Further evidence that Michael Jordan is a D-Bag

That said, I take everything Jim says as gospel, this story especially. It starts with Jordan shooting around at practice at old Chicago Stadium when he looks up and notices the m&m race on the jumbotron. Curious, he asks one of the Bulls' staffers what's up and learns what he is seeing is actually a dry run-through of the night's in-game entertainment, in which the jumbotron and m&m race factor prominently. (I'm pretty sure this was before shooting t-shirts out of an air cannon captivated a nation.) Naturally, MJ wanted to know if the winner of the race was predetermined. Of course the 8-bit graphics betrayed the answer: a resounding "yes".

So later that night, Phil calls a time out and Jordan & co. repair to the bench. As he's sitting down, he looks up at the jumbotron to see the m&m race about to start. So he nudges Scottie.

MJ: "Bet you 5 grand yellow takes this."

Pip: "Bet."

I'm told this went on for years before Scottie ever got wise...

Kobe also spent year not talking to his sister, just because she used his credit card! When Karl Malone made that comical comment about Mexican girls to Kobe's wife, dude called Kay Malone, then left a message on the Malone's answering machine about what Karl was doing on the road!

Now I am no great fan of MJ's personality, but just know that he ain't the only one who has issues!

and i have like 6 autographs from him from charitabull events etc.
