Michael Jordan, peacemaker? Video shows basketball legend breaking up fight

Many know him as a basketball legend, businessman and golfer.

But now Charlotte Hornets team owner Michael Jordan can add peacemaker to his list of accomplishments.

A video making the rounds appears to show Jordan breaking up a fight in a parking lot. According to a description of the video on YouTube, the incident happened outside the MGM Grand in Las Vegas after Saturday’s boxing match between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. (Fair warning, the video contains graphic language.)

Jordan is shown standing in front of a man who is arguing with someone else in the lot, and can be heard saying “You’re good” to apparently try to calm the man down.

It’s not clear whether many other people tried to break up the fight. But some in the crowd took advantage of their closeness to Jordan to share their admiration. “I buy all your shoes, Michael, swear to God,” one says, while others try to get Jordan to turn around for a photo.
