ve seen in a while and I’m not just saying that because Matt Damon has the most accurate dad bod representation I’ve ever seen on screen
It’s fun, has a bumpin 80s soundtrack, and is filled to the brim with winks & nudges towards the audience pic.twitter.com/XJ5M7RTaye

The inspiration behind no. 23
While playing for Real Madrid, David Beckham wore no. 23. In his biography, he revealed the inspiration behind the chosen number. He wrote, “On the back: 23 with ‘Beckham’ over the numerals. Nobody knew, outside the club, what my squad number was going to be. I could hear voices out in the hall: ‘Veinte y tres.’ Twenty-three. Then, a moment later: ‘Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan.’ He wasn’t just a hero for me, then.”
