The claim that Donald Trump played basketball with a young Michael Jordan has been debunked by the BBC’s Shayan Sardarizadeh, who has stated that the picture in question is a fake generated by artificial intelligence.
It is truly impressive how technology can manipulate images nowadays.
The question arises – why does this AI-generated image exist and who is it intended to deceive?
What kind of strange mindset felt the need for such a creation and why would anyone attempt to pass it off as real?
It is truly puzzling.
However, if this were an authentic historical document, it would have significant implications.

The idea of a future president assisting a future NBA Hall of Famer in his early years would be remarkable.
Considering Donald Trump’s known jumping abilities, one could speculate that his involvement could explain Michael Jordan’s ability to confidently make the game-winning shot in the 1982 NCAA Championship Game.
Nevertheless, the giveaway that the image is not authentic is Trump’s hair.
As seen in this video, his hair was markedly different in the 90s, suggesting that his hairstyle in the 70s, when the supposed picture would have been taken, would have been even more impressive.
