You know Michael Jordan is hands down the greatest player of time all because players actually enjoy telling stories about a time MJ trashed them. Only the greatest of great players could command that type of respect that would make someone happy to talk about a time they were embarrassed. Former Hornets player Kendall Gill played alongside Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning and he tells a great story of a time MJ made all three of them regret talking trash with just one play!

Me, Larry Johnson, and Alonzo Mourning were young upcoming guns in the league. We were feeling ourselves in this game because we were giving it to the Bulls. After this play our Wild oats quickly became shredded wheats! Alonzo had just blocked 2 of the Bulls shots. We started talking smack. I could [sense] MJ getting mad because We were matched up against each other. I didn’t give a crap though because I was young, dumb and didn’t know any better. MJ back doored me out of the triangle offense and put Zo on his collection of posters. Lol. Moral of this story? Callin out the Devil is one thing. Facing him is another! Never tug on Superman’s cape unless you’re absolutely ready! Did you hear me Pacman?
Nice little dig at Pacquiao at the end there, but nonetheless it is another example of the reign Jordan had during his time in the league and after. There are so many stories similar to this I just hope we get to hear all of them eventually.
