That led Edwards to reach out to Jordan, ESPN’s Mark Jones said during ESPN’s Timberwolves vs. Nuggets broadcast Saturday. “I was told by someone in his circle that three weeks ago Ant reached out to Michael Jordan on advice on how to handle some of the double teams and traps that he’s seeing. He’s been extremely frustrated up until late.”

Jayson Tatum: “At the Jordan brand dinner in Paris, I was so nervous. I walked in, and MJ, his wife, and Spike Lee were sitting at a table. My table was across the room, but I decided to introduce myself again. I was 21 at the time, and my hands were shaking as I walked up to MJ. I went to shake his hand, and that’s when it happened—I knocked over his wine glass. It spilled everywhere, and I broke the glass. I was mortified. MJ was cool about it, though, and laughed it off. It’s something we joke about now, but in that moment, I was absolutely embarrassed.” -via YouTube / January 24, 2025
“Recently, Scottie Pippen says he would win six rings without Michael Jordan. That’s when you tell your friends, ‘Man, take a shot.’ DRAYMOND GREEN: What’s wrong with Scottie, man? Somebody gotta check on Scottie. I grew up watching them, man. I’m a big Scottie fan. I don’t know what Scottie’s going through, but I send my love because, no, I’m dead serious, man. You start making comments like the ones Scottie’s been making lately, and people start remembering you for those comments—not for being Scottie Pippen. I don’t like that. People try to downplay who you are and what you’ve done because of the things you’ve said recently. I just don’t want to see people doing that to Scottie because, for damn sure, Scottie is Scottie. That’s why I want to make sure he’s good. Saying stuff like he said about never sitting down for dinner with Michael—it sounds like it’s coming from a place of pain.” -via YouTube / January 23, 2025
