Car #23?

23 hasn’t been used since 2018, so it’s possible. Not sure if anyone holds the rights to the number, but even if they do, Hamlin and Jordan could just buy the rights.

Jordan has been a NASCAR fan since his childhood in N.Carolina.

Bad troll attempt is bad.

I envision a solid black car, with the Jordan logo on the hood and the #23 on the roof, both in white. Will look sharp as frick.

So much for the whole "this is what seperates Jordan from Lebron" thing.

Just hire a female Asian driver. They would do just as well as Bubba.

I just hope they don’t put a noose in the garage again.

Jordan wants to break into Nascar, and the first guy he puts on his team is Bubba Wallace.

I see his talent evaluation skills in transferring nicely over from basketball.

It'll be all ok, until he makes it about politics and race.

Bubba is going to a new team owned by Denny Hamlin. Denny purchased the Levine Family charter. Will be backed by Toyota and aligned with JGR like Furniture Row and Truex were.

Some dude on Reddit predicted this about 85 days ago. It's still shocking.

Single-car team is an iffy proposition. Technical alliances typically don't get the best equipment. A generational talent like Tony Stewart can overcome that. Bubba, though improving, isn't race-winning talent, much less generational. I don't trust Denny Hamlin, either.

All that said, this could very well get more visibility from other demographics that potentially leads to subsequent talent.
