A car dealership employee got the surprise of a lifetime when basketball legend Michael Jordan allegedly walked through the doors with a shopping request that would make even the wealthiest car collectors do a double take.
Forget picking out a favorite model or negotiating a deal on a single luxury vehicle. Jordan reportedly had something much bigger in mind: buying every single car on the lot.
The extraordinary encounter left dealership staff scrambling to process what was happening, with one employee seemingly struggling to comprehend the scale of the potential sale.
But the best part came when the conversation turned to money.
'He's Michael Jordan. What do we gotta do numbers for?' one person remarked, apparently suggesting that there was little point in going through the usual sales routine with the NBA icon.
And Jordan's reported response was just as priceless.
'We don't need numbers. I got the numbers.'
Another memorable line from the encounter captured the astonishing simplicity of his request: 'I want one of everything.'
For a car salesman, it's the kind of customer interaction that sounds almost too good to be true. Most shoppers arrive with a budget, a preferred model and a list of demands. Jordan, on the other hand, supposedly skipped straight to the ultimate shopping spree.
The clip has all the ingredients of a dealership employee's dream scenario: a legendary customer, an almost unbelievable spending proposition and a sales negotiation that apparently didn't need much negotiating.
Of course, when you're Michael Jordan, the usual question of whether you can afford the cars isn't exactly the first thing on anyone's mind.
Some customers want a test drive. Michael Jordan apparently wanted the entire inventory.
