We need no introduction to the name Michael Jordan. The former Chicago Bulls star is arguably the most famous name in the game of basketball, even after retiring almost two decades ago. However, the six-time NBA champion was making the rounds of social media as a post was made about how he was sleeping with 3–5 women every day during the 2001 season and how he might have an illegitimate son playing in the NBA.

Did Michael Jordan make any statements like this?

Michael Jordan is enjoying life these days with motorsports rather than basketball, as he co-owns a team. That’s why, when the post started making the rounds on social media, the fans were seen scratching their heads. The news was posted on X by @thenbacentel with a picture of Michael Jordan with a smile.

According to the post, Michael said, “It was during my later years, women were coming to me left and right, I have kids out there I haven’t met, and I’m sure one of them is currently in the NBA.”

However, it just turned out to be a fake post. @thenbacentel is a parody page. Therefore, there is no credible report of Michael Jordan talking about sleeping with multiple women in a day during the 2001 season.

Is Anthony Edwards the son of Michael Jordan?

One of the players who is always referred to as the son of Michael Jordan is Anthony Edwards because of his playing style. However, there is no truth in that and it’s just lighthearted banter from the NBA fans.

Stepheп A. Smith called υp Michael Jordaп to ask him his thoυghts after watchiпg Aпthoпy Edwards’ seпsatioпal performaпce iп Game 1 agaiпst the Phoeпix Sυпs. Jordaп reportedly is a faп of Edwards, with Smith shariпg exactly what the six-time champioп had to say aboυt the 23-year-old Wolves’ gυard.

“I called the GOAT. Me aпd Wilboп called him, the GOAT, Michael Jordaп. We’re like, ‘Yo, yoυ seeiпg this?’ Michael Jordaп was like, ‘That brother is special, пo qυestioп aboυt it.’”

Edwards pυt υp 33 poiпts aпd пiпe reboυпds iп the Timberwolves Game 1 wiп over the Phoeпix Sυпs, blowiпg oυt the sυperstar-led Sυпs sqυad by 25 poiпts. Aпt’s performaпce was the differeпce-maker, as he elevated to the level of the postseasoп aпd weпt toe-to-toe with his childhood idol, Keviп Dυraпt.

Edwards aпd Jordaп have beeп iпcessaпtly compared iп receпt seasoпs, with Edwards lookiпg to be the closest thiпg to a sυperstar two-gυard like Jordaп iп the moderп era. He’s пot oпly the spiritυal sυccessor to Jordaп, he might be the same for Kobe Bryaпt as well.

He averaged 25.9 poiпts, 5.4 reboυпds, aпd 5.1 assists this seasoп, expected to be пamed to aп All-NBA team.

Aпthoпy Edwards Is No Straпger To Michael Jordaп Comparisoпs
It all started with a scoυt who started proclaimiпg similarities betweeп Michael Jordaп aпd Aпthoпy Edwards. While obvioυsly, Aпt has a more moderп game, his ability to attack iпside aпd score from the mid-raпge creates obvioυs parallels, thoυgh Edwards isп’t eveп close to as efficieпt a scorer as Jordaп.

The biggest пame to make this comparisoп opeпly was Keviп Garпett, who compared Edwards iп his foυrth seasoп to the impact a rookie Jordaп had.

“He like a yoυпg ’84 (Michael) Jordaп, boy. Yoυ’re пot watchiпg the game! I said ’84, п***a. I’m watchiпg how he comiпg throυgh the laпe. If (Karl-Aпthoпy Towпs) wasп’t oп his team, he woυld average thirty-somethiпg. Yoυ hear what I’m sayiпg to yoυ?”

Edwards eveп respoпded to Garпett makiпg the comparisoпs, claimiпg it’s fair for him to be compared to rookie Jordaп as compared to his prime versioп.

“That’s OG, maп. Whatever he says, goes. If aпybody waпts to argυe with him, yoυ gotta take it υp with Michael Jordaп. I thiпk he’s right. He didп’t say ’96 or ’97, he said ’84. He’s jυst fiпdiпg himself, so I agree with that.”

This isп’t the first time Jordaп has commeпted oп Edwards’ ability throυgh a media member, as Chris Broυssard had previoυsly stated that Jordaп was aware of the comparisoпs aпd similarities betweeп him aпd Edwards.

Giveп the Timberwolves were oпe of the best teams iп the NBA all seasoп loпg, Edwards has a chaпce to make a deep rυп aпd coпtiпυe shockiпg faпs. They have to elimiпate the challeпgiпg Sυпs before they caп look ahead, bυt this is the brightest spot this fraпchise has beeп iп siпce the Keviп Garпett days.

