Has anyone here actually met Michael jordan ?

[Blankthawtz]

I met him once at Madison Square Garden... Dude tried to school me on the type of people u keep around u and wire taps.... Said white women are just easier to manage and thats why he prefers them.... Told me if Denzel didn't have such high clout in Hollywood he'd be at the top of his game....


Edit: thought thread title said Michael B. Jordan.....

 

[patscorpio]

Did security for a couple of his events...he was cool

So I actually met MJ when I was at a Morehouse fundraiser back in 2007. I was 23 then my first time out that way. It was a cool event. Lots of cats from the NBA and NFL was there...Emmitt Smith was there and Dan Marino was there...which was surprising cause he was like the only white guy up in that fundraiser.



So me and my Dad see Michael Jordan standing outside the alumni hall talking to some women...some middle aged college moms that were taking a break from the festivities inside the banquet room to take some pics for the Morehouse Myspace page.

Me and my Dad see MJ and we're like "what's up? Glad you could make it out here can we get a picture" and the first thing Michael does is deadass look us both in the eye and he legit looks like like we seriously inconvenienced him at that time
I dont know if he was trying to get the digits from the cougar brigade he was talking to or what...I just assumed that cause the nikka looked irritated at our presence.

So Mike just says..."yall cant see I'm busy here...?"
And just goes back to talking to those women.
I say "can we get a picture didn't mean to bother you we just thought it was cool to see you at the fundraiser tonight..."


This nikka straight up says to us "you want a picture that shyt gonna cost you 5 racks right now for putting me in a bad spot right now and I am not even playin...yall see I was busy chatting up these ladies right here you cokcblocking or something my nikka?"

And my dad just taps me on the shoulder and says to me "yea let's go...this doesn't seem like a good idea".

I was heated fam...like this dude is somebody I looked up to since I was like 8 or 9 and he has the nerve to get attitude with me and my dad like we some bums?

I get he's Michael Jordan and he is the greatest athlete to ever live...but I ain't even have friends that shaded me like that...that was some real grimy nikka shyt!


And its like... I cant knock this nikka out cause hes like 6 foot 6 and he could probably mollywhop me...

So we just left...as soon as we get back to the alumni hall John Singleton was there and told me he saw everything and he was like "yea Mike's like that...sometimes hes cool sometimes he's not"
...

I stopped wearing Jordans for four years after that incident.



Actually I'm bullshyttin...I ain't never net that dude.

My mom met him back in the 80s. He was flying into SeaTac airport to play the Sonics and she said he ignored all the black folks, just acknowledged the white folks. I'm dead serious too, not trying be funny.

My uncle was on the practice squad for UNC if I remember correctly I'm from Raleigh. Funny enough my mom remember Henry Bibby and Mike when he was a baby they are from Franklinton Nc. When Mike started getting popular on the kings she knew exactly who he was lol.

I saw him a bunch in the 90s
I got his autograph at his celebrity golf tournament he use to have during the 90s in Greenville, NC
He also use to show at b-ball camps ever summer in the Greensboro area that was sponsored by whom ever the world wide Wes was at the time and every star b-ball player in the league at that time would show up
To me He seemed as down to earth as you could expect being one of the most famous people in the world and he was always around Black people
And Oakley was always with him

I was 12 and was in DC for spring/Easter break. im a family friend of someone who played for the bullets back then and went to see the bullets vs bulls that year.

after the game me and some of my family were in the back where the buses were with other family and friends of the players. I met johhny red Kerr and a couple of the bench guys.. Malik yoba was randomly there too...pretty sure this was when NYUC was poppin, either way he was a cool dude towards me

A crowd of about 10/15 or so were introduced to MJ ..he shook all of our hands or hugged the females and he made sure to tell every dude that wasn't wearing J's that they had the wrong shoes on. being a Pistons Stan I told him Grant Hill got next and he said "yeah if he leaves Detroit" he shytted on my shoes in the nicest way possible and all in all he was nice to everyone and took time to talk to us unlike Scottie pippen.

 

[TaxCollector13459]

[Greenhornet]

had a friend meet Kanye during college dropout era ... happy as fukk to go backstage because he made beats and was heavy into chopping samples

he said kanye west shook everyone's hand and then stayed on his cellphone talking mad loud and ignoring them kept asking the bodyguard where the hoes were at instead


I love that story.

I didn't really met him but his suv pulled up next to me at All Star Weekend in LA 04. I was on the staff on Jordan Brand comedy show (Where I met Steve Harvey bytchass). I snuck like I was going to the bathroom cuz they didn't have smoke breaks.

I went out back to the closed off private parking lot hiding hoping nobody in power saw me and while I was smoking two big black Escalades pull up. About a foot from where I was standing. Big ass dude pops out the right. Looks at me and nods and walks to the other side. Opens the door and MJ and his wife pop out (or some woman with him) and I make eye contact and go about smoking.

I wasn't supposed to fratinise with the celebrities nor was I supposed to be there nor was I supposed to be smoking. So I just watched them enter the building thru what I Assume was a private back entrance and finished my cigarette and went back.

That's it. Nobody said nothing and 15 year's later I tell the Coli. Probably the most uneventful meeting of the night.

I didn’t meet but I met his son Marcus. It was when I was working at Carson’s for my first Christmas season there. He was walking through and i stopped him and I said ‘Hey excuse me, you look familiar... like are you one of Michael Jordan’s sons?’ He got excited and started nodding. I continued ‘...yeah the one that dates white girls.’

He didn’t like that. He turned in the opposite way immediately. Prolly went to shop in Macy’s.

 

[SunZoo]

Closest I got was John Salley, and if I ever meet him again I'm going to take a crowbar to his knees.
