NBA fans might say there’s only one Michael Jordan, but they’d be wrong.

As anyone who follows the Green Bay Packers’ day-to-day dealings knows by now, there’s another Michael Jordan joining the team’s practice squad this week.

Like the 60-year-old NBA legend, the 25-year-old Jordan is listed as a 6-foot-6 guard, but that’s where the similarities end. The former Ohio State forward weighs 315 pounds, about 50 percent heavier than Jordan Sr. weighed at the same age.

Of course, this name is not uncommon. According to NameCensus.com, “Jordan” ranks as the 116th most popular surname in the United States, and “Michael” ranks as the fourth most popular surname for men. Not surprisingly, a LexisNexis search for the name “Michael Jordan” yielded more than 3,000 results in the United States alone.

There are other famous Michael Jordans, including actor Michael B. Jordan. In the early 2000s, ESPN ran a popular ad that centered on a fictional middle-aged man, giving his name and the struggles he faced every day.

‘Are you kidding me? ‘ a frustrated limousine driver holding a “Michael Jordan” sign tells the man in the popular ad.

With his name to his name, NFL’s Jordan managed to score free pizza from Papa John’s while attending Ohio State University.

“I put it online as ‘Michael Jordan,'” the former Buckeye told ESPN in 2021.

“All of a sudden it said it would be here in 20 minutes,” he continued. “So I called the place and said I placed an order for Michael Jordan. He started cursing at me. He said, ‘It’s Super Bowl Sunday. You can’t play around with fake names like that. “

“Then I went in and showed him my ID and I got free pizza for a week.”

Young Michael Jordan arrived on the edge this week for the Packers and could make the 53-man roster if Green Bay’s offensive line continues to be plagued by injuries. Packers’ longtime left tackle David Bakhtiari has been battling knee issues since 2018 and missed the team’s Week 1 win over the rival Chicago Bears.

NFL Jordan (aka “Mike”) was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the fourth round of the 2019 draft.

He was waived in 2021 and later drafted by the Carolina Panthers, bringing two Michael Jordans to the city of Charlotte, where the Basketball Hall of Famer owned the NBA Hornets.

Jordan, an NFL prospect, was cut by the Panthers in August and has been looking for work ever since.

As for the origin of his famous nickname, the Michigan native told ESPN that he was actually named after his father, which is for the best considering the football player was terrible at basketball.

“The truth is, I’m terrible at basketball,” he said in 2021. “You can ask the guys in the locker room. They already know. I’ve been terrible since I was a kid. “When I dribble, I have to Watch the ball. “
