Rory Holloway, Mike Tyson’s friend and longtime manager, recalled a time in his book, Taming the Beast: The Untold Story of Mike Tyson, where the boxing champ came toe to toe with basketball legend, Michael Jordan. According to Rory, it wasn’t pretty and was about to be a flat out ‘rumble in the jungle’…

That Time Tyson Confronted Jordan Over Robin Givens:

It’s no secret that Mike Tyson had a rough time when he was a boxing champ. The former champ was once married to Robin Givens and they had a rocky relationship. When they divorced in 1989, Tyson was beside himself with grief and he struggled to deal with their separation.

Rory Holloway and Mike developed a relationship while Tyson was learning his craft under Cus D’Amato as a young teenager and Rory  says he was by his side until they fell out in the late 1990s. In his book, he detailed the night he joined Tyson, Michael Jordan, Chicago Bears coach, Mike Ditka, star defensive end, Richard Dent, and boxing promoter, Don King, for dinner at a Chicago restaurant. Holloway wrote that he was trying to help Tyson deal with his separation from Givens because Tyson loved her wasn’t dealing with the divorce well at all.

Worried that things may get problematic, Holloway says he asked the waiter to limit Tyson’s alcohol intake because it was public knowledge that Jordan apparently once dated Givens and Givens was Tyson’s weakness at that time. During the dinner, Tyson confronted Jordan about  dating Robin and that’s when dinner time turned into ‘the clash of the living legends.’ Check out the details below…

Via Taming the Beast: The Untold Story of Mike Tyson: Mike Tyson’s sitting there with his drink of choice, a Long Island Tea, and when he drinks his real feelings come out …, Holloway wrote in his book. I’m telling the server to water his drinks down ‘cause I see where this is going. Mike stares across the table at Michael Jordan. He says, ‘Hey man, you think I’m stupid? I know you f—-d with my b—h.’

Tyson Went Off On Ditka & Jordan, Don King & Manager Intervene

Shocked as hell that Tyson would confront him in that manner, Jordan was quiet and looking for an exit, according to Holloway. Ditka tried to step in to diffuse the situation, but Tyson then stepped to him too and let him know how he really felt about him:

Holloway: Jordan, it’s obvious he just wants to get up and run. He wants no part of this. Mike turns to Ditka. ‘Man, you think somebody scared of you, all that racist s–t you been talking?’ He says to Dent, ‘Y’all scared of this damn white man, Richard? He ain’t nobody. You gonna let him talk that way?’

Holloway said that at that time, Tyson’s temper was explosive and he’d had become a bit of a chaperone for Mike. That night was crazy and from the sounds of it, Jordan is lucky Mike didn’t kill him. Despite the fact that Jordan reportedly dated Givens before Mike, Rory said Tyson still was bothered by them being together:

 Holloway: It was a circus, for real, that night. Don King trying to change the subject. Me and John trying to hold Mike down. Mike telling everyone he’s going to bust Jordan’s ass. Jordan’s dressed sharp as always and he can’t get out of there fast enough.

As y’all can pretty much imagine, that was a big fiasco…all over Tyson’s love for one woman- Robin. As a reminder of how rocky their marriage was, here’s a brief recap of it: Mike Tyson and Robin Givens married on February 7, 1988.  Tyson has oftentimes painted Givens as a gold digger, while Givens alleged that Tyson was abusive towards her. We all remember that awkward 1988 interview Tyson and Givens did with Barbara Walters… Givens claimed that Tyson had a volatile temper and was scary to be around.

“He’s got a side to him that’s scary,” Givens shared with Walters. “Michael is intimidating, to say the least. I think there’s a time when he cannot control his temper. And that’s frightening to me. To my mother. To anyone around.”

Although Givens claims were never proven,  she filed for divorce soon after that interview. Tyson later revealed that they still continued dating each other after the divorce, which was officially finalized on Valentine’s Day in 1989.

Welp, it’s just like the old school saying goes: ‘We live and we learn.’ For the record, it’s good to see that Tyson has long ago gotten over Robin and he’s also now a much more tamed down, down-to-earth, fun-loving dude these days.

In the sports world, this is one of the biggest arguments to-date. But Washington Wizards’ Dwight Howard feels that Kobe outplayed Jordan in every aspect.

“As a matter of fact, many believed that to have been a failed experiment, which led to Howard walking away from the Purple and Gold the following summer as a free agent,” Paolo Songco of Clutch Points.

“Nevertheless, the forgettable season he had with the Lakers does not make him think any less of former teammate Kobe Bryant, who Howard actually thinks is better than the great Michael Jordan.”

