He is a great guy. Besides being an incredible football player, he has done so much in his career, having a family, maintaining so many things off the court. He is a really nice person to chat to. We’re not best friends or anything, but it’s nice to be able to say hello and congratulate each other on achievements we’ve had in our careers and so on.”</div> <script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!-- burhaa --> <br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-7034974321395417" data-ad-slot="9926759488" style="display: inline-block; height: 90px; width: 728px;"></ins><script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; padding-bottom: 15px !important; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"> She also spoke about meeting Michael Jordan.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; padding-bottom: 15px !important; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"> “Yeah, I randomly met Michael Jordan at a private airport. I don’t even know why. I didn’t grow up watching so much basketball. I was like, Wow, that’s cool. I don’t really know the reason, but I think of all his success on and off the court, it’s great to meet someone like that. He recognized me, which is pretty cool I thought back in the day,” Maria said.</div> </div>
