Michael Jordan Insulted By Jay Leno’s Dunk Question
Coming into last night’s show, Jay Leno obviously didn’t do much research on his guest Michael Jordan. If he did, he would have known that you never question anything MJ can do on a basketball court – even if he’s been retired for over six years. In an interview via satellite with the basketball legend, Leno asked Jordan, “Can you still dunk?” Jordan, in complete disbelief that Leno asked that quipped, “Can I still dunk? Are you stupid???”
Also noteworthy in this clip was MJ making fun of Charles Barkley as well as revealing that he uses the alias “Leroy Smith” when he checks into hotels.

I don’t care how great he was, Jordan is an asshole

That was great!
@Ursher, Jordan’s and a$$hole, but Jay Leno isn’t? Leno has done/said much worse over his years as a talk show host. Do you know how many people he made fun of over series issues. I don’t remember MJ making fun of Michael Jackson, Bill Clinton, Paris Hilton, or any of the millions of celebs that Jay Leno has tried to make a funny about.
So if MJ is an A$$hole, then you should be saying the same thing about Leno. Stop jumping on the got d@mn hate train, and doing whatever people tell you to do.
How soon they forget

i dont understand where people have so much hate for people whose responsibility is not to be NICE to the media or anyone in general. MJ made his money being a BASKETBALL player first and foremost. later, the endorsements came and he became a brand and his brand sold because of him being a great BASKETBALL player. he’s not a brand because he’s nice. so stop the hate idiots.
this same goes for many other “celebrities” that shouldnt be celebrities at all in the sense that they’re “role models” or “classy people”. whatever. his arrogance made him the great basketball player that he was. you’re probably the same people who don’t think teams should run up the score or enjoy the game when they’re winning.

Aaron says:
typical media nonsense. MJ did not “CALL LENO STUPID” he asked if he was stupid out of sarcasm for asking if he could dunk.
why does the media always twist things into sensational garbage? pathetic.

@Aaron – you must be smoking the same ish MJ did. Learn to read bro. The title doesn’t say shit about that and the only time it’s mentioned in the article, it was AN EXACT QUOTE. Goddamn people are fuckin stupid sometimes…

Hopefully one day I can put aside enough cheddar to go to MJ’s fantasy camp…I would dress like Billy hoyle and break his ankles with the crossover…I know he would sag off and try to use his height but I think I could still break him….

MJ made me laugh in that interview. Leno didn’t.
Guess who’s the professional comedian?

Chicagorilla says:
@hoopsguru,
you should change your name. You’re an idiot. hoopsidiot would make more sense.
Not making a team is called getting cut. it’s really that simple. He’s not fabricating anything. He actually got cut.

heechul says:
Yeah. MJ definitely had a lil somethin’ somethin before that interview. I was actually surprised he made it to the end.