Keep in mind that Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant reportedly would butt heads, so to speak, on the court. So if anything, this should add weight to Howard’s opinion regarding Kobe being far better than Jordan.

“He may have not liked him on a personal level, but perhaps the year they spent together as teammates was enough to prove to Howard that in his mind, Kobe is indeed the GOAT,” Songco states.

WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA — Traveling back to his roots, Michael Jordan has been on a mission this year to give more than money to those in need, showing his “human” side.

According to Associated Press, Michael Jordan decided to venture back to his hometown of Wilmington to help continued disaster relief for victims of Hurricane Florence, back in September.

The source says Jordan arrived on-location wearing North Carolina Tar Heels blue. And reportedly, he chose a Lowe’s home improvement store as his gifting venue — which makes sense, considering the various needs of the city’s residents.

Michael graciously handed out Thanksgiving dinners at the store — as well as “Jordans” to kids at the Boys and Girls Club, on Tuesday, November 20, where he used to play as a teen.

NOTE: In September, Jordan donated $2 million towards relief efforts. The source states $1 million went to the Red Cross and the other million went to the Foundation for the Carolinas Hurricane Florence Response Fund.

“I can give money all day long, but at some point you want them to understand you’re human,” Jordan tells AP‘s Steve Redd.

Some recipients of Michael’s help were on-scene meeting with him and expressing their incredible gratitude for his assistance. One beneficiary and hurricane survivor, Stephanie Parker, says she doesn’t know how she and her family of six would’ve managed the last two months with MJ’s assistance.

When she saw Michael on Monday, November 19, she was overwhelmed with emotion and couldn’t resist offering him a huge hug and thanks for rescuing her family. Parker was asked about thoughts concerning Jordan’s personal visit to Wilmington, and she responded:

“It means he hasn’t forgotten. It means we are important.”

The source reports Jordan smiled big when asked about meeting Parker, specifically. Michael responded as follows.

“You really want to trust that money goes to the right people. And when you see it goes to the right people, it makes me feel good that I did the right thing.”

According to Parker, she and her family have had a rough time since the hurricane.

“At first it was really, really hard to realize that you lost everything,” she mentioned to the source. However, she emphasizes that those like Jordan who helped provide needed funds have been an “incredible blessing.”

The Associated Press notes that Jordan will stay in the area for a little while to monitor hurricane recovery efforts in Wilmington. Likewise, the source says he’s considering partnering with others to continue providing assistance as needed.

“I wanted to be an igniter to the process,” Jordan mentioned regarding his initial donation. Yet, even though he’s helping so many, Michael says he’s going to take a while before things are “back to normal” in the area. He maintains that he’ll contribute however he can.

“I am pretty sure that the league will have some support systems that will reach out to this community. And we are going to do a lot in Charlotte, too. But the overall game is about helping other people, so I can see it reaching all the way down to this area.”

The post This Thanksgiving, Michael Jordan Returns Home To Help His Community Recover appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

NBA icon, Michael Jordan, may be worth a $1.65BILLION, but right about now, many fans believe his latest statement about Donald Trump’s LeBron James tweet ain’t even worth 165 pennies. Why? Because many feel that his response is the epitome of lackluster complacency about our society. See why below.

The Tweet That Started It All

As most of us have heard by now, on Friday evening Donald Trump did what he always does- let his Twitter fingers get tuh talking and offend whomever he sees fit in that moment. After checkin’ out LeBron James’ inspiring interview with CNN’s, Don Lemon, Trump tweeted this:

Donald Trump- “Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made Lebron look smart, which isn’t easy to do. I like Mike!”

The “Mike” Trump’s referring to is apparently Michael Jordan, whom many fans have increasingly compared LeBron’s career to.

Now, we can talk all day long about how incredibly insensitive and ignorant it is of Trump to slam LeBron for opening a school for inner city kids in his hometown- Akron, OH- which guarantees paid college tuitions upon their graduation. However, that convo’ isn’t needed because simply making such a statement, as the 45th president of United States, speaks volumes all on its own. Moving on…

Therefore, I wanna instead focus on the reactions NBA icon, Michael Jordan, has been receiving from many, as well as the response he finally gave nearly 34 hours later.

