Stacey King, Chicago Bulls Teammate
Stacey King was insulted by him and called him a “powerless forward” and a “big, fat guy” who knew nothing about rebounding. For someone who idolized Michael Jordan and discussed how he used to rub Michael’s poster for luck before games before making it to the Bulls, this was a major blow. When King played for Oklahoma. That was when he said he felt like he could rub the real Michael Jordan for luck… He was just wrong.
Horace Grant, Chicago Bulls Teammate
He even told Horace Grant that he was too stupid to remember plays. That’s not all he would tell employees if he played bad not to feed Horace. It was an impetus to inspire him, but one that Horace did not like. Horace recognizes that Michael was simply trying to motivate him, but it’s a bit harsh to take his food away. Mostly when the first overall pick was Horace.
