Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson. The two MJs who revolutionized their fields. Jordan brought the world to basketball and Jackson brought break dancing to the world. Jordan made his legacy in the 90s when he won 6 NBA championships in a decade. Although Jordan had arrived on the global stage way before that and everybody knew how special and rare he was.
Michael Jackson was a pop star. There were not many who were in that light at the time. Michael Jackson was truly someone who started a culture and craze for break dancing, pop music, and pop stars. His first song that entered the US billboard top 100 was in 1971 when it charted at 4 on the list.
It was in 1992 that we saw both MJs together in a music video for the song, ‘Jam’. Quite possibly the most iconic and legendary moment in the entertainment industry as two GOATs of different worlds united for a music video.
