    Apart from showing off his extraordinary skills on the court, Michael Jordan also enjoyed boasting about his riches, especially when someone would try to brag in front of him. Former Washington Wizards forward Jared Jeffries shared an epic story proving that.

    According to Jeffries, it was the offseason, and he and All-Star forward Antoine Walker spent about a week with Jordan in Chicago to play some pickup games. Early in their week-long session, Toine arrived at the facility with a brand-new Ferrari.

    Seeing Walker in a luxury car was cool for Jeffries and the other guys. For MJ, however, it was a challenge.

    "We were in Chicago at [trainer] Tim Grover's gym. Antoine Walker pulls up in some Ferrari, and he was like he just got it. MJ was like, 'You know what? I'm gonna bring a different color Ferrari every day this week with a matching Jumpman jumpsuit.' Bro, he pulled up in a Ferrari with a matching Jumpman jumpsuit for the whole five days we were playing. That's the kind of swag he had," Jeffries recalled .

    MJ flexing his Ferrari

    This isn't the only story in which Jordan beat a fellow NBA star with his Ferrari. Former Charlotte Hornets wingman Kendall Gill still vividly remembers how MJ unknowingly one-upped him in the parking lot.

    Kendall was vibing with his girlfriend in his Ferrari on the way to the Chicago Bulls stadium when "His Airness" suddenly arrived with a slicker Ferrari. Gill's girlfriend was in awe of MJ's ride , which he didn't like at all.

    "So I have this 456 GT Ferrari, and I'm with my girlfriend at the time, and she liked my car. I pull up, and they park it for me at the U.C., and we walk in. Michael and Scottie used to park inside the U.C. So Michael's Ferrari is there, but it's a 550 Maranello. Brand new. My girlfriend goes, 'Hey, I like that one. Can you get that one?' I'm like, 'That motherf****r,'" Gill recalled .

    Jordan's swag was different

    From the moment he entered the NBA in 1984, Mike exhibited a magnetic presence that captivated fans and players alike. While his athletic prowess was nothing short of legendary, MJ's unique swag and style also helped elevate his identity to incredible heights.

    Moreover, Jordan's extreme competitiveness on and off the court made his personality even more distinct. Walker and Gill experienced all of MJ's abovementioned traits even if they didn't ask for them.
