Haha, this guy is unbelievable.
QUOTE Man says he's tired of being mistaken for MJ FOXSports.com Posted: 2 hours ago A Portland, Ore. man has filed a lawsuit for $832 million, saying he is tired of being mistaken for Michael Jordan, according to KGW-TV. The television station's Web site says Allen Heckard filed the suit against His Airness and Nike founder Phil Knight on June 29 in county court, claiming to have been mistaken for the basketball legend nearly every day for the past 15 years. Courtesy KGW.com And he's tired of it. "I'm constantly being accused of looking like Michael and it makes it very uncomfortable for me," Heckard reportedly said. Heckard apparently is suing Jordan for defamation and permanent injury, emotional pain and suffering. He is suing Knight for defamation and permanent injury for promoting Jordan and making him one of the world's most famous athletes. Heckard, who stands slightly taller than 6 feet, says many people miss the fact that he is roughly six inches shorter than Jordan. But Heckard bears a physical resemblance to Jordan because he has a shaved head, an earring in his left ear, and is in good physical shape — from playing basketball. "Even when I go to the gym I'm being accused of playing ball like him (Jordan)," Heckard said. Wouldn't most people consider that a compliment? "Yes, don't get me wrong it's definitely a positive thing, because Michael, like I say is one of the best ball players that I've known to play the game. But then again, that's Michael and I'm me. So I want to be recognized as me just like Michael's being recognized as Michael." The television station apparently caught Heckard wearing blue Air Jordan tennis shoes. Is Heckard trying to look like Jordan? No. "They're very comfortable shoes to play ball in," said Heckard. "I play a lot of basketball and any other shoes I try to play in tend to hurt the bottom of my feet." What made Heckard decide to file suit against Jordan and Knight for $416 million each? "Well, you figure with my age and you multiply that times seven and then I turn around and I figure that's what it all boils down to." http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/5766288?FSO1&ATT=HMA Hey, Michael Jordan looks like himself as naturally as you do. He can't change what he looks like just to satisfy you. Dumbass. My favourite part is when he denies that he's trying to look like Michael Jordan. |

Dude, WTF? So what is he expecting MJ to do, just hand over the money? He can't exactly change his appearance or anything.
