When it comes to the kind of man who is not amused by trash talk and can hold grudges like no other, Michael Jordan is the first name that comes to mind. Imagine pitting one of the world’s greatest basketball players and one of the world’s most famous comedians against each other. Kevin Hart, the renowned Hollywood star, once shared a story of publicly mocking Michael Jordan for his dressing sense.

The $450 million worth star had to deal with “MJ Taking it Personally”. When you trash talk Jordan, you get the results you expect. For instance, former Memphis Grizzlies player Darrick Martin trashed talked to MJ one time, which prompted Jordan to shut him up by winning comfortably against him.

This is what Jordan does when he wants to prove to people that he is better than them. However, what happens if Jordan does not respond? It is exactly what happened with Hart, according to an interview he gave. Hart was asked to participate in a charity show in Los Vegas while Jordan was there. During the show, Hart made some comments that may have offended Jordan.

A trash talk once didn’t get a response from Michael Jordan!

It was interesting to hear how he discussed his fashion, beard, and many other things in the show with the audience. The response that he gave was that he was late and had seen him.

He explained the situation by saying: “so we were at a charity event, it was mike’s vegas charity event you know I was hitting him I was on stage so I gave him a couple you know I hit his pants he had like his pants.”
