Chicago Bulls great Michael Jordan endorses dozens of products.
He remains the face of Nike. He did ads for Coca-Cola during his playing days. And let’s not forget those cheesy BallPark Franks commercials.
Apparently, Jordan wasn’t only selling Egg McMuffins. He was eating them. Lot of them.
During an appearance on the All The Smoke podcast, Bulls teammate Charles Oakley gave an inside look at Jordan’s eating habits.
“We ate a lot of McDonald’s back then,” Oakley said. “MJ ate McDonald’s every morning for breakfast. Every morning. And before games, he’d eat a steak.”
It’s hard to believe a world-class athlete like Jordan ate fast-food and steaks before games but you have to consider the source. Oakley and Jordan were best friends during their time together in Chicago. They played three seasons for the Bulls before Oakley was traded to the New York Knicks.
They were so close Oakley often served as Jordan’s protector on the court. It’s why Oakley wished he was around when the Bulls faced the “Bad Boys” Detroit Pistons in the late `80s.
“He didn’t take a beating when I was there,” Oakley said. “Detroit waited `til I left. They some punks. I don’t care about them. Put `em in a bag, I’ll fight all of them.”
