Kyle Busch, Bubba Wallace, & Fans Trash Christopher Bell’s Stupid Mistake Involving Michael Jordan’s “Space Jam” Brilliance

Michael Jordan is not just a legendary figure in the NBA, but a household name globally. His involvement with NASCAR, particularly with the 23XI Racing team, reinforces his wide-reaching influence, making his recognition effectively universal within the sporting world.

Surprisingly, a recent video from NASCAR displayed Christopher Bell‘s confusion when shown a picture of Jordan in a well-known partially animated film, Space Jam. Bubba Wallace, a fellow driver, and teammate under Jordan, added to the hilarity by feigning his own confusion about Jordan’s identity.

The moment led to a bout of teasing from Wallace, Kyle Busch, and fans directed at Bell for his lack of familiarity with the iconic sports figure.

Right at the start of the video, a bewildered, Kyle Busch stated, “What? There was anybody that did not know Michael Jordan?”

As the video progressed, Wallace encountered an image of Michael Jordan and playfully feigned ignorance. He jested, “Is that uhh, who is that?… I don’t know who that is. Buggs bunny, Bill Murray, I don’t know the other guy.”

Wallace further added to the comedy, querying, “Does that look like basketball?” Upon learning that there were individuals unaware of who Jordan was, he expressed disbelief, exclaiming, “You’re f*cking kidding me.” Immediately afterward, it was revealed to him that it was Christopher Bell who was not able to figure it out.

Fans humorously teased Bell for not recognizing Space Jam, a popular movie starring Michael Jordan. His unfamiliarity with this cultural phenomenon made him the target of lighthearted banter, underscoring the film’s widespread recognition.

One viewer’s opinion of Christopher Bell appeared to wane, as they shared, “All this video did was make me respect Christopher Bell even less…” Reflecting on the scenario, a different fan noted, “Awesome Stuff, but dang CBell has lived under a large Rock.” Referring to Bell, another fan candidly stated, “My man is clueless.”

The fans’ responses highlight the humor found in the gaffes of these popular NASCAR drivers.
