Michael Jordan and Jayson Tatum had a wholesome exchange in Paris, spreading smiles and rumors at the same time.
While one segment believed that it was MJ recruiting Tatum for the Bulls, some just made it clear that the duo’s heartwarming moment mattered more. Jordan could be seen hugging the Celtics’ star and the two had wide smiles on their faces.

A Jordan athlete since 2019, Tatum is in line for his own signature shoe with the brand. Launching the sneakers to the world in Paris, he made quite the noise with his new signature shoe called the ‘Jordan Tatum 1’.
Now, all eyes will be on Tatum to see how he fares in the upcoming season after Boston made the Conference Finals this season. And only time will tell if he indeed becomes a Chicago Bull at some point. For now, that’s wishful thinking.
Jayson Tatum Picks Michael Jordan Over Kobe Bryant
As much as the world knows that Jayson Tatum loved Kobe Bryant, he surprisingly picked Michael Jordan when asked to choose between the two, and he had his reasons.
“I got a funny story. We were in Paris and I met MJ earlier this morning,” admitted Tatum in the telling of a story.
“It’s an introduction (to the Jordan brand) and I did a bunch of media. And then that night we had dinner. So it was like, Melo was there, Blake was there, Russ, Spike Lee, everybody was there. I remember, I walk in and I’m still nervous. MJ’s sitting down, his wife next to him, and Spike next to her. So I walk in and I’m like, I’m gonna say what’s up to him before I sit down. So I’m like, I talked to him earlier, like we had a whole conversation like I kind of knew him. But then I walk over to him and like my hand starts sweating. And I was like, ‘What’s up Mike?’ And when I went to go shake his hand, I knocked over his wine glass on the table and it broke. And I was like, ‘Oh let me get a napkin, let me help you out’. He was like, ‘Young fella, it’s cool, it’s good, you all right’. I turned throughout like, ‘Yo, I’m tripping.’”
It’s nice to understand why, as MJ proved to be the bigger person even to a young Tatum who was still finding his feet. And perhaps that’s where the bond stems from.
