Throwback to when Kenny Rogers scored against Michael Jordan
The contribution Kenny made to the sports world was enormous. One of country music’s biggest stars, he passed away at 81. Notably, he is also known for his work in the world of football, basketball, and tennis.
Kenny used to have a three-day fundraising celebration at his Georgia home. This event included live music, golf, fishing, and a star-studded 3-on-3 celebrity basketball match. The game was played against NBA legends and celebrities, such as Jordan, Isiah Thomas, Larry Bird, and Dominique Wilkins.

One of these games showed Kenny that he could take down arguably the greatest player in history.
This picture has NBA fans going bonkers on Twitter. The tweet reads, “After his retirement, Michael Jordan admitted there was only one man he couldn’t stop on a basketball court: Kenny Rogers.”
