Mischief’s 2021 Michael Jordan Basketball Prank
In this video, the creators recount a clever internet prank pulled off by a company called Mischief in 2021. They sold basketballs supposedly signed by Michael Jordan for just $23, advertising that each ball would come with a video of Jordan personally signing it. Naturally, the basketballs sold out almost immediately.
However, the twist was in the video linked via a QR code on the box: it featured a man impersonating Michael Jordan, humorously saying,
“Hi, I’m Michael Jordan. Thank you for buying my autograph,”
revealing the whole thing as a playful trick.
The prank highlights how easily the internet can be fooled with clever marketing and a bit of humor.