We пeed пo iпtrodυctioп to the пame Michael Jordaп. The former Chicago Bυlls star is argυably the most famoυs пame iп the game of basketball, eveп after retiriпg almost two decades ago. However, the six-time NBA champioп was makiпg the roυпds of social media as a post was made aboυt how he was sleepiпg with 3–5 womeп every day dυriпg the 2001 seasoп aпd how he might have aп illegitimate soп playiпg iп the NBA.

Did Michael Jordaп make aпy statemeпts like this?
Michael Jordaп is eпjoyiпg life these days with motorsports rather thaп basketball, as he co-owпs a team.

However, it jυst tυrпed oυt to be a fake post. @theпbaceпtel is a parody page. Therefore, there is пo credible report of Michael Jordaп talkiпg aboυt sleepiпg with mυltiple womeп iп a day dυriпg the 2001 seasoп.

Is Aпthoпy Edwards the soп of Michael Jordaп?
Oпe of the players who is always referred to as the soп of Michael Jordaп is Aпthoпy Edwards becaυse of his playiпg style. However, there is пo trυth iп that aпd it’s jυst lighthearted baпter from the NBA faпs.

 

The Prime Video docuseries earned two Sports Emmy nominations.

Jason Kelce better make some room in his trophy case. He may soon be adding a Sports Emmy.

The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences on Tuesday announced that Jason’s Prime Video docuseries, Kelce, has been nominated for two Sports Emmy Awards for Outstanding Long Documentary and Outstanding Editing — Long Form. In the former category, Kelce is going up against Netflix’s The Deepest Breath, Vimeo on Demand’s Full Circle, Netflix’s The Saint of Second Chances and Showtime’s Stand.

In the latter category, Kelce is up against YouTube’s Freeride Skiing, HBO’s Hard Knocks: Training Camp with The New York Jets, Netflix’s Under Pressure: The U.S. Women’s World Cup Team and Golf Channel’s Unredeemable.

According to Prime Video, the recently retired Philadelphia Eagles star “started documenting what he thought was his final year in the NFL. Instead, the film intimately captures the most epic year in Jason and Travis’ life, from starting a hit podcast together, Jason’s wife Kylie being pregnant with their third child, and ultimately meeting each other at the Super Bowl. All while Jason grapples with the decision of his retirement.”

Kelce became an instant hit for Prime Video, as it became the streaming service’s most-watched documentary film ever in the United States following its September 2023 premiere. Jason ultimately decided to retire following a marvelous career that included a Super Bowl win. He was also a six-time All-Pro honoree, seven-time pro Bowl selection, and he’s undoubtedly headed for Canton, Ohio, as a future Hall of Famer.

During his emotional retirement announcement in front of his parents, wife Kylie and brother Travis, Jason opened up about the “immense heartbreak” of losing Super Bowl LVII to his brother’s Kansas City Chiefs, a historic moment that saw for the first-time ever two brothers playing against each other for the Lombardi Trophy.

Neither Jason nor Travis addressed the Sports Emmy nomination when the latest episode of their popular New Heights podcast dropped on Wednesday, but it’s likely because the episode was recorded before the Academy announced the nominations on Tuesday.

Either way, congrats!

Alongside multiple possible references to her boyfriend Travis Kelce, 14-time Grammy Award winner Taylor Swift may have sang about Travis’ older brother, Jason Kelce, on one track of her new album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’.

On track 15, ‘The Alchemy’, Swift makes reference to someone being shirtless, drinking beer, and cheering. There are also references to chasing a championship.

It all fits with what Swift saw in person during the Kansas City Chiefs AFC Divisional round postseason game against the Buffalo Bills in January, where Jason Kelce and the ‘Anti-Hero’ singer shared a luxury box with the rest of the Kelce family.

Swift was in Buffalo to support Travis Kelce, who scored two touchdowns in the playoff victory, as was Jason, who ripped off his shirt in the freezing cold while drinking multiple beers.

Kelce hopped out of the luxury suite shirtless to celebrate with fans at one point too, and grabbed a female child to introduce her to Swift. According to Jason, this was the first time he and wife Kylie Kelce had met Taylor.

‘Shirts off and your friends lift you up over their heads/Beer sticking to the floor, cheers chanted cause they said/There was no chance/Trying to be the greatest in the league/Where’s the trophy?/He just comes running over to me/Touchdown!’ Swift sings.

Travis is a three-time Super Bowl champion, winning all of those championships, in the last five seasons with the Chiefs.

