In the latest episode of Off-Air with Julie Stewart-Binks, veteran reporter Laura Okmin made an appearance on the podcast. There, she shared a story about the G.O.A.T of basketball. Revealing that she had devised a game off of MJ’s immense popularity, the FOX reporter stated, “I used to play a game whenever I was at whatever arena,?and I would always be looking away from the court.”
Continuing to explain Laura revealed that even though she was looking away from the court she would know when “Michael walked in.”
Apparently, Okmin could tell when Michael Jordan had entered by simply looking at the audience. She noted that they would all tilt in the direction of MJ.
Elaborating further, the 49-year-old explained, “You don’t even have to be looking, you know he’s there. So, I used to always love playing that game, when?is Michael here?”
Taking this into consideration it is no surprise that Michael continues to drool over attention. This was recently observed when MJ stole his partner’s thunder in under 5 seconds.
