NASCAR Driver Tyler Reddick Responds To Viral Video Of Michael Jordan With His Son

[Conservative Angle]

​

As previously reported by the WLT Report, six-time NBA Champion Michael Jordan added another accomplishment to his resume on Sunday after NASCAR driver Tyler Reddick won the Daytona 500 in a car Jordan owns.

However, Jordan and Reddick’s big victory was overshadowed after a video released showed Jordan pinching and pulling Reddick’s child during the victory celebration.

Here was the video:

Reddick has since responded to the video and thinks nothing nefarious was occurring.

OutKick provided Reddick’s response:

Tyler Reddick has been with Michael Jordan’s race team (23XI) for three years now. His six-year-old son, Beau, has basically grown up with Michael Jordan. The three of them just won the Daytona 500 – easily the biggest win for any NASCAR driver or team owner. I’d venture to say it’s bigger than winning an actual championship.

See? Context matters. Just ask Tyler Reddick!

“From my perspective, I’ve gotten to know Michael and his family very well over the years I’ve been here with 23XI,” Reddick told Stephen A. smith on his Sirius XM show Monday evening (starts at the 15:25 mark).

“I don’t see what other people see when it comes to this. For me, it’s a huge moment. This is the biggest moment of my career. It’s a huge moment for my family and for his family, and I just put that off to the side and think about the look on (Jordan’s wife) Yvette’s face and the whole family and his whole group when they got to victory lane too, and just how happy everybody was celebrating together.

“So, that’s where I’m at with it.”

A day after the incident, Reddick was asked a similar question about Jordan’s interaction with his son, but before he could address it, his rep jumped in and said, “We are not going to talk about that.”
