During his tenure as an event security personnel, Joseph Sikora was responsible for ensuring the safety of various famous celebrities. His role extended beyond just protection, as he was also responsible for creating a pleasant and enjoyable experience for these high-profile individuals at every event.
To achieve this, Sikora faced the challenge of managing enthusiastic fans, keeping them at bay to prevent any potential disturbances or harm to the celebrities. Although he had received training for such responsibilities, Sikora candidly acknowledged his shortcomings when he was assigned to escort the legendary Michael Jordan.
In a revealing moment, Sikora recounted that his focus on safety wavered when a group of attractive women approached him, asking if they could get closer to MJ. Caught up in the excitement of the situation, he let his guard down.
However, Jordan, unfazed by the women's presence and looks, promptly called Sikora out for neglecting his duties.
"I was working security at a club in Chicago called Le Passage and they assigned me to personal like to some of the celebrities that would come, just make sure that you know nobody messes with Bill Murray you know, and all these [celebrities]," Joseph revealed on "The Angie Martinez Show" in 2022.
"But then Michael Jordan was there and like, you know, there'd be like these beautiful girls, [like] 'Oh, can I say hey to Michael?' and I am like, 'Yeah,' and he's like, 'What are you doing? You're supposed to be like, nobody comes [to me],' like, 'I am just trying to chill,' and he told me that I was, you know, being terrible at my job, but he was right," he added.
Unlike other NBA legends known for their public flings, Jordan has always taken a different approach to dating and relationships. While some might perceive this as unusual for a famous athlete, his perspective is rooted in his past experiences that have shaped his views on the matter.
In the past, Mike had a girlfriend whom he deeply cared for. However, over time, the Chicago Bulls superstar realized that her intentions were not genuine — she was only after his wealth and fame.
"It got tired in five, six days," Jordan told GQ Magazine's David Breskin. "I could see it. Right now," he says, "I don't trust no one except my mother."
The experience left a bad taste in Michael's mouth. It also likely influenced his decision to keep his romantic life private, steering clear of the limelight that often accompanies celebrity relationships.
As it stands, Jordan has completely embraced a new chapter in his life, leaving behind any remnants of his past relationships. Currently, he seems to be thriving alongside his wife, Yvette Prieto.
The couple married in 2013 and have shared a joyful and fulfilling life together since then.
