Michael Jordan really hadnβt touched a basketball in years, until one moment at the Ryder Cup changed everything. During an interview with Mike Tirico, Jordan revealed he rented a house during the Ryder Cup that had a basketball court, and the homeowner asked him to shoot just one free throw so his grandkids could see the greatest ever in action. MJ admitted he was βthe most nervousβ heβd been in years because those kids only knew the legendary stories of Chicago Bulls Michael Jordan from 30 years ago, and he hadnβt even picked up a ball in forever. But in classic Jordan fashion, he stepped to the line and absolutely swished it. The moment instantly reminded everyone why Michael Jordanβs legacy still lives on decades later, from his six NBA championships and clutch mentality to becoming the ultimate icon of basketball greatness.
