The former wide receiver of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the current owner of NAL’s Albany Empire, Antonio Brown, is never short of controversies. Although it has been almost 19 months since his dismissal from the NFL, he never lacks the ability to make headlines almost every day. However, on this occasion, he shamelessly entangled NBA icon Michael Jordan‘s name in his nefarious escapades.
The 6x NBA champion has found himself under intense scrutiny in recent times, particularly concerning his basketball team, the Hornets. However, Antonio Brown wasted no time before invoking Jordan’s name without any legitimate connection to the sport. Yet, it begs the question.
Could there be a Michael Jordan and Antonio Brown collab?

Despite facing mounting scrutiny for not paying his players and coaches, Brown brazenly flaunts his wealth on the internet. Therefore, it raises an intriguing question, whether his public display of wealth is a strategic move to garner attention and potentially establish a business investment opportunity with the NBA legend. Although it remains a strong possibility, Brown’s history with his ventures certainly raises some eyebrows.
The Super Bowl Champ isn’t a typical people person
Before delving into a possibility of a collaboration, it’s crucial to acknowledge the numerous instances where Brown has proved to be an incompetent businessman. Furthermore, he never seems to keep his word. After buying a majority stake in the Albany Empire, he promised his fans to make a comeback as a player. And to anyone’s surprise, he did not fulfill the promise and stood in the owner’s lounge, while the audience filled the arena to watch him play. There were also several reports that indicated Brown failed to pay the players and coaches of his team, which even led to his team’s dismissal from the league.
