Fans take aim at LeBron James after 1995-96 Michael Jordan clip emerges
Even in the 90s, fans were extremely overbearing at times. At the beginning of the 1995-96 season, the Chicago Bulls took on the Cleveland Cavaliers. A disrespectful fan began heckling from the stands, which the legendary Michael Jordan didn’t take too kindly. Contrary to what Bron did, however, MJ drained a shot and decided to shut the heckler up on his own terms. He hit back with some exchanges and then silenced the individual later. Take a look at the video.

Jordan is one to always uphold his no-nonsense theory. Thus, it was a fitting reply to the unpleasant words. After the clip went viral, NBA Twitterati has gone rogue, taking aim at LeBron James. Many believed that instead of complaining, the forward should’ve hit back with his game. While one fan said, “LeBron James should take note,” many others also trolled the icon.

This is why Lebron will never be Jordan or Bird.

If #LeSnitch was HALF the player as Jordan he would have looked at those two and Mutumbo’d them on the free-throw line. Hey, this one is for you… <eyes closed nails a free throw>.