Almost immediately after Trump called LeBron and Don Lemon “dumb,” athletes everywhere, slammed him on social media:

https://twitter.com/spidadmitchell/status/1025719952739844098

So let me get this straight: Flint, MI has dirty water still, but you worried about an interview about a man doing good for education and generations of kids in his hometown? Shut your damn mouth! Stop using them twitter fingers and get stuff done for our country with that pen. https://t.co/sEkX3OKaJM

Fans soon began to realize that Jordan was remaining silent on the matter, even though Trump brought him into the conversation. Many comments were left online, bashing Jordan’s silence, then came this…

Jordan’s Late Response

After feelin’ that heat getting a lil’ too hot in this social media kitchen, Michael Jordan pulled a wealthy person move, by responding about the incredibly offensive Trump tweet via his publicist. Here’s his statement:

NBA Legend, Matt Barnes, & Others Call Out Michael Jordan

There was one retired NBA player, who then faced Jordan head on over this- Matt Barnes. Clearly, Matt had a lil’ time on his hands within the past 24 or so, because he posted a series of messages online, to put both Trump and Jordan on full blast.

Embed from Getty Images

First, Matt made a good point, that Jordan has made a fortune off his Nike Jordan brand, but typically says very little, if anything at all, to stand up against injustices and degradation against his own customers. Matt included a meme with a message that read:

Matt Barnes- “Besides selling overpriced shoes that kids are being beat up & killed over, when is Michael Jordan gonna step up & stand for & with the people that support him so much?”

He also captioned his post with this message:

MB: “Trump is the perfect example of how a man shouldn’t act! Maybe it’s the little dick syndrome ‍♂️ After he ended his insecure rant about Lebron yesterday by finishing w “I like Mike” I really feel like for once MJ should step up & say something for all of us who’ve supported this man & bought his expensive ass shoes for all these years! #ILikeLebron -Just my thoughts”

https://www.instagram.com/p/BmELI7PF7ZX/

Then, Barnes gathered up a few of Trump’s past tweets, in which he completely contradicted himself, regarding his opinion about LeBron James:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BmEQZV-lFeu/

Fans followed suit and bashed the hell outta Jordan over his elusive response and as y’all can already imagine, they let Jordan HAVE it! Reactions ranged from folks questioning Jordan’s motives, to accusing him of trying to play it safe so he can still sell his shoes, despite the degradation of his people:

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he said something…but you can tell his desire to sell shoes dampened the tone.

MJ is without a doubt, the G.O.A.T. But as a community leader, he shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same breath as LeBron. MJ kinda reminds me of those “neutral” countries during WW2, wanting to pacify both sides when there’s a clear choice to be made.

— NeverAgain14 (@yesungluluvz14) August 4, 2018

Wait he had to use a publicist to say that ?

— aaron charlow (@acharlowmedia) August 4, 2018

I think the debate over who’s better at the sport, is a valuable debate. However, a debate over whether or not Jordan is anything like LeBron- when it comes to publicly standing up against injustices (keyword being ‘publicly’), by risking his own livelihood in the process- there is no comparison. LeBron wins that hands down, but that’s not a diss, because I’m pretty sure Jordan even knows that.

Jasmine Jordan and Fiancee

At 25 years old, Jasmine M. Jordan is smiling from ear to ear over that nice rock her man just put on her ‘I’m spoken for’ finger. She’s marrying Rakeem Christmas, a man who has a lot in common with her pops- he, too, is a pro basketball player. Rakeem is a Syracuse University graduate, who played overseas, for the New Zealand Breakers in Auckland, New Zealand, this past season.

Jasmine announced that Rakeem had popped the question on her social media accounts, with emotional photos attached with a caption.

We’ve been together for a while now
We’re growing stronger everyday now
It feels so good and there is no doubt
I will stay with you | 💚
#ImENGAGED

So far, neither Michael Jordan, nor Juanita have spoken out about their daughter’s engagement. However, for Father’s Day, Jasmine shared pics of herself, her dad, and her fiancee chillin’ on a yacht somewhere, cheesin’ it up for the camera. Clearly, that is an indication that the NBA icon approves of his soon-to-be son-in-law.

Past Controversy & Lesbian Rumors

Unfortunately, a celebrity as big as Jordan wouldn’t be an icon if he- or in this case, his offspring- were not shrouded in some type of controversial moment in time. That brings us to those persistent rumors about Jasmine’s sexuality.

In 2013, Jasmine shook up the internet, after posting a lovey dovey photo with her friend, who was reported by Media Take Out (MTO) as being a lesbian. In the photo, Jasmine is closely hugging her female friend around her waist. Following the major hype and lesbian rumors, Jasmine then took to Instagram to post a now deleted response to address the claims, without actually denying the rumor at all. According to MadameNoire, her posts read:

“MTO has struck again! Lol but just like the last time, I’m chillin and not bothered. Negativity go to the left and take a seat. No time for that! Everyone have an amazing day!” Jasmine Jordan wrote.

