Photos have gone viral of Leonardo DiCaprio meeting Michael Jordan after Game 6 of the NBA Finals Since the concluding episode of the Last Dance released on Sunday, and we now know how it all came to be.
Broadcaster Ahmad Rahsad, who made multiple appearances in the documentary, explained how the two legends in their respective industries ended up meeting face-to-face. According to Rashad, he saw security kicking two "little kids" out of the back. When Rashad realized it was Leo, he told the security guard that the actor was with him, took him and his friend to the training room, and the rest was history.
Here's his full explanation:
The photos from the encounter are just awesome:
Another iconic story was also explained earlier today, this one coming from the 1997 playoffs. According to Jordan, his personal assistant, and trainer, Jordan did not actually have the flu in the 1997 NBA Finals, but rather came down with food poisoning after five people mysteriously showed up to drop it off. Despite the illness, the owner of the pizza shop refuted any accusations that the pizza was interfered with and actually insisted he's a huge MJ fan.
MJ really did have some wild moments during his career. What a legend!
