Hurts' affection for Michael Jordan is no secret. He partnered with Jordan Brand in 2023. He wears Jordan cleats. During the Super Bowl parade, he wore a "Love, Hurts" hoodie. One of the photos after the Super Bowl win was Jordan-esque, featuring Hurts sitting in the hallway with the Lombardi Trophy in front of him while he smoked a cigar.

Jalen Hurts considers Michael Jordan a friend, and he values his advice. Jordan, who won six NBA titles, shared wisdom with Hurts after the Philadelphia Eagles' Super Bowl win.

Hurts provided a resounding answer, though, while throwing for five touchdowns and running for five touchdowns during the team's postseason run. He led the Eagles to a dominant 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs with the Lombardi Trophy hanging in the balance and took home the Super Bowl LIX MVP in the process.
