From Winning six NBA titles and despite retiring three times, he is also now the owner of the Charlotte Hornets and is an entrepreneur with a popular sneakers line.

Michael B. isn’t related to MJ in any way. His name actually comes from his father, Michael A. Jordan. So, the one thing that helps differentiate between the two is the middle name, as B stands for Bakari.

But have these two stars ever met? Michael B. opens up about his first meet-up with the legend. And how he is now ready to collaborate with him on any project.

I don’t even think he knew who I was at the time.”
