Michael Jordan, the consensus GOAT in NBA, received a call asking for coaching advice ahead of one of the most fiercely-contested sporting rivalries.
The 62-year-old made his name playing for the Chicago Bulls over two periods from 1984 to 1998, winning the NBA championship six times alongside iconic teammates Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman. As well as being a basketball icon, for his exploits on the court as well as off, through his legendary Air Jordan brand, the sporting legend now owns an NBA franchise with the Charlotte Hornets, and is a regular on NASCAR tracks because of his stake in 23XI Racing.
Jordan is also an extraordinarily-gifted golfer, understands the game, and received a call from Team USA's captain Keegan Bradley requesting help ahead of the marquee Ryder Cup event which takes place on the 26th of September to the 28th.
