After First Massive NASCAR Triumph, Michael Jordan Shares $5,790,000 Purse With 30 People Only to Taste Sweet Victory

After winning literally every major and individual accolade in the NBA, one can argue that there is nothing left for Michael Jordan to pursue. Turns out, two decades after hanging up his boots, he’s dominating a rather unique and interesting arena. Ball fans might be surprised to know what MJ is up to these days.

Renowned dunker Michael Jordan frequently caught bodies inside the paint. But this time around he caught a rather special 75 pounder and won a major accolade.

Michael Jordan becomes the king of the sea

The Black Cat was the undisputed king of the hardwood during his prime. The Chicago Bulls legend was known to be intensely competitive on and off the court. He has, on several occasions, made it clear he got involved in gambling because of his will to win. Recently, Mike took his competitive spirit to a totally different realm and established his dominance there too. This time, MJ took over the fishing world!

The 32nd edition of the Mid Atlantic Fishing tournament just went down in Cape May, New Jersey.

Six-time champion Michael Jordan took part in the competition and carrying on his reputation of being a serial winner came third in the tournament. In the white Marlin category Jordan’s Catch 23 was able to get their hands on a 75 pounder.

Nearly three dozens participants shared the prize pool of $5.79 million. Jordan, after establishing his dominance in basketball, wants to leave his mark in other areas.

After all, this victory comes just days after his NASCAR team 23XI achieved the massive feat of qualifying for the playoffs.

Bubba Wallace comes up big

23XI Racing, MJ’s team, was in a do or die situation recently. If Bubba Wallace lost the last race, his team would have lost a lot of money.

Notably, co-owner of 23XI Racing, Denny Hamlin had surmised that the team would “miss out on earning huge sums of money” by missing the postseason.

MJ’s racing team was already out of contention for the owner’s championship. But Wallace thankfully secured the 16th spot for the NASCAR postseason. A cheerful Michael Jordan greeted the whole NASCAR racing team on the pit road.

Mike might have hung up his boots from the game of basketball but his dominance in the sporting world continues. It’ll be interesting to see how does 23XI fares in the upcoming playoffs and if Bubba Wallace will create history this year or not.
