Rodney McCray, Chicago Bulls Teammate
Michael nearly ruined Rodney McCray’s career by always telling the guy he was a loser. In 1992, McCray joined the Bulls and was 31 years old. He was reported to be screaming in Rodney’s face and bashing him down. After that, Rodney wasn’t even able to put up a jumper—he took a beating.

Patrick Ewing, New York Knicks
In the playoffs, Patrick Ewing and the Knicks faced off five times against Jordan’s Bulls. No matter how much they practiced and prepared, the Knicks could not beat the Bulls whenever MJ was in the lineup. Up until that day, Patrick Ewing was still affected by the loss of Jordan. In one of his most recent interviews, he mentioned that he did not want to watch ESPN’s documentary on Michael Jordan and the Bulls. He was saying, “I had to live through all of the battles that we had to go through, and now you all have a documentary that you have to keep rubbing it in my face.”The two NBA superstars became close personal friends but still clashed on the court during their epic battles.