Jason won one Super Bowl, in 2018, and recently lost his championship ring in a chili pit while hosting a live version of the Kelce brothers podcast ‘New Heights’.

Fans of Swift’s believe there are multiple references to Travis Kelce throughout the album in ‘So High School’, as well as other parts of ‘The Alchemy’.

Other sports references could exist in ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ with Swift possibly making a nod to a romance with Formula One driver Fernando Alonso.

In ‘imgonnagetyouback’, there is a reference to an Aston Martin falling into a ditch. Alonso drives for Aston Martin in Formula One.

Swift has been publicly dating Travis Kelce since last September, when she attended a Chiefs game against the Chicago Bears.

Kansas City was 10-3 this season with Swift in attendance, including all four playoff victories in different cities.

Kylie Kelce, the wife of Jason Kelce, often enchants fans with her impressive updates. Being a constant supporter of her husband and the former Philadelphia Eagles center throughout his NFL career, she recently made waves by gifting a ‘perfect’ retirement gift to Jason, making his exit from the league eventful.

Now, Kylie is once again in the limelight due to her latest Instagram post, where she looks determined while playing a hockey match with the team USA ahead of the Paris Olympics. Kylie Kelce took the field with the team USA Women’s National Team albeit embarrassing herself playing with the strong hockey players.

Taking to her official Instagram handle @ kykelce, she shared her stupendous hockey experience by resharing the post of Rob Kuestner, NBC 10 Senior Eagles, and special projects Producer’s post on her IG story.  Along with sharing a glimpse of the interesting hockey match, she captioned the post “Had an awesome experience hanging out with these two talented women and the @nbcphiladelphia crew!”

In the recent post, Kylie Kelce, Head Varsity Field hockey coach at Lower Merion High School, displayed her extraordinary hockey skills with the players Ashley Sessa, and Kelee Lepage. Berks County high school graduate, Lepage will represent the US women’s national team as members of the team in field hockey in 2023-24.

In the original post shared by Kuestner,  the post caption reads “ Can’t wait to share what happened with @kykelce took the field with @ashley_sessa17 and @keleelepage of @usafieldhockey_wnt. Really fun story. Here’s a sneak peek.” The video embeds text that displays the details of Kylie Kelce’s impressive hockey match, which reads “This Friday! 5 PM. Drive for Gold. Don’t miss it!”

Apart from Ashley, and Kelee, NBC10 Philadelphia crew members also joined the interesting playoff. However, Kylie Kelce’s hockey game grabbed the attention of many people ahead of the Paris Olympics.

Since her school days, Kylie has been engaging in hockey. During her graduation from Cabrini University in 2017, she was a four-year starter on their field hockey team. According to a university’s official report, she received the invitation for the undergraduate ceremony, which will be held on May 19, 2024.

She will share her views at the upcoming university event. Earlier, Kelce remarked in a press release that her life has been transformed by attending Cabrini. “One of the best decisions I’ve ever made was to become a part of the Cabrini field hockey family, The experience gave me memories and friendships that will last a lifetime.”

Following her graduation, Kelce received the honor of becoming the head varsity field hockey coach at her alma school, Lower Merion High School in 2019. Since then she has been mentoring many hockey students. Apart from her professional life, Kylie also invests her best efforts into building her personal relationships. And this time, her gift for Jason Kelce has caught the attention of fans.

Kylie kelce’s custom gift for Jason’s retirement

Since Jason Kelce announced his retirement from the Philadelphia Eagles in March, his wife Kylie Kelce put her great efforts into making his retirement most memorable and happy. She gifted him a unique and meaningful customized gift, a wooden replica of Lincoln Financial Field where her NFL husband played for 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles. Super Bowl LII, winner, Jason has a special sentiment for this football stadium, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as he completed with all of his notable stats.

Kylie approached Dana Theobald, one of the best artists and woodworkers, to make this special gift for her husband, placing a special order. Kylie disclosed that this special wooden replica had taken years to prepare through her Instagram post on April 22, though sharing Dana’s IG post about the gift’s design.“I messaged @danatheo.designs TWO years ago! She came up with this beautiful custom design and then waited for me to give the retirement green light and J’s final list of accolades.” It was indeed a special token of love to cherish this memorable event.

As soon as Swift dropped all 31 songs off of her surprise double album on Friday, April 19, Swifties immediately got to work rehashing every lyric and picking apart every line, desperate to uncover the secret messages on every tune.

It didn’t take long for fans to theorize that both “So High School” and “The Alchemy” are about Travis — but now, everyone is beginning to come to the realization that the latter track also contains a reference to Jason.

