This has not been the first instance when Michael Jordan?has denied a fan’s request. A few years ago, he denied rapper Chamillionaire a request to take a photo. He reportedly asked the rapper to pay up $15,000 for a jersey in order to take a photo with him. Chamillionaire was a huge Jordan fan, and he was disappointed that his hero did this to him.

Jordan could be mean on the court as well. He used to intimidate other players and often fool them into thinking they were friends.
