Michael Jordan Shows Older Black Men How to Start Again.

Michael Jordan, long defined by his peak basketball image, is portrayed as having chosen a new chapter well after his last NBA game more than 23 years ago. The piece argues that instead of staying frozen as a legend, he has invested in ventures that require risk and commitment, highlighting 23XI Racing—co-owned with Denny Hamlin. It notes the team’s extended legal conflict with NASCAR, including Jordan’s courtroom testimony in Charlotte during a trial, followed by a settlement in late 2025 that kept chartering in place while revising terms. The article also points to Jordan’s ownership of the 80-foot Viking sportfishing vessel Catch 23 and participation in blue marlin tournaments, including a 442.3-pound catch at Morehead City.
