Michael Jordan, the basketball icon renowned for his fearlessness on the court, harbors an unexpected phobia – a profound fear of snakes.

This revelation comes straight from the horse’s mouth, or in this case, his son’s, as Marcus Jordan shared this little-known fact during an episode of the iHeartRadio podcast, which he co-hosts alongside his girlfriend Larsa Pippen.

In the podcast, Marcus Jordan shed light on some lesser-known aspects of his father’s life, including his deep-seated aversion to snakes. “There’s a bunch of stuff that I feel like people don’t know. One is that he’s terrified of snakes,” he said, via Jedd Pagaduan of Clutch Points.
