Michael Jordan is one of a kind. His era with the Bulls is widely considered by many as the greatest dynasty in NBA history. At the peak of his career, every fan in the world was eager to get just a peek at Jordan. Chicago Bulls sold tickets like hotcakes. It wasn’t easy to get your hands on one even when you were a player. While Scottie Pippen and Horace Grant would receive just 4 extra tickets for a legendary playoff series in Chicago. But MJ received tenfold more than his teammates.
Michael Jordan obviously had more pull than Scottie or Grant. After all, Jordan was a global phenomenon. He was the one people from around the world were coming to watch. Of course, he would get preferential treatment. But Jordan knew he had to keep it a secret.
