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!

He was probably irritated you asked him while he was on a date. He COULD have at least said no in a polite way. I have met Baron a bunch oftimes and even played with him. Always was a cool dude.Originally Posted by chokeonsmoke
one time i was working at a theater and it just so happens that baron davis comes through with this white girl so i ask him for a autograph and he looks at me and just walks away
you're so naive...he probably had plans to smash your mom....only reason he gave her the signature...Originally Posted by chitown85
Ive always had great experiences with MJ. My mom went into the berto center parking lot around 1993 before the bulls had a fence and he signed my jersey for her and said only for the lady lol. when he was on the wiz and they were playing the bulls for the first time in chicago i was on the court before the game since i was a season ticket holder and chose that game to meet the bulls right before tipoff. mj came on the court and i bumped fists with him right before i left the court. my dad took a perfect picture of me bumping fists with himand i have like 6 autographs from him from charitabull events etc.