And also this:

”Until Love, Trust, Honesty, Repost, Loyalty, Commitment, Genuine, Happiness and other characteristics or aspects I want in a relationship is defined by one gender then and only then will I discuss my sexual preference.”

Here, at ILOSM, we couldn’t care less if a person is straight, gay, lesbian, try-sexual, bisexual, or asexual. The most important factor is that when one finds their true love, they do not allow external judgement deny them of their right to be loved, which is clearly what Jasmine M. Jordan has done. Wishing the soon-to-be newlyweds many years of marital bliss!

Michael Jordan has three children with his ex-wife, Juanita Vanoy-Jordan, two with his current wife, Yvette, and depending on who you ask, he may have a love child somewhere out there too. That latter part is still an unconfirmed claim though. Anywho, when Jordan was in his prime in the 1980’s-90’s, as the driving force behind the Chicago Bulls, his three now adult children were oftentimes photographed with him after the games and such.

Jordan’s Eldest Son, Jeffrey, Then…

Some of y’all may recall when his eldest child, Jeffrey M. Jordan (pictured below with his dad, MJ), looked like this…

Jeffrey Jordan Now…

Well, that was then and this is now. The young Jordan is 29 years old now and ready to start the married life. Heres a recent pic of him…

Jeffrey’s New Fiancee

In November 2017, Jeffrey got down on bended knee like Boyz II Men and asked his longtime girlfriend, Radina Aneva, to spend her life with him. They posted the news online for everyone to witness their happiness…

https://www.instagram.com/p/BZplv6wjTUx/

Radina works as an accounts receivable analyst for Twentieth Century Fox. Jeffrey was a high achieving college basketball player for the University of Illinois and later, the University of Central Florida. After leaving  the UCF b-ball team in 2012 for “personal reasons,” Jeffrey pursued a future with Nike (the brand his Pops has had a decades-long lucrative partnership with). As of 2013 to present, Jeffrey Michael Jordan has been entered into Nike Inc.’s management-training program.

So far, there hasn’t been any public word from his parents- Michael Jordan and Juanita Vanoy on his engagement, but pretty sure they’re happy for the soon-to-be-newlyweds.

Speaking of marriages, 54 year old MJ’s marriage to his 38 year old wife, Yvette Prieto-Jordan (above), is still going strong.

That Time Tyson Confronted Jordan Over Robin Givens:

It’s no secret that Mike Tyson had a rough time when he was a boxing champ. The former champ was once married to Robin Givens and they had a rocky relationship. When they divorced in 1989, Tyson was beside himself with grief and he struggled to deal with their separation.

Rory Holloway and Mike developed a relationship while Tyson was learning his craft under Cus D’Amato as a young teenager and Rory  says he was by his side until they fell out in the late 1990s. In his book, he detailed the night he joined Tyson, Michael Jordan, Chicago Bears coach, Mike Ditka, star defensive end, Richard Dent, and boxing promoter, Don King, for dinner at a Chicago restaurant. Holloway wrote that he was trying to help Tyson deal with his separation from Givens because Tyson loved her wasn’t dealing with the divorce well at all.

Worried that things may get problematic, Holloway says he asked the waiter to limit Tyson’s alcohol intake because it was public knowledge that Jordan apparently once dated Givens and Givens was Tyson’s weakness at that time. During the dinner, Tyson confronted Jordan about  dating Robin and that’s when dinner time turned into ‘the clash of the living legends.’ Check out the details below…

Via Taming the Beast: The Untold Story of Mike Tyson: Mike Tyson’s sitting there with his drink of choice, a Long Island Tea, and when he drinks his real feelings come out …, Holloway wrote in his book. I’m telling the server to water his drinks down ‘cause I see where this is going.

Mike turns to Ditka. ‘Man, you think somebody scared of you, all that racist s–t you been talking?’ He says to Dent, ‘Y’all scared of this damn white man, Richard? He ain’t nobody. You gonna let him talk that way?’

Holloway said that at that time, Tyson’s temper was explosive and he’d had become a bit of a chaperone for Mike. That night was crazy and from the sounds of it, Jordan is lucky Mike didn’t kill him. Despite the fact that Jordan reportedly dated Givens before Mike, Rory said Tyson still was bothered by them being together:

 Holloway: It was a circus, for real, that night. Don King trying to change the subject. Me and John trying to hold Mike down. Mike telling everyone he’s going to bust Jordan’s ass. Jordan’s dressed sharp as always and he can’t get out of there fast enough.

