Moreover, Jordan’s involvement with James “Slim” Bouler made headlines all over the world. Bouler was sent to prison for being involved in money laundering and other charges.

During an interview, Bouler talked about how MJ roasted him once. He was rocking some Jheri Curls which caught the eye of the 6 time NBA champion.

Bouler said, “We never had a dull moment. Well, one time, I had a Jheri curl if you look at the episode of ‘The Last Dance’. My hair was long, I was sitting on Michael’s chair, Jordan walked over and said, ‘Old man, if you put any of that Jherico grease on my chair, then me and you gonna get it on.'”
