Michael Jordan對隊友十分苛刻,除了會對他們說垃圾話和要求他們艱苦訓練外,還會出拳衝擊隊友。當年,Steve Kerr和Jud Buechler便是受害者。
他的前隊友,外號「眼鏡蛇」的Horace Grant最近在電台節目中談及有關說法。他指出當時隊友Will Perdue在訓練時作出了移動單擋後,Michael Jordan會向對方說不要再做。然而Phil Jackson會繼續重覆練習,結果Will Perdue再來移動單擋時,Michael Jordan便會把他推開。
Grant也透露,當時人們只會捉著Will Perdue,不會把Michael Jordan捉著,原因是Michael Jordan會管好自己。Grant也表示,Michael Jordan會如此放肆,是因為教練Phil Jackson的允許。
引用“Our practices were so intense because Phil, the mastermind behind everything, would put MJ on the second team, me and Scottie would be on the first team, and being competitive like he was, man. Unreal, unreal. Of course punches got thrown, many fights. I’m just so happy that social media wasn’t (around) back then.”
“I hate to tell the story but Will and I are still good friends… Typical Phil (Jackson) we run this play and Will set an illegal pick on MJ, and MJ said,’Will, don’t do that again.’ ‘Whatcha talking about’ that’s Will. MJ says alright; Phil says run it again. So naturally we run it two more times, illegal pick. MJ walks up to Will — boom. Lit him up. It was over; we grabbed Will — you’re not going to hurt MJ. MJ can take care of himself. The next day on the plane, Will gets on with this huge shiner.”
可是有記者認為,他們不敢惹怒Jordan,是因為知道球隊需要他,不希望與他鬧翻。
在今日資訊發達的世界,若有球員在練習時這樣做,相信會被球迷痛罵吧。
