The greatest baller of all time was known for being ruthless with his rivals
Michael Jordan is the best definition of greatness on the court, and redefined superstar athlete off it.
Following his junior year with the North Carolina Tar Heels, Jordan entered the NBA Draft and was selected third overall by the Chicago Bulls.
The court was his and the world soon followed. His unmistakable style – the wagging tongue, the baggy shorts, the signature line of sneakers – helped make the 14-time All Star the most recognizable person on the planet. And then there’s his perfect record in NBA Finals: 6-0, including six Finals MVPs.
Jordan got confronted by his dunking sytle
Vernon Maxwell‘s NBA resume includes playing for eight teams over 13 seasons, winning two championships, and making several game-winning shots. He hade stints with the Denver Nuggets, San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets, and Philadelphia 76ers.
It was with the Rockets where he had some clashes with Michael Jordan and he remembered some of them during his participation in the latest episode of the “All The Smoke” podcast, hosted by former NBA players Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson.
Maxwell talked about the fact that the arena would be filled with MJ’s fans who wanted to see the GOAT live. That included some of the Rockets supporters, who would switch teams whenever Jordan was in town and would turn into the biggest Bulls fans.
Jackson asked Maxwell if he ever got into it with Michael, and Vernon mentioned one time where he was fed up with the Bull star. “Jumping everywhere, every time I turn around I’m looking at the bottom of that mf shoe. I ain’t never see a mf just spin and jump at the same time. I mean, just gone.
This mf spinned on me and dunked the s*** outta me. He hit me on my a** when he was running back. I grabbed that mf, that’s when I ran and grabbed this motherf***** and I told him to keep his hands to himself, do not touch me”.
Michael is the best basketball player ever
In 1991, the Michael Jordan-led Bulls launched an all-out assault on the rest of the league winning three straight world championships. MJ won Olympic gold again in 1992 and then in 1993 abruptly retired from the Bulls to play minor league baseball.

He returned to the NBA full-time in 1995 and the Bulls promptly won three consecutive titles. Jordan was named Finals MVP each time. In 2001, Jordan made a second improbable comeback and still averaged 20 points per game and appeared in the 2002 and 2003 All Star Games.
That’s one of the reasons why Jordan is considered the best basketball player to ever step on the court, and his legacy will live on forever as the staple of a fierce competitor who wanted nothing else but wins and championships, even if it meant not being considered as the best teammate a baller could have.
