Michael Jordan Discovers His High School Janitor Still Working at 80—What He Does Next Will Amaze You!
Basketball legend Michael Jordan is known for his dominance on the court, but his latest off-court move is proving why he’s also a champion in life.
During a recent visit to Emsley A. Laney High School in Wilmington, North Carolina—the place where his basketball journey began—Jordan made a surprising discovery. While touring the halls of his alma mater, he recognized a familiar face: Mr. James Coleman, the school janitor who had been working there for decades.
At 80 years old, Mr. Coleman was still on the job, sweeping floors and maintaining the school just as he had when a young Jordan roamed the hallways. Shocked to see the beloved janitor still working at his age, Jordan stopped to chat, reminiscing about the old days and sharing laughs. But what happened next stunned everyone.
Moved by the dedication and hard work of his former school janitor, Jordan personally stepped in and changed Mr. Coleman’s life forever. According to sources close to the NBA icon, Jordan offered to cover all of Coleman’s expenses for retirement, ensuring that he could finally take a well-deserved break after decades of service.
The gesture left school staff and students in awe, with many praising Jordan for his generosity and gratitude toward the people who helped shape his early years.
“Michael always remembers where he came from,” said one of his former teachers. “Seeing him give back in such a meaningful way is a reminder of the kind of person he is—not just a basketball legend, but a man with a big heart.”
Jordan has a long history of giving back, including multi-million dollar donations to charities, education programs, and medical facilities. However, this personal act of kindness shows that no matter how big his legacy becomes, he never forgets the people who supported him along the way.
As for Mr. Coleman, he can now finally enjoy his retirement without financial worries, thanks to one of the greatest athletes of all time. And for those who grew up admiring Jordan, this is yet another reason why he will always be considered a true GOAT—both on and off the court.
