Michael Jordan knows a thing or two about baseball, as evidenced by his stint with the Chicago White Sox organization in 1994, and the legendary basketball star is apparently a huge supporter of one of baseball's greatest talents.
"I am a big fan of (Mike) Trout, the baseball player," Jordan said during a Q&A at his 20th annual basketball camp earlier this week. "I absolutely love him. I wish I could hire him. But he's Nike, so I can't steal Nike's guys."
Trout, who was a basketball standout in high school, isn't likely to make the jump over to the Jordan Brand. He already boasts his own line of footwear with Nike.

Jordan isn't the only basketball star to be amazed by Trout. Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant is also a big fan of the Los Angeles Angels center fielder.
