7 Stories That Prove Michael Jordan Was Not Human

When Michael Jordan dunked the ball from the foul line in the 1988 dunk contest, it was confirmed on live television that the man simply wasn't

human

and the crazy thing is, everyone knew it. I mean one time when a young Kobe Bryant was training with the Philadelphia 76ers he asked them what it's like to guard Mike and they said, Mike, you mean black Jesus. Michael Jordan is a basketball God who lives in the body of a man and today we are going to

prove

it. We all know that MJ worked hard and tirelessly. basketball court to ensure the success of his team, but did you know that he also used every tactic in the Playbook to gain an advantage over his competitors, including referee manipulation?

Yes that's right, sports writer Andy Andrews called this the Jordan effect and according to him, Jordan made his way with referees by interacting with them on a personal level, this is what he specifically said Jordan made sure to get to know each referee by his name, so before the game started and the teams were in the arena warming up, he would talk and say, Hi Steve, how's your son? Bobby is in eighth grade this year, right? I've heard he's doing well on the court. Tell Bobby for me that I got cut from my high school team.

Steve, your son is doing better at this stage of his career than I am. He said to keep it up now that the referee can go home to his son and say hey guess what Michael told me to tell you oh you didn't know that yeah son Michael and I are great friends later during the game, who do you think gets it? The benefit of the doubt is who commits more fouls. The player complains, complains and curses at the referee or the referee's friend, the guy who cares about his kid, guys. Not only was MJ bending the laws of physics with his jumping abilities, but he was also bending minds.

Of NBA officials, no normal

human

would think of doing that anyway, guys, as you probably already know, MJ is the type of person who would never back down from any challenge, but despite knowing this, there were times when certain Young Guns still tried to push the bear away. and, as the saying goes, they learned their lesson the hard way in 2013, when MJ was about to celebrate her 50th birthday, 19-year-old Michael Kidd Gilchrist walked up to her and said: Hello, MJ, did you? How about we play a little one on one? -one MJ happily accepts mkg's request and although there were no videos showing proof of what really happened, mkg admitted that the goat kicked his butt, he played with me one on one once and it was hard for I lost, I lost to a 50 year old guy who is my boss, even though he is the best player to play with, ladies and gentlemen, that is a 50 year old guy who beat out a younger, more athletic Hooper, who is the second overall pick in the 2012 draft, tell me.

Anyway, that's not human throughout his career, MJ had great rivalries with all-time great players like Dominic Wilkins, Magic Johnson, Isaiah Thomas and Larry Bird, but among these big names there was a guy with whom MJ He shared two special days with that person. with the name La Bradford Smith, now I know the guy's name doesn't ring a bell to most of you and I can't blame you for that. I mean, Smith was the 19th overall pick in the 1991 NBA draft and he only played. Four Seasons in the league and averaged only 6.7 points per game, although this guy doesn't seem like much, he became a totally different player on the night of March 19, 1993. against MJ and the Bulls Smith went and lost a career. -High 37 points while shooting 75 percent from the field and a perfect seven of seven from the foul line, although the Bulls won that close contest against the bullets 104-99, certain rumors circulated that Smith loaded his performance a bit by approaching MJ incredibly well.

Mike apparently MJ was provoked by those three words and told himself that was all it took for him to do that and it became personal to me. Coincidentally, they had their rematch the next day and uh, let's just say MJ sent a strong message to Smith, I mean, look at this, MJ was roasting him into rotisserie chicken, um, when it was all said and done, Michael scored 36 points to Matching Smith's production the night before in the first half alone, he eventually finished with 37 points to lead the Bulls to a lopsided 126-101 victory, meanwhile Smith cowered back into relevant sin.

He had only 15 points in that contest. Here's the kicker, though years later, MJ said in an interview that Smith never told him anything and that he just made it all up because he needed some extra motivation to get Smith back for outplaying him before What Kind of Human Plays Games? Mental thoughts like that, anyway, whether the threats are real or not, Jordan has a habit of holding grudges against certain players he feels disrespected him and, in fact, keeps a running tally of these names so he can cross them off one by one. one once he got his revenge.

I mean, here's an example when he was playing baseball. Utah was in town to play the Bulls, they are practicing at the facility and I check in. to say hello to John and Carl and this guy Byron Russell comes up to me and says man why did you quit, you knew I could protect you, you had to quit. I said Carl, you need to talk to this guy. Carl then answers and says Oh, he's just a young rookie, but ever since then he's been on my list, this is MJ and this is Byron Russell. MJ scored the winning goal in the NBA Finals against the guy who said you can't score on me and, for that game, Jordan.

He had all the motivation he needed to deny the Jazz twice in consecutive years simply because Russell couldn't help but keep going. Here's another classic MJ story that

prove

s he's not human. Jordan was once the former Chicago's best friend. Blackhawk center Jeremy Ronick In an interview with a radio station, Ronic told a story about him playing golf with Jordan just hours before MJ faced the Cavs. We had been drinking all afternoon and now he's going from Sunset Ridge to the stadium. to play a game and I'm playing, I'm going to call my bookie, all the money you just lost to me, I'm going to bet on Cleveland tonight, he goes, I'll tell you what I bet on that.

We won by 20 points and I'm over 40. I'm like done, motherfucker, he comes out with 52 points and they win by 26 or something after 36 holes of golf and having maybe 10 Bud Lights, God, talk about unreal anyway this story. it happened in 2016. Chris Paul has been one of the most well-known endorsers of the Jordan brand and in 2016 he invited MJ to be part of his summer basketball camp while the kids had fun. CP3 suddenly issued a shooting challenge to MJ with a condition that if he missed three shots, all the kids attending the camp would get free Air Jordans despite being 53 years old at the time.

MJ responded to cp3's challenge and this is what happened. Michael was a savage and never missed a single shot, so the children went home. empty-handed simply because MJ refused to lose a simple game around the world anyway, following here, did you know that Jordan actually had the opportunity to play with the Oakland Athletics in Major League Baseball, but decided to turn it down , as we all know? His Airness went on to play baseball after winning his first three paints and would later sign a minor league contract with the Chicago White Sox, but before this could happen, a long-time baseball executive, Sandy Alderson, attempted to recruit M.J. for the Oakland Athletics, in his own words when I heard that was happening or was about to happen.

I called the agent right away and said, "Hey, look, I understand I might be going to double up." I don't even know who the 25th man on our major league team is right now. I will sign it. and we put him on the Major League roster, tomorrow he will be part of our 25-man team, according to MJ's agent, David Falk. MJ was really receptive to the offer, but in the end he turned it down simply because he wanted to earn a spot on the roster and didn't want things to be given to him.
