Michael Jordan might have long hung up his boots but His Airness is hardly out of action. The NBA legend owned a majority stake in the Charlotte Hornets and remains committed to the game that made him an all-time great. Although his time as a franchise owner didn’t impress many, the former Bulls star remains a class apart. Meeting him privately is still a privilege, and in one such moment, the maestro was lately seen partying with someone who also knows how to get buckets.
The ‘happy moment’ surfaced days after Michael Jordan was seen vacating with his wife Yvette Prieto on the Italian island of Sardinia. MJ’s offseason travels and parties are always star-studded affairs. He’s currently chilling out with a young gun known to shoot like Jordan.

Devin Booker posted a story in which he has Jordan’s hand on his left shoulder. In the photo, Booker’s backside is visible while the former Bulls Guard is smiling. The two appear in a venue where there are numerous people partying.
The brilliant scorer was hanging out with Jordan in St. Tropez’s restaurant, Bagatelle. In a photograph clicked by Cincoro Tequila’s personnel, Michael Jordan is giving a beautiful golden bottle of Cincoro Tequila to the Suns’ Guard. A giggling MJ appears happy being alongside the beaming young Guard. As one of the five co-owners of Cincoro Tequila, Jordan’s endorsement rings loud and the bottle compliments the scenery wonderfully.
Like Jordan, Booker can flat-out ball and has a well-rounded offensive game. Thanks to his offensive toolkit, it landed him a five-year $150 million deal in 2018. He keeps adding additional elements like the ten-time scoring champion but is still hunting for a championship.
The lack of a title doesn’t stem from personal failures. Last Playoffs, the Suns’ ace was on fire.
When Booker broke a 31-year-old record
Despite joining forces with Kevin Durant, the Shooting Guard couldn’t get past the eventual Nuggets in the West Semis. However, he was torching every defensive scheme. Through the first eight games of the 2023 Playoffs, he almost averaged 37. He became the second player to average over 35 after Jordan in 1992.

This star-struck list includes Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain, and Elgin Baylor. This alone cements the incredible offensive performer on par with the best players of this era. Booker’s game helped the Suns reach the Finals in 2021 and clinch the best record in the 2021-22 season.
