The NBA superstar Michael Jordan has no relation to Hollywood actor Michael B. Jordan. Although the two individuals have the same initials, it is the only similarity between them. In order to prevent perplexity with the basketball player, Michael B. Jordan has also claimed that he appended the middle initial “B” to his name. Michael Jordan, on the other hand, is regarded as one of the all-time best basketball players by many.
Michael B. Jordan was born Michael Bakari Jordan on February 9, 1987, in Santa Ana, California. Michael A. Jordan, his father, used to be employed as a furniture salesperson. Bakari, Michael B. Jordan’s middle name, translates to “noble promise” in Swahili. He was named after his father.
So Michael B. Jordan is not related to The “Michael Jordan”. However He was named after his dad Michael A. Jordan and will be no Michael C. Jordan in the future. #MichaelBJordan #73QuestionsWithMichaelBJordan

Michael B. Jordan’s take on the GOAT debate
Jonathan Majors and Michael B. Jordan are two outstanding actors who are currently among the most appreciated young stars in the entertainment industry. They recently talked on one of their interviews where they discussed which things or people are GOATS, where their opinion about their preferred GOAT athletes arose.
Despite the fact that this refers to all of the most popular sports and not only basketball, both referenced a disagreement between two NBA icons regarding the identity of the individual.
LeBron James was chosen by Michael B. Jordan due to his adaptability and capacity for long-term consistency and dominance. He also thinks LeBron is a competent athlete who may succeed in other sports besides basketball.
“I am going to say, LeBron James; there, I said it. Been great for the longest and I am not comparing it to nobody. He could have played multiple sports, he could have gone pro and be a champion in multiple sports. I am saying LeBron James, so fight me,” said the Black Panther star. (h/t via We Got This Covered)
In contrast, Majors chose Michael Jordan as the GOAT sportsperson, claiming that no one could compete with his achievements.
