Nothing but respect between the two legends
Although fans seem to try and compare the two, there is only a lot of love and respect between them.

A video of MJ and Brady playing basketball went viral on its release seven years ago. As expected, Jordan did not fail to talk trash, bringing back some old times and memories.?
