Imagine going to your local gym to shoot some hoops and having Michael Jordan show up.
During Jordan’s first retirement, that happened on a regular basis at a gym in downtown Chicago. Jordan, before he went off to play baseball, would join pickup games at the Athletic Club at Illinois Center multiple times per week.
In the pre-smartphone era, video of these games is hard to come by. A Bulls fan and podcaster named Adam Howe uploaded a Bulls pregame show segment to Twitter on Monday night, showing Jordan towering over a few gym rats as a crowd gathered.
