A Northeast Portland man is suing basketball superstar Michael Jordan and Nike founder Phil Knight for a combined $832 million. Allen Heckard filed the suit himself, June 29th in Washington County Court. Heckard says he’s been mistaken as Michael Jordan nearly every day over the past 15 years and he’s tired of it.

“I'm constantly being accused of looking like Michael and it makes it very uncomfortable for me,” said Heckard.

Heckard is suing Jordan for defamation and permanent injury and emotional pain and suffering. He’s suing Knight for defamation and permanent injury for promoting Jordan and making him one of the most recognized men in the world.

Heckard stands just over six feet tall. He is not six foot six like the real Michael Jordan. But Heckard says many people seem to miss that. He does share a bit of resemblance to the real Michael Jordan. Heckard has a shaved head, an earring in his left ear, and is in good shape from working out, and yes, playing basketball.

This is good stuff!! I wouldnt be suprised if Jordan sues him back for trying to take his identity.

So basically this guy is suing Michael Jordan for being famous and looking like him? What exactly was MJ supposed to do? Get facial plastic surgery?
I mean, it's not like people mistook him for Michael Jackson...

:lol1:



The funny thing is, this guy is nurturing the look by wearing the same earring and shoes. I let him slide on the shaved head, even though if he was truly distressed by the comparisons, he could keep a little growth. Not to mention, he could grow a moustache or beard.

This kind of crap makes me wish I had lived during the Neolithic Period.
