Michael Jordan once sent reporter to hospital: “I’m worried about you getting angry and dying”

Competitiveness is part of all sports on the planets. However, some people take it to a whole new level. Notably, the NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan was extremely competitive. He constantly tried to refuel and did everything to gain the upper hand. It got to a point where Jordan didn’t hold back, even against a reporter.

During MJ’s first retirement, he decided to switch sports and pursue his childhood love of baseball. Jordan competed in the Arizona Fall League of the MLB. Playing for the Scottsdale Scorpions, the team organized for a basketball game. This is where journalist Steve Gilbert showed up to attack Michael. While away from the NBA, Jordan never lost his rhythm.

Michael Jordan tires journalist and sends him to hospital

With Scottsdale Scorpions hosting a basketball game, most would think it would be a fun contest. However, for Mike, now is the time to show his talent. There was no way he would suffer a loss, no matter what. Therefore, he came in. And Gilbert arrived in bad shape. And it came to bite him back.

Jordan tired Gilbert to such an extent that he must have been hospitalized That day. Jordan left the reporter breathless on the pitch and it was the last time he shared the pitch with him. After that, Jordan specifically told him that he couldn’t play basketball with them anymore.

Jordan said: “Look, you’ll never be able to play basketball with us again, because I can’t have a good time if I’m worried about your fall and your death.”

It’s just a classic MJ story where he would do anything to win. For MJ, winning is the ultimate goal, regardless of the opponent. Even at Chris Paul’s camp, CP3 put him to the test. He challenged Jordan to do blows and if it is missing, all the children will get shoes. Jordan, being himself, he went on a tear and made every hit. Paul even tried to distract him with a hand on his face, but to no avail.
