Fans are buzzing over a resurfaced video of a young Katie Ledecky playing hide-and-seek with NBA legend Michael Jordan.
After claiming his ninth Olympic gold medal in Paris on Saturday, fans were again treated to a clip of Jordan playing with a young Ledecky in what appears to be a luxury box at an event.
While sitting behind the swimmer, Jordan puts his hands in front of Ledecky’s face and walks away. However, the young Stanford product was unfazed by Jordan’s antics and continued to eat her snacks.
Later in the clip, Ledecky finally broke down, smiled and looked at the person next to her. Jordan gave her a quick tickle before letting Ledecky enjoy her popcorn in peace.
Ledecky shared the clip on X in April 2020, as Jordan’s The Last Dance docuseries was sweeping the country during the pandemic.

The show chronicled Jordan’s historic career leading up to his final season with the Chicago Bulls after winning six NBA championships.
Ledecky wrote: “Going to grab my popcorn for tonight’s episodes of #TheLastDance. I can tell you one thing about Michael Jordan: he’s a tough sneak player, but he didn’t stand a chance against my popcorn.”
The clip has gained momentum amid Ledecky’s impressive run in France.
“Girl you were ice cold in this. Nothing he does disturbs your peace. A champion even when you were little,” wrote one user.
“Goat and future goat,” added another. “The wonders of destiny.”