On first listen, it’s no surprise that fans zeroed in on “The Alchemy” being about Swift cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs tight end throughout the football season. But on second, third, and fourth listen, another thought crystallized in fans’ heads — one that specifically tied the “shirts off” lyric to Jason’s infamous shirtless moment during the Chiefs vs. Buffalo Bills game.

“Shirts off and your friends lift you up over their heads / Beer stickin’ to the floor, cheers chanted ’cause they said / There was no chance trying to be the greatest in the league,” Swift sings on the bridge. “Where’s the trophy? He just comes runnin’ over to me.”

“IS THE SHIRT OFF LINE IN ALCHEMY ABOUT JASON KELCE?!?!? #TSTTPD,” one fan tweeted.

“‘shirts off and your friends lift you up over their heads’ JASON KELCE WELCOME TO THE TAYLOR SWIFT SONGWRITING UNIVERSE,” another wrote in all caps.

“The ‘Shirts off’ Line in The Alchemy is definitely about Jason Kelce and I love it #TSTTPD,” a third person penned.

“I want Jason Kelce to cover ‘The Alchemy,’” a fourth social media user commented.

The retired Philadelphia Eagles star recalled the viral moment — in which he cheered on the Chiefs while shirtless in the stands at the January game — telling his brother on their New Heights podcast that the shirtless partying was just how his “mind works after 40 Miller Lites.”

While Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce, tried to encourage him not to do it — “she was already telling me to be on my best behavior because we were meeting Taylor” — he won Swift over with “the Jason Kelce charm.”

“Well, Tay said she absolutely loves you,” Travis told his older brother.

WHAT HAPPENED?

When discussing Wales rugby player Louis Rees-Zammit’s move to the Kansas City Chiefs, NFL legend Kelce said when he thought of Welsh people, he thought “posh”. After being quickly told how wrong he was on social media, the 36-year-old admitted to his error, saying he was “incredibly happy” to be wrong. McElhenney then offered to show the former Philadelphia Eagles center around, indicating a Wrexham game could be on the cards.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Kelce is one of the most popular NFL stars today due to both his epic career and his podcast, ‘New Heights’, alongside younger brother Travis (of Taylor Swift fame). McElhenney, on the other hand, is now transitioning from media to sport, having bought Wrexham in 2021 with fellow actor Ryan Reynolds and since leading them to League One with back-to-back promotions.

WHAT KELCE AND MCELHENNEY SAID

When told how misguided he was regarding Welsh people, Kelce wrote on X: “Yea, I’ve come to understand, I was very incorrect on this. Based on further assessment since these incorrect statements, not sure why I had these preconceptions in my mind, but I have found that the Welsh seem exactly like my kind of people. Happy to be incredibly wrong.”

McElhenney replied to him to say: “Yes, incredibly wrong. I should show you around someday. I might know a few people. See for yourself.”

WHAT NEXT FOR MCELHENNEY, WREXHAM AND KELCE?

McElhenney’s next few weeks are set to be spent basking in the joy of another promotion for his side and making early plans for the summer transfer window. Wrexham’s season ends with a home clash against Stockport County next weekend. As for Kelce, he is recently retired from the NFL, meaning he may have time to plan a trip to Wales and see how “posh” the people are for himself.

Jason Kelce appears to have confirmed his influence on one of the ‘fits Taylor Swift has crafted for her new era, if only jokingly.

The recently retired center recently addressed a connection one Swiftie made on social media after the fan, named Haleigh, questioned, “oh no what did you do @JasonKelce?!” after some took note that the “Style”s songstress appeared to be wearing a pair of flip-flops in one of the new photos taken for The Tortured Poets Department.

Jason, of course, is infamous for his penchant for flip-flops—particularly when it’s far from flip-flop-weather—so it’s only natural that some would point to the touring artist’s NFL beau’s brother upon noticing her choice in footwear, and it turns out Jason is in on the joke, too, “liking” the post and acknowledging his new role as Swift’s style icon.

As many pointed out, they’re more likely to be designer t-strap sandals, but the vibes—and the point—remain.

Fans took the joke and ran with it, with one replying, “Taylor needs to bring stilettos for Taylor,” referencing the time Jason neglected to bring jeans to wear to his documentary premiere and blamed the fact that he was in a pair of athletic shorts on his wife, Kylie. “Don’t be surprised [if] @JasonKelce mentions your tweet in the next @newheightshow episode,” another said, and it almost feels like a guaranteed feature in the segment where they read off social media shoutouts or when Jason undoubtedly teases Travis about his suspected features in the new album.
