39-Year-Old Michael Jordan Slapped Former Number One Pick and Still Earned His Respect; All You Need to Know
Jordan became enraged when Kwame called a foul under the basket during a particularly contentious preseason practice. MJ wanted more toughness from his big man and less complaining about a "goddamn little touch foul." Michael Jordan even recounted the incident in his autobiography, describing how he nearly made Brown cry.
In a subsequent interview, Kwame responded to a question about the incident in a more diplomatic manner. "Michael has never made me cry. Was I deeply offended by him? Yes. He's a competitor, after all," the former first-overall pick clarified.
While Kwame Brown's NBA career never reached its full potential, his maturity is still commendable. Brown criticized the media for spreading unsubstantiated rumors like this one. He said it was "nothing" and believed that people were just trying to create narratives about successful individuals like Michael Jordan.
