Michael Jordan became a worldwide phenomenon while playing for the Chicago Bulls. Not only does the shooting guard dominate the rest of the basketball court, but his fame extends far beyond the NBA. Millions of people from around the world became Bulls fans because of Michael Jordan. He is one of the biggest names in sports today.
Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior recently went to Los Angeles to visit famous tattoo artist Ganga. He got a huge backside depicting a bunch of different famous athletes, including Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Pele, and Muhammad Ali.
However, fans were quick to notice an error in Jordan’s tattoos – he is left-handed.
In the tattoo, Jordan is shooting free throws, but he’s shooting them with his left hand, even though he’s right-handed.
Some were quick to point out that this could be a nod to Jordan shooting with his left hand in one game as a way of performing for the Atlanta Hawks. However, he is better known for shooting free throws with his eyes closed than shooting with his left hand.
Regardless, the images of Jordan, Kobe, and others combine perfectly to form a stunning collage of sports greats on Vinicius Jr.’s back, and he should be thrilled with the results.
Vinicius Jr. is from Brazil, but he clearly knows Jordan and the other athletes on the tattoo, which is a testament to the Bulls star’s popularity around the world.
His fame has transcended that of a player playing in the NBA, and his global brand will live on forever.
