Just like dominating the hardwood with his prowess, he doesn’t let anyone dictate him off the court as well. Even the public had witnessed it through several media interactions. Jordan proved to the media that he’s not someone who takes nonsense. Similarly, during one such interaction, Jordan snapped back at 100 reporters in 1991.

The year 1991 was a special year for MJ because he delivered the first-ever championship for the Chicago Bulls. Jordan didn’t stop there, he further led the Bulls to consecutive victories and landed the first threepeat for the franchise.

Michael Jordan takes no nonsense from anyone:

In the book ‘Jordan Rules’ by Sam Smith, the author detailed the event where MJ lashed out at the reporters. After winning the Bulls’ first Championship in the 1991 finals, Jordan reached the practice facility for the opening training session for the next season on October 3, 1991.

That’s when the reporters asked MJ about where he’d been in the practice facility. According to the author, Jordan said, “It’s none of your business.” The author further quoted Jordan’s reply in his book, saying, “I don’t have to tell you. I have to live my life the way I want to,” Air Jordan further said. “I might want to know what you did, but I’m not asking you. You’re not my father.”

Horace Grant, Jordan’s teammate, had his say regarding MJ’s absence during the team’s visit to the White House. According to Smith, Grant said, “I think he showed disrespect for the president and his teammates by not showing up.”
