He arguably has this much bigger influence over the game. The basketball fans often try to mimic the shots of Jordan while playing or just practicing.

Recently, WWE superstar Bayley was spotted playing basketball. She posted the video on her Twitter account and tagged fellow WWE star, Angelo Dawkins. The tweet said, “Goodnight @AngeloDawkins.”

Bayley once compared Sasha Banks with Michael Jordan?

A couple of years back, when Bayley was the dominant WWE superstar on SmackDown, she had an interview with Sports Illustrated. She was discussing the ongoing Michael Jordan documentary, The Last Dance, and how it has similarities to wrestling. Bayley also compared Sasha Banks with Michael Jordan and herself to Kobe Bryant.

Bayley said, “Honestly, I don’t know, it’s hard to say that. I always say that Sasha is the greatest of all-time, and I truly believe that, even though I am the champion right now and a Grand Slam women’s champion and I’ve won Money in the Bank.”

She added, “I’ve done a lot of things, but I wouldn’t be able to do all of that without her and learning from her mindset. So if she wants to be Jordan, that’s OK. I was always a Kobe fan, so maybe I can be Kobe and she can be Jordan.”