As a reminder of how rocky their marriage was, here’s a brief recap of it: Mike Tyson and Robin Givens married on February 7, 1988.  Tyson has oftentimes painted Givens as a gold digger, while Givens alleged that Tyson was abusive towards her.

Although Givens claims were never proven,  she filed for divorce soon after that interview. Tyson later revealed that they still continued dating each other after the divorce, which was officially finalized on Valentine’s Day in 1989.

Welp, it’s just like the old school saying goes: ‘We live and we learn.’ For the record, it’s good to see that Tyson has long ago gotten over Robin and he’s also now a much more tamed down, down-to-earth, fun-loving dude these days.

The post Tyson’s Ex-Manager Drops Bombshell On Why Tyson Had A Major Altercation w/Jordan appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

Jasmine Jordan is one of three children by the ex-Bull and his first wife, Juanita Vanoy; Jordan became the father of twin girls with his wife, Yvette Prieto, in 2014. His daughter, Jasmine graduated from Syracuse University two years ago with a degree in sports management.

Jasmine Mickael Jordan is now a beautiful 24-year-old woman and she’s turning heads left and right on social media. She has quite the following on Instagram with more than 30,000 followers and her photos are strikingly beautiful.

BOLD!

In an interview with BeGeorgeous.com, Jasmine described herself as “Bold”.

“If I had to describe myself in one word, it would be “bold” because I am who I am and will be who I am whether someone likes it or not. I am straightforward, funny, honest, and uncensored 24/7. I live for positive vibes and good times. I don’t indulge in drama or negative energy, and I work conscientiously to keep anything or anyone like that out of my life. I am comfortable in my skin and nothing and no one can affect that.”

Check Her Out!

Past Relationship With A Woman?

Jasmine also has several photos of the man in her life. The post comes as quite a surprise to many fans because Jasmine actually revealed she had a girlfriend back in 2013. Although she previously shared the photos on Instagram, the photos have since been deleted.

But, despite her past relationships, her father is reportedly ecstatic she’s decided to date men again. Hopefully, everything works out with Jasmine and her boyfriend!

According to BeGeorgeous.com, Jasmine is extremely happy!

“I have a boyfriend; his name is Rakeem Christmas. He currently plays for the Indiana Pacers NBA Team. He was one of the first people I met on campus at Syracuse. He became my best friend during my time at Syracuse and after. We started dating during his rookie season and are happily together today.”

Shocked as hell that Tyson would confront him in that manner, Jordan was quiet and looking for an exit, according to Holloway. Ditka tried to step in to diffuse the situation, but Tyson then stepped to him too and let him know how he really felt about him:

Holloway: Jordan, it’s obvious he just wants to get up and run. He wants no part of this. Mike turns to Ditka. ‘Man, you think somebody scared of you, all that racist s–t you been talking?’ He says to Dent, ‘Y’all scared of this damn white man, Richard? He ain’t nobody. You gonna let him talk that way?’

Holloway said that at that time, Tyson’s temper was explosive and he’d had become a bit of a chaperone for Mike. That night was crazy and from the sounds of it, Jordan is lucky Mike didn’t kill him. Despite the fact that Jordan reportedly dated Givens before Mike, Rory said Tyson still was bothered by them being together:

 Holloway: It was a circus, for real, that night. Don King trying to change the subject. Me and John trying to hold Mike down. Mike telling everyone he’s going to bust Jordan’s ass. Jordan’s dressed sharp as always and he can’t get out of there fast enough.

As y’all can pretty much imagine, that was a big fiasco…all over Tyson’s love for one woman- Robin. As a reminder of how rocky their marriage was, here’s a brief recap of it: Mike Tyson and Robin Givens married on February 7, 1988.  Tyson has oftentimes painted Givens as a gold digger, while Givens alleged that Tyson was abusive towards her. We all remember that awkward 1988 interview Tyson and Givens did with Barbara Walters… Givens claimed that Tyson had a volatile temper and was scary to be around.

“He’s got a side to him that’s scary,” Givens shared with Walters. “Michael is intimidating, to say the least. I think there’s a time when he cannot control his temper. And that’s frightening to me. To my mother. To anyone around.”

Although Givens claims were never proven,  she filed for divorce soon after that interview. Tyson later revealed that they still continued dating each other after the divorce, which was officially finalized on Valentine’s Day in 1989.

Welp, it’s just like the old school saying goes: ‘We live and we learn.’ For the record, it’s good to see that Tyson has long ago gotten over Robin and he’s also now a much more tamed down, down-to-earth, fun-loving dude these days.
