The first-ever Miami Grand Prix took place yesterday night, and the world’s most famous names were present to witness Max Verstappen lift the trophy for the inaugural race. Among the many sporting icons in attendance, Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, David Beckham, and Lewis Hamilton got together for a short while to click an iconic photo.
As soon as the photo went viral on social media, fans throughout the world had various reactions to it. Analysts at “UNDISPUTED” went on to make a big competition about the popularity of the four accomplished athletes.
During yesterday’s episode, Shannon Sharpe went on to state that Michael Jordan was the biggest icon, popularity-wise, among the 4. And for some reason, the analyst decided to “troll” Beckham for not winning anything, which by the way Mr. Sharpe, is incorrect.
