Michael Jordan Tops Forbes‘ Highest Paid Retired Athletes List

http://ift.tt/1VVXDvB

Even in retirement Michael “Air” Jordan continues to prove that he will not lose. Forbes recently released their list of the worlds highest paid retired athletes and naturally at the top of list was none other than his Airness himself.

Jordan stockpiled an impressive $110 million in 2015 alone.

If you keep up with sneaker culture this should come as no surprise as Jordans Retros have become such a stable in today’s streetwear scene and pop culture it’s basically considered a type of currency, depending on which pairs you have at your disposal.

Then if you take into account his endorsement deals with Hanes, Gatorade, and Upper Deck it would totally make sense that the greatest basketball player of all-time has an estimated worth of $1.1 billion.

Not bad for a man taken number 3 overall in the NBA draft, in 1984.

Just goes to show how much we admire this man and revere his legacy… even if he may allegedly hate Hip-Hop.

While some argue that the best rap battle lyrics  come from 'off the top of the dome' preparation has proven to be the key to success.  There is no doubt that some of the best lyrics of all time  were written and a majority of the time they weren't written by the rapper delivering the lyrics . If you are thinking about showing up to that battle without pre-prepared bars, you may want to think again.  Here is our list of the some of the best rap battle lyrics : "You ain't a lea...
