Giving a Rare Glimpse of 9YO Twins, Michael Jordan Beats Italy Heat With Decades-Old Addiction

Life isn’t easy as the GOAT. Recent controversies about the sale of MJ’s NBA franchise, and his son’s relationship with Scottie Pippen’s ex-wife, might have taken a toll on the six-time champion. So, Michael Jordan is resting in one of the most luxurious places in Europe with another legendary hooper. He was seen beating the heat wave while indulging in a decades-old tradition.

MJ has a reputation for being a private personality. He rarely shares details about his family with his fan base. Recently he did provide a rare glimpse of his twin daughters, who he shares with his second wife Yvette Prietto.

MJ beats the heat in style

Earlier this month, His Airness was spotted participating in Magic Johnson’s star-studded summer vacation. A few days ago, MJ was spotted dining at the Cala di Volpe Hotel in Sardinia, Italy.

He was seen with his model wife and his nine-year-old twin daughters. Cala di Volpe is notorious for being an expensive place where a bottle of water might cost around $20. But the price tag might not be an issue for the highest-earning athlete of all time.

In an article published by Daily Mail, Jordan was seen beating the heatwave by indulging in his love for cigars on the Italian island. The Bulls legend has been known to be a tobacco aficionado. Of course, there’s the iconic photo from ’96 of MJ with the Larry O’Brien trophy in hand and a cigar in mouth.

Turns out, it pays to be one of the all-time greats. The five-time MVP has been a trending entity in the basketball world for decades. But recently, his public activity has ramped up.

Magic, Jordan and Oscar-winner Samuel L. Jackson spent time listening to classic Italian tunes during a charming dinner. While Magic and MJ have always shared a mutual respect, it’s nice to see the legends extend their relationship beyond the hardwood.

After cashing out on one of his most profitable investments, Michael Jordan certainly has time and money on his hands. Who better to spend it with?

Michael Jordan sells the Charlotte Hornets

The Charlotte Hornets only won three playoff games in the past decade.

Jordan had a reputation for being a serial winner during his time as an athlete. While it didn’t translate for the Hornets, all was not lost for MJ. He agreed to sell the Hornets last month for a massive amount of $3 billion. The ten-time scoring champion bought the team in 2010 for $275 million.

Clearly, the profits speak for themselves. Pending league approval, MJ is expecting a huge cash influx soon. When it does, we can only hope that part of that will be spent with other NBA legends like Magic Johnson.
