23XI Racing Owner Michael Jordan Would Bet Against His Own Driver Bubba Wallace to Motivate Him

If there was one takeaway from ‘The Last Dance’, it has to be the insanely competitive nature of Michael Jordan. Be it on the court with a basketball or with a golf ball or even with throwing coins, Jordan wants to win.

Such is his drive to win that he won’t shy away from taking extreme, often questionable measures to satisfy his unsatisfiable itch.

And if one thinks, now that he has retired or he is old, now that he has reached the ‘GOAT’ level of greatness, that he has changed, that he has become satisfied or, God forbid, less motivated, think again.

Because Michael Jordan is still the competitor he was, something NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace recently re-established.

In a recent appearance at Jimmie Kimmel Live, Bubba Wallace described the tactics his boss uses to fire him up. “He’s always finding ways to motivate you whether that’s kind of betting against you or saying things,” Wallace said. “He’ll fire you up.”

“He’s like, ‘Oh you won’t do this today.’ And then you go out and do it, and he’s like, ‘Oh you did it. Good job.'” 

But regardless, Bubba Wallace believes being around Michael Jordan “is actually really fun.” And why won’t it be? Who hasn’t been around bosses that want you to succeed by wanting you to fail?
