Michael Jordan enjoys cigar as he relaxes on board yacht after pocketing $400K in prestigious competition

Michael Jordan is a man of many talents. The NBA legend showed up on Saturday in Ocean City, Maryland, to participate in the annual White Marlin Open, a 51-year-old deep-sea fishing tournament held annually.

Jordan joined the competition with his Catch 23 custom fishing yacht and hauled in a 70-inch white Marlin, which weighed 71 pounds. It placed Catch 23 in second place, and Jordan and Co. walked away with $400,000 in prize money.

Following the win, Michael's son, Marcus Jordan, who accompanied his father at the event, shared a video of the NBA legend enjoying a cigar. Marcus posted the clip on his Instagram story on Monday.

Michael wore a blue T-shirt, printed white shorts and white shoes. He completed the look with a white hat and black sunglasses as he sat on the edge of the deck while looking at the ocean.

In another story, Jordan stood on the deck with a fishing rod in his hands.

Michael Jordan once revealed his reason for not watching the NBA anymore

Michael Jordan is arguably the biggest name in NBA history. The Hall of Famer has won it all, and his legacy is unmatched. However, he admitted that he stopped watching NBA games after retiring.

In an interview with Michael Wilbon in 2010, the Bulls legend revealed why.

"I try not to watch as much because I'm so critical of how the game's being played," Jordan said (Timestamp: 2:12). "How the kids are playing the game, how I would play it totally different. That's just my competitive nature about watching the game that I truly love.

"I've taken a great pride in trying to enhance what I play the game. Not that the kids are not enhancing the game, I think they're overlooking a lot of the things that in old age or in maturity, I can see a lot more."

It is not just Jordan who does not appreciate the dynamic shift in playing style in the past couple of decades. Shaquille O'Neal, one of the most dominant centers of his era, expressed similar thoughts.

The game has gone from being physical and defense-minded to one where long-range shooting is the primary offensive weapon.
