NBA’s legendary star Michael Jordan was reportedly banned from betting on the Daytona 500. The 61-year-old is the owner of the 23XI Racing taking part in the NASCAR Cup Series which features the likes of Bubba Wallace and Tyler Reddick.
The team was established back in 2020 by Jordan along with three-time Dayton winner Denny Hamlin. As per the latest report, the legendary basketball star will not be able to bet on a Daytona 500 event.
The report suggested it is because NASCAR does not allow owners, drivers and crew members to bet on the same sport where they are an active part.
Jordan remains one of the greatest players in the history of the NBA. He registered a number of milestones in his illustrious career. He won the NBA championship six times. All of those championships came while playing for the Chicago Bulls.
In all of those championship-winning seasons, Jordan was named the Finals Most Valuable Player (MVP). On five occasions, he was named as the NBA’s MVP For the season. He won two Olympic gold medals for his country in 1984 and 1992.
Jordan played more than 1000 games in his career and finished with a staggering average of 30.1 points per game to go with 6.2 rebounds and 5.3 assists. In total, he ended up registering more than 32,000 points.
