Finding Michael Jordan at sporting events has become a rare sight in the past decade, as the Hall of Famer has preferred to live his life out of the limelight. However, occasionally heโs been spotted, but rarely around the basketball world. The Bulls icon attended Saturdayโs Pro Football Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
Reporters noticed how Jordan approached former Colts great Marvin Harrison for a quick chat, in which he was seen telling the wide receiver that he wanted to sign his son to his brand. โGood luck on your son, man!โ he told the father. โIโve been trying to sign him with the Jordan Brand, but Nike took him! Man, I loved him!โ
The ex-NBA superstar probably isnโt used to getting rejected, but it seems even one of the greatest basketball players of all time can find himself humbled. And he wasnโt wrong; the new NFL rookie seems to have the potential to even surpass his own fatherโs career in professional football.
Jordan and Julius Peppers: A Special Connection
During this eventful appearance in Canton, Ohio, MJ was also there for his friend Dwight Freeney’s induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s 2024 class. But another memorable moment came during Julius Peppers’ induction speech.
Peppers gave a heartfelt shoutout to Jordan: "Iโm not going to sit up here and act like my idol and one of the reasons I went to Chapel Hill is not in the building… MJ, I love you big bro," he said.
We love seeing these moments between legends!
Kevin Hart’s Feud with Michael Jordan
Actor Kevin Hart recently addressed why MJ never talked to him again after some jokes he made almost a decade ago. According to Hart, everything Jordan does ends up twisted or exaggerated by media attention.
โIt was quick. It was all in fun,โ Hart said about their interaction years ago. โMichael had an attitude; he hasnโt talked to me since.โ

Eight years ago on Jimmy Kimmelโs talk show, Hart explained what happened between them: โHis response? I donโt give a s**t… I’m 45 years old and itโs very hard to bother me.โ Seems like not much has changed since then!
