Revisiting the Jordan, Chamillionaire incident, was Jordan alpha or a douchebag here?

[Twerk4it]

Story for the unaware:

In 2009, Chamillionaire crossed paths with Michael Jordan at a party for the basketball legend after bidding over $7000 for one of his jerseys at a Reggie Bush charity auction. After seeing Jordan posing for pictures with some ladies at the party, Chamillionaire tried for his own snapshot with him. "I don't ask nobody for nothin' I never do," Chamillionaire retells in a video on his Web site. "I was just like, man, this is just that one moment. I'm gonna ask Mike for a picture." The rapper approached Jordan, who was sitting next to filmmaker Spike Lee and members of the Boston Celtics, including Forward Paul Pierce. "They were just chilling and I said, 'I don't mean to be rude, but Mike, I just wanted to know if I could get a picture." Although Chamillionaire was expecting to get a "No" from him, he wasn't expecting what Jordan actually replied; "I ain't taking pictures with no *****s!" Chamillionaire thought that Jordan didn't hear him properly and explained that he just paid $7000 for one of his jerseys. Jordan responded; "You know what, I tell you what, you pay $15,000 right now for a jersey from me and I'll take a picture with you."

Chamillionaire charges that he's "never been so heated" in his life. Pierce even tried to chime in. "Paul Pierce was like, 'Yo, whoa, chill out. That's Chamillionaire, man," the rapper continued. Jordan didn't budge and retorted with an "I don't give a ****, *****!" Chamillionaire then turned to Spike Lee, shook his hand and said "It's all good." Describing Jordan's A-list entourage upon his departure, Chamillionaire said they "all just had that look like, 'That's just how Mike is."

Chamillionaire excuses Jordan's "most rudest" behavior by reasoning that "this dude must feel a certain way inside, where he just be treating people like that." Nike and Jordan apparently tried to apologize by sending Chamillionaire jerseys and shoes. Chamillionaire says he lost respect for the legendary basketball player following the ordeal, allegedly responded to the peace-offering by saying, "No, *****."

Could you imagine if LBJ did something like this?

Not alpha. If you don't want to take a photo, that's fine, but don't be a dick about it. Fans are the people that made it possible for you to make 500 million playing a game.

[Mutumbo000]

Jordan was a great basketball player but pretty much every source I've ever read or heard about says he's a douche irl

[brb_ballin]

Chamillionaire is a ******* MJ should of stomped him out and made him kiss his shoes.

I haz sum bad newz 4 u.....

Jordan was one of the biggest *******s ever to play the game. This is FACT and has been chronicled time & time again in stories from various people throughout the years.

Only guy I've heard who can rival him is probably Tiger Woods.

[Spill512]

are there more stories of him acting like this?

A guy on the Niketalk forum posted a story about meeting him at a golf charity tournament.

He asked him to sign his Jordans and Michael told him to get that chit out of his face lmfao.

Never understood why people think this.... What exactly gives you the right to be a d1ck? You're making more money than 99.99% of people will ever see in their lifetimes and you're being worshipped and treated like a god wherever you go.You'd think that you'd be extra NICE with all of that in your corner lol.

Jordan is notoriously an *******, you can hear countless stories of his behavior and occasionally see it spill out. The media and his sponsorships do everything they can to hide it. Jordan himself hides it pretty well in his TV appearances and speeches too.

How is everyone in this thread so unaware? Jordan is notorious for being a complete douchebag to fans and civilians.

He's particularly well-known for never tipping anyone in the service industry and treating anyone who works for or with him like chit.

[Ace50]

As a leader Jordan proved more tormentor than mentor. Many Washington players got the business end of a Jordan harangue, but he designated second-year forward Kwame Brown as the whipping boy, referring to him, as reported by The Washington Post, as a "flaming ***got." A source told SI that Jordan ritually reduced Brown to tears in front of the team. Brown, whom Jordan took with the first pick in the 2001 draft, showed flashes of brilliance, but his confidence was lacerated by a player who was once his idol. "Michael was tough," Wizards assistant John Bach tells SI. "But that's just who he is, attempting to make [his teammates] better."

this too

[iamtheawesome]

If MJ had come into the league today, he would be one of the most reviled players out there.

The media has a field day with Lebron, and he is actually nowhere near the level of douche that MJ is known to be.

[BullStampede]

Not alpha at all.

[bezarker]

Who the fuck is Chamillionaire?? And why is he on the NFL network???

[Fist-Of-Freedom]

are there more stories of him acting like this?

Lots and lots, even a couple of my buddies.

Heres the vid for the unaware tho:

[Hercegovac8]

I remember my 6th grade history teacher/basketball coach telling us a story about meeting Jordan at a local restaurant

He went up to him and asked him for an autograph, and Jordan turned around and threw his salad bowl at my teachers face

told us he lost all respect for him

[ImaGooner]

Pretty sure MJ punched Steve Kerr in a practice. How the fuk you going to punch this guy?

So Jordan was a douche and needed a team that could win 55 games without him to win a ring.

GOAT.

Jordan is an azshole, but that's what makes him the GOAT on court too. He apologised to Steve Kerr too though, so I don't know why people keep holding on to that.
Still doesn't give him to right to treat people like chit but I guess he is like that. Competitive as phuck.

[montecarlo]

part of the reason jordan doesnt even touch my top 25 favorite ball players of all time....****in huge *******

Being rude to your fans isn't a sign of being competitive, it is a sign that you are an *******.

[ShweezyBTFO]

LeGOAT confirmed as better human being.

[Wu-Massacre]

Nobody should be surprised that Jordan's a douche. People have been killed/stabbed over his shoe brand and he's never done or said anything about those occurrences.
