is psychotic awesome This was back during one of the Bulls' championships runs, and Scottie Pippen was trying to get Luc Longley fired up during the Finals. All the players were together before the game, and Scottie was talking to Luc, who stands 7"2. "Need you to bring your A game," said Scottie And before Luc could respond or even nod, Michael whipped around in front of everyone and said, "Bring your A game? Bring agame." And Once during the playoffs, on the day after a grueling overtime game, the team was ready to start practice until Michael looked around and noticed one guy was missing. "Where the hell is Burrell?" he barked. Scott Burrell, a part-time player at best, was in the training room. Michael stormed in there, where poor Scott was on the table getting treatment for an alleged hamstring issue. MJ grabbed the table -- with Scott still on it -- and completely flipped it over. "I just played forty-eight ****ing minutes last night!" Michael roared. "Everything's killing me, and you have a ****ing hamstring? Get your ****ing ass in the ****ing practice now!"
I went to see Jordan play baseball in Birmingham á la Space Jam and he struck out three times. We waited after the game for an autograph, it never happened. I got to see Jordan play.... baseball.
Ive always known MJ to be a little nuts. I knew Scotties agent and she had some stories about MJ that made him seem like a real a-hole. But thats also what made him an animal on the court.
