Michael Jordan was recently in Greece where his Jordan Brand was celebrating its 40th anniversary. The event was known as the “Board of Greatness.”

The event featured some of Jordan Brand’s biggest names, including Luka Doncic, who was seen partying with MJ himself.

Afterwards, Jordan was at the “Papaioannou” restaurant where he had an amazing dinner. This experience impressed MJ so much that he left a €10,000 tip.

Jordan also gave a heartwarming speech during the “Board of Greatness.”

“I am thrilled that the Jordan family is here for this special gathering,” Jordan said. “It is fitting that we are in Greece, the birthplace of the Olympic Games and modern sports.

“We began this event believing it was important for us to come together and set the tone for where Jordan Brand is headed, while upholding our commitment to the Brand’s legacy of excellence. I have always felt that spending time together, face-to-face, helps to strengthen who we are and what Jordan Brand stands for.

“We are here to celebrate our successes, learn from our failures, and plan for our opportunities. As we close out our 40th anniversary, we look forward to the future. We have reached a significant moment for Jordan Brand, and you, the athletes, play a pivotal role.

“Your commitment to this Brand, our values, and how we present ourselves matters. You are key to where we go from here, and I can’t wait to see what we can accomplish together. I look forward to a great weekend with all of you.”

Jordan and his brand continue to dominate the sneaker market, and there’s no sign of them slowing down anytime soon.
