Jim Harbaugh thought phone call from Michael Jordan was a prank

During the course of Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh’s career, he has met some amazing personalities, including one of his favorites in Judge Judy, whom he recently played gin rummy with.

However, someone that completely blew Harbaugh away was NBA legend Michael Jordan, who called him this summer. The conversation went as follows according to Harbaugh (via ESPN):

“Harbaugh: Who is this?

Jordan: Michael Jordan.

Harbaugh: Come onnnn, who is this?

Jordan: This is Michael Jordan.

Harbaugh: The real Michael Jordan?”

Jordan reportedly reached out to Harbaugh because Michigan agreed to an apparel contract with Nike in July.
