Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan has maintained a low profile ever since his retirement. However, given his legendary status, His Airness always ends up attracting fans whenever he makes an appearance in public. During one such instance, a video of MJ rudely refusing to click pictures with a bunch of kids went viral several months ago. However, a recent incident during his vacation with his wife Yvette Prieto showed a different side of Jordan.
Notably, Billionaire MJ rarely makes a public appearance, and he is away from social networking sites. So the fans mostly witness him during NBA games or at any special events. However, the NBA stalwart surprised his fans during his recent overseas vacation when he obliged to get a picture taken with his fans.

Several videos and images of Michael Jordan have gone viral for various reasons, and some of them have become famous meme content. Similarly, the video of ‘rude’ MJ refusing to take pictures with kids went viral. The kids, who were there to see LaMelo Ball, were surprised to see MJ instead. However, they were dealt a blow after His Airness refused to take a picture with them. Seems like things have changed for good now.
Jordan, who is currently enjoying his vacation in Malaga, Spain, posed graciously with two fans at a restaurant. The restaurant shared the picture on its Instagram page and wrote, “We had a very special visitor at our house today. Thank you so much, Jordan!” Jordan sported the latest Travis Scott x Air Jordan sneakers with a cigar in his hand as he posed with the fans. Moreover, several sources say that MJ had been agreeing to all photo requests aimed at him during the vacation.

This isn’t the first time the 6x NBA champion had visited Malaga. He spent his time enjoying the beaches, luxury hotels, and food. Seeing MJ happily taking a photo with his fans was indeed surprising. Notably, 13x NBA All-Star doesn’t have a great track record when it comes to dealing with fans.

In 2022, the F1 visited Miami for the first time and after the conclusion of the Miami Grand Prix, several celebrities attended the event, including Jordan. Among the public personalities who attended the grand affair was singer Post Malone, who went viral after he posted a picture with the Bulls legend. However, things didn’t go the same way for the rapper Chamillionaire who had approached His Airness for a picture earlier in a different setting.
When the rapper crossed paths with MJ, he tried his luck for a photo, but Jordan’s reply left him stranded. Interestingly, he bid $7000 for one of his jerseys. Jordan responded, “You know what, I tell you what, you pay $15,000 right now for a jersey from me and I’ll take a picture with you.” While the tonality of MJ’s words was uncertain, it definitely stung the rapper.
