Michael Jordan is one of the most competitive people in the world. Fans have heard and seen a lot of stories and experiences from other people about just how competitive Michael Jordan is. But that competitive drive was not limited to the basketball court, as one famous actor revealed a few years ago.

Will Smith appeared on Jimmy Kimmel live a few years ago. Kimmel showed him an old picture of him and Michael Jordan from his concert. Smith revealed that Jordan was wildly competitive at almost everything they did and that Jordan and Tiger Woods were two of the most competitive athletes he ever met, but he did reveal the one aspect Jordan wouldn’t compete for.

“We’re friendly, we’ve hung out a few times… It’s a competition. Mike and Tiger are the two most competitive people that I’ve ever met.”

“I love being around people with that kind of competitive energy. But Michael would compete with anything thought. If we’re drinking water, Mike would be like ‘I’ll race you!’… You can’t beat Mike at anything. If Mike can’t beat you, he’s not going to play… I considered myself competitive till I spent time with them. It’s another level, like another command of their minds. You see why they win because of that kind of mindset.”

“He’s not good at that… somehow you always get your hands to the check before him.”

Smith clearly had a great interaction and relationship with Jordan. Both Will Smith and Michael Jordan are considered two of the biggest icons of the 1990s. Smith was a popular musician and actor across the world. As for Michael Jordan, his impact and aura during the 90s can never be understated.

Will Smith had a lot of fun with Jordan. But Smith wasn’t the only icon from the 90s that got to interact with Jordan. An old picture of ‘Friends’ star Courtney Cox recently went viral, and she spoke about how kind and captivating he was to her during their interaction.
