The former Chicago Bulls star is – in the eyes of many – the greatest basketball player ever.

With a net worth estimated to be around $3.5 billion, Jordan has a car collection to match.

Recently, the NBA legend was blown away by one of the rarest hypercars in the world.

Michael Jordan: The Greatest of All Time?

In the eyes of millions, Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player in the history of the game.

Drafted with the third overall pick of the 1984 NBA draft, Jordan was picked up by the Chicago Bulls.

In his debut season in 1985, Jordan wowed the masses, winning Rookie of The Year (ROTY) that season.

By the end of his career, Jordan would go on to become a 14x NBA All-Star for the Bulls.

Jordan would also go on to win six NBA Championships, with two three-peats.

The No. 23 would also win the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player (MVP) award in every single one of those Finals wins.

The 1995-96 Chicago Bulls team starred Jordan and a supporting cast of Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman.

This particular team is widely considered to be the greatest team that the NBA has ever seen.

Jordan blown away by $3 million hypercar

As mentioned above, Jordan is an avid car fanatic.

Covering the NBA legend’s car collection would simply take far too long, but it is as epic as it sounds.

In fact, Jordan also owns 23XI Racing – his own NASCAR team.

Recently, we covered New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge, and his very impressive car collection.

It appears that Mr Judge and Mr Jordan have a passion for cars in common.

They also have a particular car brand in common – Hennessey.

In particular, they both happen to be two exclusive owners of the Hennessey Venom F5.

The out-of-this-world hypercar produces an insane 1,817 horsepower.

The 6.6 liter, twin-turbocharged V8 has reached a known top speed of 270mph.

In 2023, Jordan bought himself an F5 Roadster version, which cost him a cool $3 million.

And an insider revealed just how blown away Jordan was by the hypercar.

Speaking to the New York Post, the member of Jordan’s team said:

“He was blown away. Nothing is as intense and fully engaging as this car.”

“Some hypercars are built for luxury, but the Hennessey is out and out power and performance.”

We’re not sure you can get a better endorsement than MJ himself.
