What happened when a billionaire challenged MJ

Michael Jordan has always been a sought-after personality in the USA. During his time in the NBA, he used to conduct camps where regular non-basketball folks could challenge the legend.

It was reported that once a bunch of men paid around $15,000 just to try their luck on the basketball court against MJ. While Jordan was able to bully almost every one of his opponents until he came face to face with a billionaire CEO who showed MJ something special.

John Rogers was the CEO of Ariel Investments with a net worth of over $10 billion. Turns out Rogers knows how to play ball. He drove down to his right-hand side and scored the layup against the six-time champion. This was a bit unexpected and Jordan was taken aback by surprise. John was able to score the layup for the second consecutive time too this time from the left-hand side. Goes without saying the CEO definitely hurt Jordan’s ego.

Jordan has organized various camps throughout the course of his career and there were reports that Jordan talked trash in his own camp to one of the kids.
