Jordan and Grant won three championships together with the Chicago Bulls in 1991, 1992 and 1993. Being teammates and friends off the court, their children often spent time together.

Speaking to Grant Jr. on Thursday, Jordan recalled a hilarious incident involving Horace Grant.

"You were sick [at school], and then you texted me you were going home. I was like, "I'm not gonna stay here," cause our moms were out of town together,” Jordan said. Your dad had to come pick us up, and he knew we were faking. You remember what happened afterwards?"

"He knew that we were faking as soon as we got home." Grant Jr. said. “Basically, he made us clean every car in his garage, I wanna say it was like 30-36 cars."
"It was 37, I remember," Jordan said.

After meeting at a restaurant in Chicago in 1995, it didn't take long for Michael Jordan and Juanita Vanoy to get married. The pair tied the knot in Las Vegas in 1989 and went on to spend 17 years together.

After six NBA championships and three children named Jeffrey, Marcus and Jasmine, Vanoy and Jordan decided to call it quits. The couple first filed for divorce in 2002 but reconciled before ultimately splitting in 2006. It was an amicable split that ended with Juanita Vanoy receiving a $168 million payout. One of the biggest celebrity divorce settlements ever.
