Michael Jordan, seen here clubbing in Cabo San Lucas, is apparently forgetting that for a period of about 10 to 12 years his was the face of Hanes, Gatorade, Nike, McDonald’s Wheaties and Coca-Cola. For recently in the Bahamas, the “Air” himself tried to pull a fast one on model Sara Kova (seen below):
[Kova] was taken aback when single-again Michael Jordan did a fast break in her direction. “He was walking so intensely, I was a little nervous,” she recalls. “He said, ???Hi, who are you? I’m Leroy.’ I knew he was Michael Jordan, but I played along. He asked if I wanted to come out on a boat with his friends. I passed on that one, but we did party together later at Aura.”
“Leroy”? The best basketball player that ever lived is telling would-be lays his name is “Leroy”? How the mighty have fallen. This is racist, sad and heartbreakingly real at once.
Leroy? Damn! He’s been popping up everywhere here lately trying to get with all sorts of females. Hope he remembers to “Rap It Up”
Racist? Are you kidding?
Thanks, jesso. I too am confused. The only thing I can come up with is that MJ thinks that he is interchangeable with other random black guys, therefore is racist…against himself.
Damn…this chick just loves to blab to the press. She recently talked about how Lindsey Lohan’s “boyfriend” Callum Best made out with her in the Bahamas while Lindsey was in her room or something.
“Toby” and “Leroy” were names that slave owners (and general white racists) would call any black person whose name they didn’t know. That MJ chose that name is where Cord’s coming from, I think. I think Cord’s summation is pretty much dead on.
[…] I want to be like Mike, but Mike wants to be like Leroy. [Mollygood] […]
Thanks for clearing that up, ronnie. I totally didn’t understand why that would be racist. I’ve never heard that before, and I thought I was pretty up on my history. Back to the books for me.
If he called himself “Leroy” when he knows he’s one of the most recognizeable faces then that just means he has a sense of humor, not that he’s racist. He prolly was testing that blonde chick’s intellect.
even scarier is his choice in women.
That supposed “model” is totally fug!
How do you know he wasn’t joking? (And maybe he didn’t get the Leroy/derogatory connection, either, and Leroy was just the first name that popped into his head.) I’m just sayin’.
I don’t know that I would even believe this report — this chick is all about being a media whore today between MJ and Whatshisname Best.
Why is he so horny and desperate?
The man is a complete dog. When I was living in Chicago one of my co-workers met him at a club and he called her for three weeks trying to “close the deal” as he so eloquently put it. Ish.
How is this racist? Maybe he’s sleazy, but by no means was that racist. get the facts straight.
side note- this Sara Kova chick is not all that. Why do I keep seeing her name? next!
she must have a nice bod cuz the face is def. ordinary/not that cute
