Michael Jordan’s life is so interesting that we simply keep finding a new story. This time, we look at when he faced off against a very famous father-son duo from Hollywood. Michael Jordan was nothing short of legendary, even way back in 1987.

A point at which he was just picking off his career. MJ had averaged 37 points per game just the season before and he was the name on everyone’s lips.

Naturally, the fervor around the Bulls superstar was enough to attract the media. Like a moth to a flame, they were drawn towards Jordan.

In one such instance, there was a time when for a TV show, MJ was challenged by Hollywood stars and a father and son duo, Michael Sheen and Charlie Sheen.

Well, it was two Davids vs Goliath. But this time, the Goliath was too big. However, for a moment it did seem like MJ was facing off against his ‘greatest rival’.

Charlie Sheen has now become one of the early 21st-century icons. The star of the hit comedy show “Two and a Half Men” is notorious for being a philanderer.
