Suits like this really blow my stack because these people don’t realize the good things they have since they are so busy focusing on the negative. This guy has been recognized as Michael Jordan every day of his life and instead of using it to pick up chicks, get in bars for free or autograph his own copy of “Space Jam,” he’s suing the real McCoy.
PORTLAND, Ore. (KGW.com) — A Northeast Portland man is suing basketball superstar Michael Jordan and Nike founder Phil Knight for a combined $832 million, claiming he’s tired of being mistaken for Mike.
Allen Heckard filed the suit himself, June 29th in Washington County Circuit Court. Heckard said he’s been mistaken as Michael Jordan nearly every day over the past 15 years.
“I’m constantly being accused of looking like Michael and it makes it very uncomfortable for me,” Heckard said.
“Very uncomfortable”? People think you’re Michael Jordan! I get mistaken for k.d. lang all the time, but you don’t see me crying about it, at least not in public.
Heckard is suing Jordan for “defamation and permanent injury” and “emotional pain and suffering.” How can Jordan be held responsible for this lookalike? I mean other than the fact that he’s the offspring of let another overindulged NBA superstar.

Hey you can be so lucky, to be mistaken for a star. If you only could get all the beifits he does, or is this why he is suing. It could be worse, how about, Micheal Jackson or even ugly Betty, At least Mr Jordon in not really ugly. So give your head a shake and find out what fn rattles, wake up smell the coffee, Have a nice day sheesh

I’m glad I live in Canada and will never have to see this in court. Seriously , this is a money gurbbing whore on a rampage to seek out a stars fortune. 800$ million because of something Mr Jordan had NO control of what so ever. Go fuck yourself
