Michael Jordan carries an aura of greatness around him and this can be intimidating. Imagine being around him for a meal, especially if he is someone you have looked up to all through your formative years. You would probably shiver with your heart rate shooting through the roof. Well, that is what happened to this NBA All-Star. However, his story seems to have the element of errors and humiliation in it.

Jayson Tatum, who was drafted in 2017 by the Boston Celtics, is a three-time NBA All-Star and is on the list of becoming the Most Valuable Player in the years to come. In 2019, Tatum signed with the Jordan Brand and went to Paris for the official announcement of this partnership. This meant that Tatum would be meeting Michael Jordan for the very first time.

I see him again and it is like the first time I am seeing him and I am shaking,? Tatum continued.
