There was a time when Michael Jordan "lost $500 million" in just three seconds at the NBA draft lottery.
Those were hardly the most memorable three seconds of Jordan's incredible existence
Michael Jordan has suffered a loss that is equivalent to $500 million in the course of three seconds during the NBA Draft that took place the previous year.
Jordan's team, the Charlotte Hornets, participated in the draft lottery and was awarded the second choice in the process.
There are thirty different clubs from all around North America who are participating in the draft.
The players that are selected are either new players who have never played in the NBA or those who have previously played professionally in other leagues around the world.
However, in order to be able to play, they must have graduated from high school at least one year earlier and be at least 19 years old.
He is a physically intimidating figure of a man standing at an astonishing 7 feet 4 inches and is now the joint-tallest active NBA player
Victor Wembanyama, who hails from France, was the major name that was up for selection in the draft the previous year.
His leadership helped the country achieve a silver medal in the men's basketball competition held in Paris 2024,
notwithstanding the fact that they were ultimately defeated by the United States of America, who went on to win the gold medal.
In the previous year, he was selected by the San Antonio Spurs, and Jordan's Hornets were unable to get him because they were lacking a single pick.
