Why is Michael Jordan considered an A-Hole off the court?

[Da KO King]

He's a douche, doesn't make him any less a ball player though.

[Euroleague]

He's considered an a-hole off the court because he is an a-hole. Seriously, Jordan is clearly one of the most arrogant douche bags around.

[caliman]

Just the fact that he allows his security team to call him Yahweh makes him an a-hole.

[Lebron23]

Off the top of my head he's punched teammates and my least favorite quote from him was one of his teammates was picking up tickets for his family to watch him play and he said no one wants to watch you sit on the bench or something similar in that regard

Damn

I honestly haven't seen anything too damning about MJ's a-holeness. It's competitiveness ruthlessness and the typical celebrity diva stuff but that's about it.

I met Mike once. This was like 3 years ago, and I was in Chicago visiting family, and we went out to eat one night. I don't even remember the name of the restaurant. But it was me, and two of my cousins. Anyway, we get to the restaurant, and Michael Jordan was walking in with a mini entourage just as we were. We were like holy shit that's Michael Jordan.

So my cousin walks up to him and is like yo Mike, can we get a picture? Then Mike was like "say one more word and everybody in this restaurant is getting raped". We were like... wtf? So my cousin is like "... umm... what?" And Mike is like "I told you, mother****er", and that's when he snapped his fingers and a black tinted out Chevrolet Colorado pulls up and out hops Kobe Bryant. We were like WTF is going on? And Kobe sprints into the restaurant and just rips off his warmup pants, and he has nothing on underneath, and he starts raping everybody.

He was running from table to table just raping everything in sight, busting nuts everywhere. The entire restaurant was covered in so much c.um that I was fearful the walls were going to cave in due to the excessive moisture. It looked like the Jolly Green Giant's bottle of Elmer's glue exploded. It was serious.

He could have just said no...

Ironically, if the patrons had just said yes to Kobe, this whole snafu could've been avoided.

Not talking about how cocky he was on the court, he could talk as much smack as he wanted there. He's the greatest.

But beyond Chamillionaire's anecdote about his run in with MJ, what are other true stories of how MJ behaves off the court? Both back in the day and today.

Bruh you can just tell hes an jerk. He has no humility what so ever which is fine btw. I dont need my favorite players to be good human beings. To answer your question though. He embarrassed his wife and jeopardized his family by cheating on her with multiple woman some of who were escorts and porn stars. There was the whole Republicans where jordan too thing. He punched multiple teammates in the face. He snitched on his teammates in the last dance. His hall of fame speech was full of him being petty and a jerk.

Do i have to continue?

People who create all these delusions of being slighted in their head and always have something to prove to everyone are assholes.

MJ is a legit sociopath. I'm watching his docs and interviews from the 90s and he was so calm, soft spoken, slow and articulate.

You could feel the overwhelming diplomacy in his tone.

First time he ever talked to iverson he said "whats up you little bitch". (along with countless other stories)

i feel like what the media projected vs what was true beneath were totally different things.

There is no reason to like Jordan, Kobe, or Lebron beyond what they could do on a basketball court. They are all completely contrived media protected personalities. Who the hell would want to hang out with any of these dudes?

Kobe was realer than Jordan. He was a bit of a dick, but everybody knew it. He didn't front.

And tbh, he seemed really cool off the court. He wasnt a degenerate gambler or drinker like mike. His only vice was basketball.

Lebron is a cringy SJW. and huge narcissist who pretends to be the good guy. We can at least agree on that.

Endless anecdotes.

More recently, he ghosted Charles Barkley. Out of the blue. BFFs one day, but ghosted the next and they haven't spoken in 8 years. Chuck had the audacity to criticize Jordan as an executive.

Just dumb sh-t like that. Jordan is a child. Developmentally stunted. He's still the bully on the playground that can dish it but can't take it.
