The College Football Playoff national championship game between Michigan and Washington on Monday drew plenty of stars, with one particular box at NRG Stadium in Houston having some serious star power. The likes of Michael Jordan , Derek Jeter, Stephen A. Smith, and Travis Scott were some of the big names present there.
They witnessed Michigan come away with a 34-13 win, as the team clinched their first title since 1997. Jeter, who grew up in Michigan and received a scholarship to play college baseball for the Wolverines, would certainly have walked away a happy man.
In case you're wondering who Jordan was rooting for here, it certainly would have been the Wolverines as well. In 2015, Michigan was welcomed to the Jordan Brand, and a year later, they officially signed an 11-year, $127.12 million deal with the brand and Nike.
There was a four-year option on the deal as well, which meant it could get to 15 years and $174 million. In the process, the Wolverines became the first-ever college team to sign with the brand, and nine others have followed since.
As for Smith, he didn't really have a horse in this race but did correctly predict before the contest that Michigan would come out on top. It was a lot more lopsided than he had imagined, though, as the Wolverines' rushing attack crushed the Huskies.
NBA Fans Reacted To The Stars Sharing A Box
The video of all the stars sharing that box quickly went viral on social media. NBA fans had a wide range of reactions to the clip.
One said there is a Mt. Rushmore in there, "There’s a Mt Rushmore inside the stadium."
A fan hilariously roasted Travis Scott, "Travis looks like his mom made him hangout with her coworker's kids."
One said it was cool until he saw Stephen A., "Thought it was cool until I saw Stephen."
A fan joked that he was there too, "I was in there too, you just couldn’t see me."
One fan is certain that Jordan bet on the game, "I know for a fact Mike bet on this game."
There is a pretty good chance that Jordan did bet on the game. We know how much he loves to gamble and he has bet on big football games in the past.
Recently, former NFL star Julian Edelman shared a hilarious Jordan story from a week before Super Bowl XLIX. He had bumped into the Chicago Bulls icon and Jeter at a restaurant and approached them.
While Jeter was rather welcoming, Jordan was standoffish, but he did have something to say toward the end of the conversation. He went up to Edelman and hilariously told him, "Hey kid, I got a bunch of money on you, don’t f— it up."
Well, Edelman did not let Jordan down. He ended the Super Bowl with nine receptions, 109 yards, and one touchdown, as his New England Patriots beat the Seattle Seahawks 28-24 in a thrilling contest.
