Michael Jordan, who stayed out of the spotlight after retiring from the NBA nearly two decades ago remains as strong as ever.
His former agent revealed that Jordan once turned down a $100 million offer for just two-hours appearance in an event.
“I brought him a deal three years ago for $100 million. All he had to do was, other than giving his name and likeness, make a one two-hour appearance to announce the deal and he turned it down,” Falk said Wednesday, without providing any further details about the deal.
“God bless him. He’s been so successful, it gives him an opportunity to do whatever the hell he wants or not to do things he doesn’t want. I really admire that. He’s very, very selective in the things he wants to be involved in.”
Jordan made headline last month after his documentary "the Last Dance" was released. The ESPN series premiered on April 19 and will air on Sunday nights over five weeks through May 17.
The 1990s Chicago Bulls, led by Jordan, remains one of the greatest dynasties in sports history. The ESPN series features never-before-seen footage from the 1997-98 season, along with interviews from a star-studded cast.
