Tennis legend Jimmy Connors dropped a fun fact on his podcast, Advantage Connors. A photo from the 1980s Kenny Rogers Classic Weekend sparked the conversation. This event was a big deal, bringing together sports stars like Michael Jordan and Larry Bird, and even celebrities like Woody Harrelson. Someone asked if Jimmy ever dunked on Jordan. With a laugh, Jimmy admitted he did—with a little help from Larry Bird's shoulders! The Kenny Rogers Classic was more than just fun, it was a competition in sports like tennis and golf, all for charity. Jimmy was a tennis champ, winning 109 singles titles and 8 Grand Slams. He secret to success? Quality training and not overworking himself. He only played a few tournaments each year, staying fresh and eager for each match. Modern players might learn a thing or two from his strategy!
