Michael Jordan rocks stylish all-black look while enjoying mega yacht day with his son

Even decades after retiring, Michael Jordan's fame has barely taken a hit among basketball fans across the world. However, amid his popularity, Jordan has kept his private life away from the spotlight, rarely posting on social media.

On Friday, fans caught a rare glimpse of Jordan's life away from basketball thanks to his son Marcus, who posted a series of pictures of the Bulls legend on a private mega yacht.

The first picture showed the six-time NBA champion busy on a phone call in a red room, holding a cigar in his left hand. MJ wore a full-sleeve black T-shirt, matching shorts and a pair of Jordans.

Stephen A. Smith expects Michael Jordan to be "brutally honest" in special role with NBC

Michael Jordan is making a comeback to the NBA as a special contributor for NBC when it restarts its coverage of the league after two decades. Jordan won't be contributing as a live commentator; his analysis will be pre-recorded.

How will the Bulls legend approach a game that has moved on since his time? ESPN's Stephen A. Smith expects MJ to be brutally honest.

"Let me tell you something about Michael Jordan: He’s going to be brutally honest...I can assure you that," Smith said on Patrick Bet-David's PBD Podcast. "He's not going to be somebody who's going to be passive."

"The Michael Jordan I know, when talking basketball. ...He ain’t trying to hurt nobody’s feelings. He ain't trying to be insulting—but he’s going to tell you what's going on. I don’t think he's going to be passive at all."

Speculation was rife that Jordan was set to be paid $40 million by NBC for his contributions. However, Front Office Report later reported that the number was inaccurate.
